Job Cost Software

As we all know, managers are usually responsible for not one but several projects at once. In addition to ensuring that deadlines are met and clients are satisfied, managers must document job costs. Because so much is happening at once in the business world, managers can easily forget to record a necessary emergency expense. Human error is unavoidable.

Unless job cost calculations are automated, you can be fairly certain your company has an unknown margin of error. Where do those forgotten expenses get captured? The only place they will show up is in the overall bottom line; even though all project budgets appeared to have been met, total profits might be less than expected. If your company uses Unanet's job cost software, on the other hand, all expenses will be documented under the appropriate projects.

Using Job Cost Software to Tighten Your Grip on Expenses

Unanet's job cost software can be integrated into your ordering system. Rather than ordering supplies online and waiting on paper invoices, you can place your orders and have them automatically charged to the appropriate project. Because Unanet software also documents labor expenses and calculates total job costs, there is basically no chance for human error. Managers can focus on what they do best, rather than worrying about administrative tasks.

In addition to minimizing human error, Unanet's software can significantly reduce unauthorized expenses. Using Unanet timesheets, managers can monitor employee and contractor hours to ensure people are not working unnecessary overtime. Since Unanet can be used to authorize travel and entertainment or any expense, these orders can be integrated into an ordering system. With all orders visible, unauthorized ordering of supplies can be minimized.
