Know where every rand actually goes.
Track and allocate every expense across unlimited cost centres — from mileage to teabags — so you know precisely where your money goes, not just that it went.
If you can only see what your business spent in total, you can't see what's actually driving the cost. Bluubin lets you track and allocate income and expenses across unlimited cost centres — from mileage to teabags — so you know exactly where your money goes, not just that it went.
Split any cost across the cost centres it belongs to, budget at cost-centre level, and get a true picture of what each department, branch or project costs to run. There's no cap on how many you create and no per-cost-centre fee, so your structure can be as detailed as the business actually is.
For a South African business running multiple branches, departments or projects under one company, that detail is the difference between a profit-and-loss you can act on and one you can only file. See which parts of the business earn their keep and which quietly bleed cash, and back every budgeting and cost-cutting decision with real figures instead of a hunch.
Unlimited Cost Centres
Create as many cost centres as your business needs and allocate income and expenses to each. There's no cap and no per-centre fee, so you can mirror your real structure — every branch, department, project or vehicle — rather than flattening it to fit the software.
Allocate Down to the Detail
Split a single cost across the cost centres it belongs to, right down to the small stuff, giving you a true picture of what each part of the business costs to run. Nothing gets lumped into a vague 'general expenses' bucket that hides the real story.
Clearer Decisions
When you can see income and spending by cost centre, you can spot what's working, trim what isn't, and price your work with confidence. The numbers point to the decision instead of leaving you guessing.
Budget at Cost-Centre Level
Set budgets per cost centre and track them against actuals in real time, so overspend in one branch or project surfaces early — while you can still do something about it — rather than at year-end.
