From investment proposal to asset register in one workflow. Plan capital expenditures by category, route through approval chains, phase cash-out monthly, calculate straight-line depreciation automatically, run NPV/IRR analysis for investment appraisal, and feed results directly into the Master Budget — D&A into the P&L, cash-out into the investing cash flow.
Every capital investment starts as a proposal. Define the asset category (machinery, IT, vehicles, buildings), estimated cost, expected delivery date, requesting department, and business justification. Route through configurable approval chains — department manager, CFO, board for amounts above threshold. Track status from proposed through approved to committed and completed.
Every investment proposal gets a financial appraisal. Define expected cash inflows (cost savings, revenue increase, productivity gains) and AERA calculates NPV at your WACC, IRR using Newton-Raphson iteration, and simple/discounted payback period. Compare investments on a like-for-like basis to prioritize the portfolio.
Once an asset is commissioned, AERA starts calculating depreciation automatically. Straight-line method with useful life configured per asset category (machinery 10yr, IT 5yr, vehicles 4yr, buildings 20yr). Monthly granularity for accurate P&L impact. The D&A feeds directly into the Master Budget's P&L projection — no manual journal entries.
No forms, no sales funnel. Just a conversation about what ARIA can do for your CAPEX management.
