Tips for Accurate Tracking
Include All Costs
Don't forget to include:
- Base subscription fee
- Per-seat/user charges
- Add-ons and modules
- Overage charges
Choose the Right Billing Cycle
Select the actual billing frequency. If you pay annually, select "Annually" and enter the full annual cost. Tracktron will calculate the monthly equivalent.
Set Renewal Dates
Always set the renewal date if known. This enables:
- Renewal reminders
- Budget forecasting
- Cancellation windows
Assign Owners
Every subscription should have an owner—the person who:
- Justifies the expense
- Manages the vendor relationship
- Reviews usage and renewals
