Job costing & production control

The starting point

Quotes lived in word processor files, job cards on the floor and costs in the accountant's spreadsheet. By the time a job was costed it was finished, so the margin was known only after the money had gone.

What we built

• Quoting with costing sheets that convert straight into a job card
• Labour and material capture at the bench, on the floor or on site
• Work-in-progress valuation that updates as costs land
• Margin reporting per job, per customer and per product family

What it delivers

• Live WIP valuation and per-job margin analysis
• Labour and material capture at the workbench
• Quote-to-invoice without re-typing

The outcome

Jobs are costed while they are still running. Unprofitable work is spotted early, quoting improves against real history, and month-end reconciliation shrinks to a review.
