The complete solution for firms that charge for the work done.

Whether the nature of your work is that of a tradesman such as a builder or plumber or a professional such as an accountant, architect or solicitor the requirements are very similar in that you need to control your activities and collect costs on a job by job basis. 

The Job-Man suite is focused on enabling all of the activities and costs for a specific job or group of jobs to be identified and therefore be pulled together as required for control, costing and invoicing purposes.

You can create job records that hold details of all of the expenditure incurred and resources consumed. So whether you have purchased materials or services or have subcontracted a task, or have spent internal resources such as time, telephone calls etc on the job the cost or charge can be recorded. 

You can see in an instant the 

• costs and charges already incurred 
• work already done 
• tasks that remain.

ESTIMATING and COSTING are two sides of the same coin so that in addition to doing costing and estimating you can compare the costs of the job against the estimate enabling you to see where your costs are not in alignment with what you thought they were. You can apply costs by time, by quantity, by weight or by any other quantifyable unit that you can define. You can apply cost parameters to any measurable quantity of parts so that you can see for example

• the profitability of any customer or job 
• the rolled up cost of the job at any point in the process
• the value of all your wip
