Job Costing
Live margin on every job - from estimate to cash, without the spreadsheet
What this solves
Problem 1
Estimated margin is agreed at quote stage but not tracked once the work starts
Problem 2
Variations and retentions are managed separately from the live job position
Problem 3
Invoice readiness is unclear because finance cannot see evidence and cost status together
Core features
Estimated vs actual live
Labour, materials, subcontract vs budget in real time.
Variation tracking
Extras captured, approved, added to the invoice.
Retention management
Retention amounts tracked, release dates flagged.
Evidence-driven invoicing
Jobs invoice only when completed and evidenced.
Xero sync
Invoice data flows to Xero - no re-keying.
Labour cost tracking
Actual hours x rate vs budgeted labour per job.
