Production

Where all the Work Becomes Reality

Production is where all the work from Sales and Estimating comes to reality.

Production has the, sometimes arduous, task of putting into practice all the theory from the quotation. The more information available from the quotation such as material requirement analysis and more importantly labour requirements for the contract and each bill item, will certainly aid this task.

Along with production tracking, purchase orders, time sheets, expense sheets, stock control and variations to orders, production are easily able to check that contracts remain on target to achieve a good profit.

Discover the features available for production.

Labour Comparison


As well as a labour comparison for each bill item, the system will give an overall labour comparison for the whole contract showing hours scheduled against those taken.


Purchase Orders


Creating a purchase order instantly posts a committed cost to the contract job costing. A purchase order can be placed to a supplier for items that are for different contracts with costs being booked accordingly.

Purchase orders may be placed for supplier items, sub-contract works or for plant hire items on the relevant type of purchase order.

Purchasing will be aware of all items that are currently on hire and when they are schedule to be off-hired.


Complete Stock Control


Using the Stores dashboard instantly shows which items are below minimum stock requirement. Gives a fast route to issue materials from stores to a contract, using FIFO (first in first out) stock is decreased and costs added to the contract job costing.

Contract Valuations


Required valuation dates may be set for a contract to ensure that no applications for payment are missed.

Completed documents may be issued as a Valuation or an Application For Payment.

On creating a valuation, you indicate the % complete of each bill item as quoted, or variation order added.


Variations to Orders


Ensure that all additional works are noted and claimed against the contract.

Variations are added in a similar manor and the same functionality as a quotation, allowing bill items to be created or re-used. Variations can be excluded from the contract until agreed by the client.

Deliveries received may be photographed and uploaded keeping a record should any goods have been damaged or wrongly delivered.
