Invisible spend: Marketing teams globally engage thousands of creators and production companies through credit cards, creating a procurement nightmare with zero spend visibility. Finance discovers these expenses only after monthly statements arrive, making budget control impossible.
Compliance chaos: Managing tax compliance, payments, and contracts across 192 countries with different regulations while ensuring proper vendor onboarding and risk management. One mistake can trigger audits, penalties, and reputational damage that far exceeds the production costs.
Budget black holes: No consolidated view of content and spending across departments, regions, or projects. Finance discovers overruns after the fact.
Velocity vs. control: Marketing needs to move fast in a digital world, but finance needs control. Traditional procurement processes kill creative momentum. The result: Shadow spending explodes as teams bypass official channels to meet deadlines.
Duplicate vendors: The same production company registered 10 different ways across 10 departments, each with different rates and terms. You’re leaving money on the table through missed volume discounts and inconsistent pricing for identical service.
Scale without structure: As content needs explode 10x, companies try to scale using spreadsheets and email—a recipe for financial disaster. Manual processes that worked for 100 vendors completely collapse when you’re managing 10,000 creators globally.

The $3B+ problem executives can’t see

Global content production spend is exploding, but financial visibility remains in the dark ages

Financial Oversight

Real-time spend dashboards: Monitor content production costs across all departments, projects, and geographies in real-time. Get instant alerts on budget variances and drill down from enterprise-wide views to individual invoice details with customizable dashboards tailored for different stakeholders.
Automated budget enforcement: Set spending limits by department, project, or user with multi-tier approval workflows that accelerate legitimate requests while blocking unauthorized spend. Configure automatic escalation paths and integrate with your existing procurement policies to maintain control without slowing down production.
Consolidated invoicing: Replace thousands of individual vendor payments with a single monthly invoice, reducing AP processing costs by 35-40%. Automated three-way matching ensures accuracy while our payment guarantee means you only pay for approved, delivered work that meets your quality standards.
Cost code allocation: Automatically allocate production costs to specific cost centers, campaigns, or business units for accurate financial reporting. Support complex allocation rules and ensure every dollar is properly attributed for departmental chargebacks and project profitability analysis.
Predictive spend analytics: Forecasting analyzes historical patterns and current pipeline to predict monthly and quarterly content spend. Receive early warnings about potential budget overruns and get recommendations for cost optimization based on similar projects across your organization.
Enterprise ERP integration: Integration with your legacy platforms including Oracle, NetSuite and others ensures your content spend flows directly into your general ledger. Pre-built connectors and APIs eliminate manual data entry while maintaining your existing chart of accounts and approval hierarchies.

Procurement & Compliance

Pre-vetted global vendor network: Access 50,000+ creative professionals and production companies already onboarded with verified tax documentation, insurance, and banking details. Skip the 6-week vendor onboarding process and start producing content immediately while maintaining full compliance with your vendor management policies.
Automated tax compliance: Ensure proper tax treatment and documentation across 192 countries with automated W-9, W-8, VAT, and GST collection and verification. Our compliance engine handles withholding calculations, 1099 generation, and cross-border payment reporting so you never face audit issues or penalties.
Standardized contracts: Replace hundreds of different vendor agreements with standardized, pre-negotiated contracts that protect your IP and limit liability. Customize terms by vendor tier, integrate your legal requirements, and execute digitally with built-in audit trails and automatic renewal management.
Vendor performance tracking: Rate and review every vendor interaction to build an institutional memory of quality, reliability, and value. Automated scorecards track on-time delivery, budget adherence, and quality metrics, helping you identify top performers and eliminate underperforming vendors across your entire organization.
Duplicate vendor visibility: Identify when the same vendor is registered multiple times across departments, consolidating records, and standardizing rates. Eliminate scenarios where marketing pays $5,000 while HR pays $3,000 for the same service from the same vendor.
