How to set a monthly spending target and see how much of it has already been used on a radar chart?

In Jestor's SMB management template, a radar-style indicator shows the maximum spending target set for the month and the percentage already used of that value, giving immediate visibility into how much is left before going over budget.

How does Jestor work as an AI tool for operations teams at SMBs?

At an SMB, there's often no dedicated financial analyst tracking spending every single day — control ends up scattered across spreadsheets and whoever pays the bills' memory. Jestor brings automation and data together in one place so SMBs can track their budget without relying on multiple loose spreadsheets.

How to set up the spending target in Jestor?

Set the maximum spending target value for the month, as a budget reference.
Every new accounts-payable entry automatically feeds that month's usage calculation.
The radar shows the percentage already reached — for example, 94% of a $10,000 target.
Once the defined target is exceeded, the recommendation is to review spending to check it's still within the company's real projections.
