But this approach is not without friction: engineers balk at submitting timesheets, managers question the accuracy of the data, and accountants worry about justifying reported values to auditors. For many, accounting for capitalized work becomes a time-consuming slop.
Leverage your existing engineering data to automate Capitalization
Every day, engineering teams generate a goldmine of data across tools like Jira, GitHub, and Azure DevOps. Allstacks taps into this stream of developer activity to build a comprehensive understanding of what engineers are working on. It uses the structure already present in issue tracking tools to identify capitalizable work.
Rather than relying on clunky timesheets or chasing manual updates, Allstacks connects to your existing tool stack and handles the heavy lifting. It translates raw engineering activity into structured, audit-ready reports—without developers logging a single hour. That means engineering stays focused, finance gets accurate data, and both teams move faster.
This real-time automation isn’t just smart—it’s scalable. As teams grow and projects expand, Allstacks keeps pace, making capitalization smoother, faster, and far more reliable.
Tracking your work is a strategic advantage and not just compliance
Automating capitalization ensures compliance, but the value of tracking your investment goes far beyond audits. Engineering managers need to make sure that their actual investment matches their roadmap plan and that their team is correctly resourced to accomplish the company’s goals. The real-time visibility that Allstack provides clearly shows if the team has capacity to build new features or if their time is consumed maintaining existing ones. That insight leads to better decisions, smarter budgeting, and stronger alignment between engineering and finance.
At the end of the day, it’s about maximizing every hour and every dollar. Allstacks helps you do that without spreadsheets, without friction, and without pulling your team off mission-critical work.
Some real-world results
Take Enverus, a leading energy analytics company, for example. Before implementing Allstacks, their accounting manager described the process as “very manual and time-intensive.” Managers had to carve out several days a month to gather and provide data. Using Allstacks’s Software Capitalization, reporting the process became automated and timesheets were a thing of the past. Manual verification was no longer necessary, and the team no longer had to chase down managers for input.
