Overview
Month-end should not be a surprise. But when budget data lives in accounting systems and field spending happens on paper timesheets, you discover problems seven days too late. By the time finance compiles the month-end report, that consultant already billed you 20% over budget. That equipment rental already ran three weeks past authorization. Matidor tracks budget in real-time as spending happens. Field costs flow directly into budget calculations. Automated alerts notify you when projects approach limits. Monthly close drops from seven days to thirty minutes. Transform budget surprises into budget control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, native integrations with major accounting platforms work out of the box. Matidor syncs automatically with QuickBooks Online, Deltek Vantagepoint, Replicon, and Harvest. Expenses flow from your accounting system into Matidor in real-time, eliminating double data entry completely. Project budgets map directly to your chart of accounts so cost codes stay aligned across systems. If you use a less common accounting platform, our REST API handles custom integrations.
Budget alerts configure in minutes with threshold-based notifications that catch problems before they escalate. Default alerts trigger at 70%, 90%, and 100% of budget allocation. When spending hits these thresholds, the system sends automatic email notifications to project managers immediately. Managers receive alerts as soon as thresholds are reached, giving them time to review spending patterns, reallocate resources, or adjust project scope before overruns become financial crises.
Absolutely, with zero limitations on project duration or fiscal year boundaries. Define project budgets that run across any time period (12 months, 3 years, 5+ years for long-term programs). Track spending continuously as projects cross fiscal year boundaries without resetting or manual adjustments. Generate reports filtered by any date range you need (calendar year, fiscal year, quarter, custom periods). Historical spending data remains accessible indefinitely for audit purposes, benchmarking analysis, and regulatory compliance documentation.
Matidor provides early warning and controlled overage management so budget problems never become surprises. Automated alerts notify managers when spending approaches budget limits (typically at 70% and 90% thresholds), giving visibility into potential overruns before they occur. Analyze why projects overran to improve future estimates. Identify whether labor costs, equipment expenses, contractor spending, or third-party costs drove the variance.
Labor cost tracking integrates seamlessly with time tracking systems for automated allocation without manual data entry. Sync Matidor with your time tracking platform (Replicon, Harvest, or other timesheet systems), and employee timesheets automatically capture labor hours by project. Labor costs calculate automatically from hourly rates and allocate to projects based on timesheet entries. View labor cost visibility by project and by individual team member to understand exactly where labor dollars are being spent.
Yes, through portfolio dashboards that consolidate budget status across unlimited projects simultaneously. The portfolio view displays every active project budget side by side with color-coded status indicators (on budget, approaching limit, over budget). Spot which projects are consuming budget fastest, which still have plenty of budget remaining, and where to shift financial attention or resources.
Definitely, through benchmarking reports that compare project types side by side for continuous improvement. Filter projects by type, industry, client, or custom tags to group similar work together. See which project types are most profitable and which consistently overrun budgets or timelines. Benchmark key metrics including budget variance percentage, cost per unit, labor efficiency, contractor cost ratios, and schedule performance.
Absolutely, with full data portability in standard formats for complete flexibility. Export budget data as CSV files or Excel spreadsheets including actuals, forecasts, variance, cost category breakdowns, and transaction-level detail. Pull exactly the data you need using custom filters (date range, cost categories, projects, portfolios) before export.
Update budget allocations anytime, with complete change history and audit trails. Reallocate funds between cost categories, adjust project budgets based on change orders, and track variance against both original and revised budgets. Automated alerts recalculate based on updated allocations.
Yes. View projected total cost based on current spending trends, estimate completion costs using burn rate analysis, identify projects likely to exceed budget before it happens, and adjust resource allocation proactively. Forecasting supports monthly, quarterly, and project-to-completion views.
Configure multiple currencies for projects in different countries, apply exchange rates (manually updated or automatically from financial services), and report in your base currency with conversion details. Track currency fluctuations and their impact on project budgets.
Generate transaction-level detail reports, cost allocation reports by project and category, accrual reports for month-end close, variance analysis reports comparing budget to actuals, audit trail reports showing all financial changes with timestamps and user attribution. Export all reports to Excel or PDF for auditor review.
