Brandintellé vs other marketing planning and spend tools
Most tools manage one part of marketing spend. Brandintellé governs all nine stages, from budget to impact, and works with the planning, procurement and ERP tools you already use.
Where each tool focuses
Every marketing dollar, euro or pound passes through nine stages. Here is where each tool puts its main focus.

Built for what happens after the plan
Agency estimates and POs

Proof before payment
Geo-tagged, time-stamped photos for on-ground work and TV airing checked against monitoring data.
Month-end accruals
Built automatically from work actually completed, in about a day instead of a week.
Invoice to ERP
Each invoice is checked against PO, estimate and proof, then posted to SAP in one click.
One platform across markets
Multi-currency
Budgets, POs and invoices in each market's currency, rolled up for group reporting.
Multi-language
Teams and vendors work in their own language.
Single sign-on
Log in with your company's identity provider.
Works with your ERP
Verified invoices post to SAP; planning and procurement tools stay in place.
Proven with enterprise marketing teams
Questions to ask any vendor
Take these into your next evaluation, including ours.
- Can it match each agency invoice against the approved estimate and the proof of delivery before payment?
- Can it prove an on-ground activation happened, with time and location, before the bill is paid?
- Does it build month-end accruals from work actually completed, not from estimates?
- Does it block a purchase order that would exceed the approved budget?
- Does it post verified invoices to your ERP and keep vendor and tax masters in sync?
- Do marketing and finance see the same live numbers?
