Take Control of Your Spend with CONNECT Cost Allocation

Managing telecom expenses across a complex organisation shouldn't feel like solving a puzzle. Whether you need high-level automation or granular precision, CONNECT adapts to your business structure. 

From automated defaults to itemised adjustments, CONNECT ensures every dollar is accurately accounted for, drastically reducing manual data entry and eliminating orphaned costs.

Stop worrying about unallocated services on day one. By establishing a default Cost Centre at the Billing Account level, CONNECT automatically assigns this cost centre to any new service detected during bill ingestion. 

• Best for: Organisations where most services under an account belong to the same business unit. 

• The Benefit: Minimises manual effort and restricts the visibility of unallocated billed services until you are ready to review them. 

If your telecom expenses are tied directly to headcount, our User-Driven model makes management effortless. All telecom services assigned to an individual automatically inherit that user’s Cost Centre profile. If the User doesn’t have a service, you can still set allocation at Service level. 

• Best for: Environments where service ownership is clearly tied to individuals. 

• The Benefit: When a team member changes departments, updating their user profile instantly shifts all their associated service costs to the new cost centre. 

Need to manage shared infrastructure, services, or team resources? Service-Level allocation applies control directly to the service itself, completely independent of who is using it. 

• Best for: Shared assets, non-user-tied services, or organisations utilising a dedicated Service-Driven operating model. 
• The Benefit: Irrespective of Users, cost allocation is defined at Service level. 

For ultimate financial precision, CONNECT Enterprise allows you to split costs at the individual charge level after bill ingestion. Unlike other levels, this is amount-based rather than percentage-based, giving you dollar-for-dollar accuracy. 

• Best for: Single charges that span multiple projects, devices, or business activities; change monthly and require an exact dollar split on investigation.   

• The Benefit: Manually adjust and split a single charge across multiple Cost Centres instantly.
