CAPEX Review

Deloitte’s AI-Driven CapEx Management Solution automates and optimizes the capital expenditure lifecycle. Intelligent agents validate requests, track budgets, standardize ROI analysis, assess risks, recommend alternatives, manage approvals, prioritize portfolios, monitor project execution, support vendor selection, automate capitalization, and review post-implementation results—which can enable smarter, faster, and compliant CapEx decisions.

Deloitte’s AI-Driven CapEx Management Solution transforms the capital expenditure process by automating and enhancing request submission to post-implementation review. The solution begins with AI pre-validating CapEx requests for completeness and accuracy, confirming all required project details, costs, and justifications are provided. Budget availability is tracked by category and entity, eliminating manual lookups and minimizing over-commitment. ROI calculations are standardized and enriched with sensitivity analysis, providing consistent and robust investment evaluations. AI validates business case assumptions against market benchmarks and similar projects, flagging unrealistic estimates and improving decision quality. Multiple investment alternatives, such as lease versus buy or outsourcing options, are modeled and compared, with AI recommending an approach based on cost, timing, and strategic fit. Risk assessment is quantified using historical data and Monte Carlo simulations, providing objective insights into technical, market, and execution risks. Approval routing is dynamically managed, with AI handling escalations and determining compliance with approval matrices and thresholds. Portfolio prioritization leverages multi-criteria analysis to optimize project selection based on strategic alignment, ROI, resource constraints, and dependencies. Once approved, project progress is continuously tracked, with AI flagging variances from plan and supporting proactive management. Vendor selection is enhanced through objective scoring of proposals, capabilities, and terms,. Asset capitalization is automated, with AI determining compliance with accounting policies and proper tracking of useful life and depreciation. Finally, post-implementation reviews are systematically conducted, comparing actual results to projected benefits and capturing lessons learned to improve future estimates. By orchestrating the CapEx lifecycle, Deloitte’s solution helps drive efficiency, transparency, and better investment outcomes for organizations.
