By automating work categorization and resource allocation, it reduces manual errors and streamlines financial reporting, ultimately fostering better collaboration between engineering and financial teams. With its ability to connect technical tasks to business objectives, the report aids leaders in optimizing engineering investments and aligning them with strategic growth targets, providing a comprehensive view of work distribution and resource needs across projects.
