Job Costing Module (JCM)
The Job Costing Module is designed for businesses that require detailed control over labour, materials, expenses, and profitability throughout the lifecycle of a job. Built around real-world job costing requirements, the module provides complete visibility from the initial quotation and approval process through to scheduling, production, delivery, and final invoicing.
The module enables businesses to create structured workflows using Bills of Materials (BOMs), track time and labour costs against individual jobs, manage checklists, and monitor progress in real time. Integrated job scheduling provides visual resource planning through drag-and-drop Gantt charts, while asset management and site information ensure teams have access to the information required to complete jobs efficiently.
Comprehensive costing and invoicing options allow businesses to invoice based on job progress percentages, actual usage, or completed milestones. Detailed tracking of deliveries, collections, materials, labour, and expenses ensures every cost is accurately allocated and recovered. By comparing quoted costs to actual job performance, businesses gain greater control over profitability, productivity, and return on investment.
