These allocations are benchmarked against industry standards to ensure they are realistic and competitive.
Actuals vs. Planned Budget Comparison:
• Users can input their actual spending or connect their financial data directly to the solution, allowing for real-time comparison against benchmarked budget allocations. This helps identify discrepancies and areas for improvement.
