System Requirements Overview
Running our expense categorization software requires careful attention to hardware specifications and network capabilities. We've learned through extensive client deployments that meeting these requirements isn't just about minimum specs – it's about ensuring your team can work efficiently without system bottlenecks.
-
Processing Power RequirementsMinimum Intel i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor. Our categorization algorithms process thousands of transactions simultaneously, so multi-core performance directly impacts your workflow speed.
-
Memory Specifications8GB RAM minimum, 16GB recommended for enterprises processing over 10,000 monthly transactions. Memory usage scales with data volume and concurrent user sessions.
-
Storage RequirementsSSD storage strongly recommended with 50GB available space. Database operations benefit significantly from solid-state drive performance, especially during bulk imports.
-
Network ConnectivityStable broadband connection with 10Mbps minimum upload speed. Cloud synchronization and real-time categorization updates require consistent connectivity.
Component | Minimum Requirement | Recommended | Enterprise Level |
---|---|---|---|
Operating System | Windows 10 / macOS 10.15 | Windows 11 / macOS 12+ | Windows Server 2019+ |
Browser | Chrome 90+ / Firefox 88+ | Chrome 100+ / Edge 100+ | Enterprise browser policies |
Display Resolution | 1366 x 768 | 1920 x 1080 | Dual monitor support |
Security Requirements | Standard user account | Updated antivirus | Enterprise security suite |
Database performance becomes particularly important when you're categorizing expenses for multiple entities or handling year-end processing. We've seen businesses struggle with insufficient RAM during tax season when processing volumes spike dramatically.
Mobile compatibility extends to tablets running iOS 14+ or Android 10+. Field staff often use tablets for expense capture, though the full categorization interface works best on desktop systems.
