Job Costing

Timely, accurate and relevant job costing is key to any company’s growth and profitability. With it, day-to-day expenses can be monitored, along with instant access to relevant financial data in real time.

The heart of SAM Pro Enterprise is Job Costing. By designing an enterprise-wide solution centered around Job Costing, tremendous efficiencies are realized in producing the necessary “paperwork“ every business requires.

Every module posts in real-time to the Job Costing system, eliminating the need to re-enter or ”double-post“ any data. Payroll, Invoicing, Accounts Payable and Job Management information is all generated from job history, automatically providing the necessary ”paperwork“ to complete the job. Not only are key costs tracked as jobs progress, they are automatically distributed to the management team via ReportAnywhere.
