Frequently Asked Questions

Weissr Capex is the only end-to-end system that digitizes the entire capital allocation process and that seamlessly manages Capex strategy, capital budgeting, and Capex management – all in one platform. Our Capex software empowers organizations to prioritize the right projects, execute them effortlessly, and continuously monitor progress with post-completion reviews and actionable insights.

The Weissr Capex process is divided into three main parts:

• Capex strategy – where we define the strategy and set the strategic priorities.

• Capital budgeting – which focuses on planning and aligning the portfolio of projects with the strategic priorities.

• Capex management – where projects are registered, approved, executed, and reviewed post-completion.

We strive for a smooth and customer-friendly implementation process. Our dedicated customer success team supports you at every stage, adapting the Capex system to your existing processes, so you can start using our Capex software with minimal disruption. It begins with defining a project, followed by configuration based on customer needs, an acceptance phase to review and fine-tune the configuration, hands-on training, and finally, the go-live. After the go-live, our customer success team will be at your side ready to assist.

The time horizon for a typical implementation adopting an ERP integration normally spans three to four months. This timeframe ensures you have time for internal alignment and other necessary preparations.

Capex and Opex are often managed separately using disconnected tools, which can lead to inconsistent reporting and poor decisions.

Weissr Capex helps you track, manage, and analyze both Capex and Opex in one unified platform, ensuring every expenditure aligns with your financial strategy and capital budgeting process, while staying compliant with company policies and saving time.

Effective project portfolio management starts with setting clear priorities to ensure every project supports your long-term financial strategy. Too often, companies treat their project portfolios with various Excel sheets, siloed information, and manual work, resulting in inefficiencies, missed opportunities and destroyed company value.

Weissr Capex solves this by providing a purpose-built solution for your Capex project portfolio and giving you full visibility into how your portfolio of capex projects performs. This is achieved by having all Capex projects within the same solution, enabling real-time financial analysis and automated project tracking.

However, without a well-defined Capex strategy, even the most efficient Capex management tool can’t prevent you from investing in the wrong project portfolios. Our platform ties strategic portfolio planning directly to your capital budgeting process, so you always know which projects justify funding.

Many companies still rely on outdated Capex processes, with information scattered across disparate systems and spreadsheets, as well as lacking support for informed decision making. Today, digitalization is on top of almost every company's agenda, however, digitalization of the Capex and approval process is lagging even for reputable companies. These companies still rely on emails for approvals, which, in combination with siloed data and manual work, makes the Capex approval process slow and inefficient.

With Weissr Capex’s all-in-one Capex solution, you can manage all your Capex projects in one place. With real-time data, full transparency to each project’s status, and streamlined workflows, we eliminate bottlenecks, so you immediately see which requests await approval. Our structured approach ensures fast, data-driven decisions without sacrificing accuracy or quality, helping you speed up the Capex approval process and keep your projects moving forward.

Ensure your Capex request includes clear objectives and detailed financial justifications that align with your overall financial strategy and the capital budgeting process. Include all relevant information, engage the appropriate decision-makers, and strictly follow your company’s policies and guidelines. Keeping everything transparent and centralized ensures that everyone sees the same data and understands how each request fits into your Capex strategy.

Avoid evaluating projects solely based on individual KPIs like short payback periods, high NPV, or IRR. While these metrics may seem attractive, they often favor initiatives that strain cash flow, ignore interdependencies, and overlook long-term trade-offs.

Weissr Capex guides you through best practices with structured submission templates and automated checks. This built-in framework helps Capex project managers and reviewers validate each request promptly and accurately, ensuring that every proposal supports long-term financial goals.

Many other tools on the market are specialized in addressing parts of the Capex process, such as basic tracking or budgeting, but lack full coverage within a single system. At the same time, ERP platforms like Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle address a wide spectrum of organizational needs and excel at integrating and streamlining core business processes across departments. However, these ERP systems often cannot meet each organization’s unique wishes without a significant investment of time and extensive customizations.

Weissr Capex, by contrast, is a purpose-built, all-in-one Capex software that enables the flexibility and scalability needed to satisfy every organization’s specific requirements. It is the only solution that brings Capex strategy, Capital budgeting, and Capex management together under one umbrella:

• Capex strategy – where we define the strategy and set the strategic priorities

• Capital budgeting – which focuses on planning and aligning strategic priorities

• Capex management – where projects are registered, approved, executed, and reviewed post-completion

Many companies evaluate projects solely on individual KPIs like short payback periods, high NPV, or IRR. While these metrics can look attractive, they often favour initiatives at non-competitive sites, strain cash flow, and ignore interdependencies between decisions.

Optimizing your Capex strategy means moving away from isolated project reviews to instead adopting a holistic perspective focused on maximizing the company’s overall cash flow. This approach gives you a clear view of where to allocate capital most effectively and ensures every investment supports long-term value creation.

Weissr Capex helps organizations gain that perspective through a structured decision process. It starts with defining a common baseline, then exploring tactical improvement options such as debottlenecking, capacity upgrades, or site closures. These are combined into strategic alternatives, which are automatically evaluated and ranked based on total cash flow impact. The best alternative is then formally approved as the Capex strategy — which guides both capital budgeting and project execution to ensure investments create maximum value. Over time, this strategy is continuously reviewed and refined to stay aligned with changing conditions and new opportunities.

With Weissr Capex, you’ll establish a cashflow-maximizing Capex strategy that you can continuously refine and seamlessly integrate with your capital budgeting and Capex management processes. Once your Capex strategy is optimized and connected to these workflows, your capital allocation decisions will be both data-driven and fully aligned with your long-term business objectives.

Many companies still rely on outdated Capex processes, especially for capital budgeting, where information is scattered across disparate systems and spreadsheets, hindering transparency and informed decision-making. Despite digitalization and atomization being a top priority for most organizations, Capex processes often lag behind. Relying on Excel sheets to collect Capex needs introduces version control issues and questionable data quality, making the capital budgeting process slow and inefficient.

Effective capital budgeting moves you away from error-prone spreadsheet checks and time-consuming manual tasks. Instead, it enables your team to focus on value-adding activities, like in-depth analysis and delivering actionable insights to decision-makers.

Weissr Capex addresses these challenges with an all-in-one Capex solution that ensures you always work with up-to-date information and connected workflows. You can quickly build one or multiple capital budgeting scenarios, dramatically reducing administrative overhead and freeing your finance team to concentrate on analysis and strategic guidance.

Capex management alone doesn’t improve your Capex strategy. At Weissr, we believe you must establish a clear Capex strategy first; this strategy then guides both your capital budgeting and Capex management processes.

That said, a digitized and effective Capex management process is essential for reinforcing your Capex strategy. By keeping the latest strategic information and guidelines at hand during every project approval, you ensure that only initiatives aligned with your Capex strategy move forward. This approach prevents funding of projects that don’t deliver long-term value and keeps your investment decisions focused on your strategic goals.
