From Chaos to Control - Episode 8

And so the first component, really, if we want to just quickly give an idea of how the tooling functions and what it does, as most of you know, if we look at services, so this is a bill, in essence, just wait for it to load. If we look at bills, there's just thousands of lines of line items and they may have some description against them. Most of them don't have a description, some of them have a line item cost, some of them won't have a line item cost. And this is just a good example of what that looks like.

And so the platform provides its own smart tagging.
