R&D capitalization you can prove, down to the minute.
AndonPulse builds your CapEx, IFRS and GAAP aligned, report from the work already in your issue tracker. Real measured hours, each one traceable to the exact task, with no timesheets.
Built on the data your engineering team already produces. Nothing new for them to adopt.
Capitalizing software shouldn't be this painful
If you capitalize with timesheets, here's what you're up against:
You can't prove the numbers
A timesheet gives you a total, but no way to show an auditor the actual work behind it.
It eats days every month
Finance pulls the numbers together by hand from data scattered across people and tools, and engineers resent logging it.
The numbers are wrong
Hours get logged to the wrong task or guessed from memory, and a single day can add up past eight.
You capitalize less than you should
When no one can tell which work qualifies, anything ambiguous defaults to OpEx, so you understate what you're entitled to capitalize.
Capitalization you can measure, prove, and defend
Every hour shows the work behind it
Todayyou hand finance a total, with nothing to show the auditor when they ask how you got it.
With AndonPulseevery capitalized interval links to the exact issue, the status change that produced it, and the rule that captured it, so any number is defensible on demand.
Real measured hours, not estimates
Todaytime is guessed from memory or logged to the wrong task, and nobody catches it.
With AndonPulsehours are reconstructed from the real task history, split fairly across concurrent work, and capped at a true eight-hour day, so the totals are right without anyone checking.
You decide what counts, and it takes minutes
Todayevery month is a manual scramble to gather the data and decide what qualifies.
With AndonPulseyou set simple rules for what qualifies once, they run automatically every month, and they recalculate past months whenever you change them. Setting them up is quick, and we're here to help if you want.
Time off never counts as work
Todaytimesheets never reconcile against the leave system, so non-capitalizable holidays, vacation, and sick days slip into the total.
With AndonPulseconnect SageHR, BambooHR, or your HR system and we subtract holidays, vacation, and sick days automatically, so every figure reconciles with the leave system.
Capitalization Finance and Engineering both sign off on.
With AndonPulse I can tell an auditor why a task capitalized 2 hours, not 50 — every number traces back to the work. We write the rules ourselves, so the math is fully transparent.
How it works?
Connect your issue tracker
Link the systems engineering already uses. Read-only.
Connect your HR system
Link SageHR, BambooHR, or your HR system, and we automatically pull holidays, vacation, and sick days so they never count as working time. Read-only.
Set up your capitalization rules
You decide what qualifies, based on the fields your team already uses (task type, status, label) and who gets credited. It takes minutes, and we're around to help.
Review, trace, and approve in the app
See every attributed interval and the rule that matched it, drill into any number to the source work, and approve. The eight-hour daily cap and weekend exclusion are already applied.
Generate the audit-ready report
Export hours by employee, issue, and day. Every figure traces back to the work, so when the auditor asks, the answer is one click away.
AndonPulse measures the work and does the math. You set the policy and approve the result, instead of chasing timesheets every month.
Built on the tools your engineering team already uses.
Read-only access. We never alter your engineering data.
Powered by the same engine your engineering leaders use for delivery visibility.
The data behind your capitalization report also helps your VP of Engineering catch slipping initiatives before they are late.
