Unleash your growth potential with Joblogic

Jobs can differ in size from small reactive works to larger projects in the service and maintenance industry. In this environment, job costing and profitability often get overlooked. When a manual management system is in place, it is very time-consuming to monitor the costs accrued for each job. Using software for job costing can make it easy to track costs against even the smallest of jobs. It can automatically feed time and costs into reports and invoices to help make the tracking and reporting process as seamless as possible.

Visualise Job Costs & Profitability Instantly

Job costing software is an ideal tool for understanding where your profit is generated. By using Joblogic, you'll be able to monitor the following:

  • Estimated costs: You can see the cost estimates broken down into each task.
  • Quoted costs: These can be easily integrated with quotes to build a clear picture of your quoted cost.
  • Actual costs: Monitor your actual costs in real time. This will be very useful in checking whether your field staff are quoting their jobs accurately.
  • Profitability: View the profit made on each job. This will help you to make more informed decisions and determine whether your quotes are too low or high.
Create cost rates and review timesheets

Step 1: Set Up Job Costing in Joblogic

It’s simple to set up job costing rules that accurately report on company spend and profits. You can create hourly cost rates against each engineer and review staff timesheets to apply a basic or overtime pay rate based on the time and day of the week. Joblogic also provides a full parts library that allows you to calculate the material costs for each job. With this information, you can easily determine the labour costs and percentage mark-ups on your materials for each job and customer.

Step 2: Automate Your Job Costing

Your company can save time by automating its job or project costing. No matter your size or requirements, Joblogic's software for small businesses and large enterprises can cater for you. The software can automatically calculate travel and labour costs for a job based on the times recorded by your field engineer on the mobile app. Parts and tools used by staff can also be recorded and priced against an individual job with their job costing app. Once this information is received in the office, managers can automatically see the job's overall cost and the customer's sales value. Profit and profit margins are also clearly visible on-screen. Providing they're happy with the above, managers can send an invoice to the customer immediately.

Step 3: Create Powerful Reports

By creating reports with job costing software, you’ll be able to easily visualise your results to make more informed business decisions. Joblogic offers a range of job costing reports which can be categorised by jobs, customers and geographic location. Our contract performance reports take all job costs and compare them with the total turnover for a contract. It also provides a breakdown of all quotes and planned maintenance which is especially useful when renewing contracts with customers and negotiating prices. Work-in-progress reports, which accrue costs against an ongoing job, and timesheet reports can also prove to be highly valuable. All reports within your job costing system are easily exportable to Microsoft Excel.
