Giving accurate contract performance

Getting immediate job costing and accurate contract performance matters — and Contract Controller isn’t here to replace your accounts system, but to make it work harder. By handling job costing, purchase invoice authorisation, and sales invoicing directly, it removes the need for a stack of expensive add-ons, then hands everything over cleanly to your existing accounts package for the rest.

  • Enhances your existing accounts system rather than replacing it
  • Reduces reliance on costly add-ons for job costing and contract management
  • Manages job costing, purchase invoice authorisation, and sales invoice generation directly
  • Transfers cleanly to your accounts system for cashflow, VAT returns, and CIS

An instant overview


The moment you open the Accounts dashboard, you get a clear snapshot of where things stand — no digging through reports required.

  • All outstanding sales invoices.
  • Valuations / Stage Payment due to be claimed.
  • A live WIP view of all current contracts.

Complete job costing of contract


As soon as a purchase order is issued, its cost shows immediately as an order value and committed cost — so you always know what’s been spent and what’s still outstanding.

  • Estimated cost.
  • Committed cost.
  • Potential savings made.
  • Authorised costs.
  • Type of cost.

Specific contract item


Need the full picture on a single item? One click shows every cost connected to it, pulled together from across the system.

  • Materials from purchase orders.
  • Materials issued from stores stock.
  • Time sheets from employees who worked on the item.
  • Labour time comparisons.
  • Drawings and documents.

Purchase invoicing


Received purchase invoices are matched straight back to the original purchase order, so discrepancies are caught before payment goes out.

  • Checks invoice value matches order value.
  • Confirms delivery has been received.
  • Allows adjustment if the invoice is higher than the order — for delivery charges and similar.
  • Authorises for payment.

Sales invoicing


Sales invoices are quick to generate and come out as professional, print-ready or PDF documents — pulling from your existing quotes and orders rather than starting from scratch.

  • Imports items from the quote and any V.O.s.
  • Allows your own items to be entered directly.
  • Shows any MCD (Main Contractor’s Discount).
  • Links to the relevant valuation or application.
  • Includes payment details automatically.
