At COGSwatch we want you to spend less time managing your costs and more time running your business. COGSwatch is based on the 80-20 rule, meaning that 20% of your purchased items make up for 80% of your costs. The Eighty20 Wizard first identifies your Top 20% items purchased, then when entering your weekly invoices your focus is concentrated solely on these key items. These items are then entered into COGSwatch's 100% secure online database.
