You carry the risk on every job.
You should be able to see where they stand.
The P&L tells you what the business did last quarter. It doesn’t tell you which of the six jobs running right now is quietly going backwards.
One project up to AU$1,000,000, with up to 25 tasks and subtasks, unlimited office users and three Mobile users. Full platform. No expiry — free until you start a second project. Consultation first, then we configure the account around your job.
What it costs to find out late
Only knowing after the job is done
The final number arrives with the last invoice, weeks after the last decision was made. Every job teaches you something you can no longer act on.
Relying on one person to hold the picture
Usually it’s you, or one commercial manager, holding four jobs in their head and a spreadsheet neither of you fully trusts. That’s a single point of failure with your margin behind it.
Winning work you can’t price against yourself
If you don’t know what the last three jobs of this type actually cost to deliver, the next tender is priced on a guess wearing a rate.
The position, without asking for it
Forecast and exposed margin
Per job and across the whole book. Nothing to chase and nothing to assemble.
Estimating fed by what happened
Actual cost per task from finished jobs sits behind the next tender, so the rate you price at is the rate the business carries.
One place to look
Budget, committed cost, actual cost and claims for each job in one place rather than three.
A record that survives an argument
Instructions, orders and claims dated and attributed as they happen. When a head contractor short-certifies, you’re arguing from the file rather than from memory.
Asked the way owners actually ask them
“I’ve got a good bookkeeper and a good accountant. What does this do that they don’t?”
They tell you what the business has done. This tells you what a job is going to finish at while it’s still running. Different question, different tool — and your ledger stays exactly where it is.
“How much of my time does this take?”
The first project is configured for you rather than handed to you. After that the office side is a normal week’s admin done in one place instead of four.
“Will my site blokes actually use it?”
Hours go in on a phone against the task they were spent on. It’s less work than a paper docket, not more. It’s the office side where the discipline has to hold, and that’s not site’s job.
“We’ve bought software before and it died in the first month.”
Almost always because nobody finished setting it up. That’s the reason the first project is built for you, on your break-up and your rates, before you commit to anything.
“I don’t want to rip out what we’re running.”
Then don’t. If your service and maintenance work runs well on what it’s on, leave it there. This is the project side.
“What does it cost?”
Pricing is set by the annual value of the projects you run, not by seats. There are five bands. Which one applies is a short conversation, and we’d rather have it after you’ve seen one of your own jobs in the system.
