Job Costing Software

For years, we sold Job Costing software to all types of contractors, from the highway heavy, steel fabricators, framing, and home builders to general contractors, from small to large. Our smallest client was billing $1,000,000 annually. Of course, that was when one million dollars was huge.

Now, with the cost of job costing software down to being reasonable for even the small contractor, no contractor should be without this software. 

Intergrated Job Costing Software

A good job costing software system is integrated into the other crucial modules of an accounting system. The complete system would start with an estimating system, and once the bid has been secured, the estimation should be able to be uploaded into the job cost module. The Job costing system should link into the payroll system as well as the accounts payable and receivable modules. If you have heavy equipment, there should be a module which tracks the hours spent on the job as well as the maintenance schedule for the equipment. 

Job Costing Payroll Software 

Once payroll hours and tasks are entered through payroll, that information flows through to the job costing system. As Invoices for materials and subcontractors are entered in accounts payables, those figures are also entered into the job costing, complete with the retained amounts. The accounts receivable also updates the job costing when invoices are cut for the various contracts. 

Total Job Costing Software Package

The bottom line is that the job costing has all the costing and income posted to the particular jobs. This gives you, the contractor, all the information, detailed job by job and phase by phase. A totally integrated job costing package gives you the black and white picture of your projects that you need for the complete financial picture of your business. There is no other tool that gives you the overall picture of what the health of your business literally looks like.
