A CAPEX control app organizes investment requisitions by cost center and tracks what was spent against what was planned. Platforms like [Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com) bring a ready-made CAPEX template that connects requisitions, suppliers, and execution, instead of investment spreadsheets that lose sync with reality.

## Why CAPEX needs its own control

Investment isn't an everyday expense: it has a tier, a cost center, and long-term tracking. Treating it in the same spreadsheet as daily bills muddles the budget.

Without a cost-center view, no one knows how much is already committed. The budget overruns because each area sees only its own part, never the whole.

A dedicated app separates CAPEX, shows the budget by area, and tracks each requisition from approval to execution. Planned and actual sit side by side, with no surprise at closing.

## What CAPEX control needs to solve

- Organize investment requisitions in a standardized way
- Distribute the budget by cost center
- Compare actual with planned
- Connect products, suppliers, and requisition items
- Show how much of each cost center is already committed
- Track approvals in one flow

## How it works in practice

- A CAPEX dashboard by requisition status
- Cost centers tied to each purchase requisition
- Requisition items with products and suppliers
- Tracking of actual versus planned
- A consolidated view of investment by area
