Time and Cost Tracking Enhancements

Proposed enhancements that would provide a more in-depth costing analysis of each work order. 

 

Allowing for specific cost items or custom labelled cost items to be added would significantly improve this module, rather than just adding and/or exporting them as "Other Costs".

Such as:

 

  1. Preliminary expenses (Architect, engineer, building consent, Insurance etc)
  2. Subcontractor cost/s
  3. Materials (Per material item)
  4. Consumables (nails, screws, adhesives)
  5. Tools & equipment (if hired or purchased)
  6. General expenses
  7. Labour
  8. Travel expenses 
  9. Transport/shipping expenses
  10. Rubbish or site waste

Other Proposed Enhancements: 

  1. Having a budgeting section in the cost tracking module to allow proposed costs within a work order.
  2. Option to show or add Goods and Services Tax (GST)
  3. The ability to export the cost information as a CSV and PDF
  4. Future linking of cost data to Sage Intacct.
  5. Future linking of cost data to PowerBi. 

Cheers

@M_Lovegrove thanks for the thoughtful post  

You can create custom time and cost types today!
 

(Settings --> Work Orders --> Custom Cost Types)

We support integrations into PowerBI and Sage as well. Reach out to your Account Manager and Customer Success Manager for additional assistance with those. 

I am finding that from a data standpoint, this program could do more, even acting as a sort of timesheet/time log. I personally think it would be very beneficial to have an option to add time by “time”, as in, Jo was on site from 8:15 am to 9:24, rather than just the option to say he was there for 1 hour and 14 minutes….from a standpoint of managing a team of workers, this could also help me track where they were based on what they were assigned. And just a basic “cost report” not vs anything...would be nice. Like i just want to invoice a location for the time and parts we used that week, for instance.
