Is This You?

Collecting direct labor time is still a handwritten process

Indirect labor costs seem excessive - but nobody knows why

It takes days or weeks to come up with the final cost of a job

Job costing is mostly guesswork due to poor data visibility

Actual costs regularly exceed estimates by more than 10%

You don’t know how much inventory you have or how much it costs

You can’t determine if margins are correct

You lose jobs to competitors who can track their costs in real time

Job costing is a historical rather than real-time process

Be better

Track direct labor down to the penny for each job and job sequence

Identify and eliminate wasteful indirect time

Estimate and quote with precision

Track material costs in real time as jobs move through the production process

Compare actual versus estimated costs while the job is in progress

Know exactly what you have in inventory and what it costs

Ensure margins are correct by knowing your true costs

Easily track and build costs for large projects that take months to complete

Drive cost out of your production process while maintaining margins
