Wennsoft Job Cost
was developed on the
premise of integrating
powerful accounting
functions while
providing project
managers with the
ability to utilize job
data and proactively
manage labor, materials,
equipment,
subcontractors and other
user-defined categories.
Additional built-in
benefits include billing
and accounts receivable,
change-order management,
contract administration,
union payroll, budgeting
and reporting. Designed
to rapidly adapt to
changing business
conditions, Job Cost
enables project-based
businesses and project
managers to track actual
and budget activity by
project, job and four
phases (phase, branch,
detail and subdetail) in
further detail while
easily tracking revenue,
expenses and
profitability.
Many Divisions – Single
Contract:
The Project Level Module
is designed for
companies with multiple
divisions working
together on a single
contract. It allows
project managers to
create a single contract
with multiple jobs and
provide project-level
costs, billing and
revenue that cross over
several work divisions
(e.g., electrical, HVAC
and plumbing). This
enables easy viewing of
the overall project and
its many segments. The
integration to Microsoft
Business Solutions –
Great Plains® financials
provides a top-to-bottom
view of the project
performance – from the
big picture down to a
snapshot of individual
activities within a
given job.
Rapid Access to
Information:
Project Manager's
Advisor Module gives
project managers rapid
access to job
information without
conducting lengthy and
time-consuming searches.
This allows the project
manager to make business
decisions based on
real-time information
and have a greater
impact and control over
the outcome of the job.
User-defined security
access can restrict
project managers to
viewing only their
assigned jobs, as well
as prevent or allow
forecast revisions and
change orders directly.
Additionally, project
managers may require
remote access to view
information, facilitate
changes and make
decisions. This can be
accomplished anytime,
anywhere via the
Internet with the ePMA
module.
Subcontractors:
Effectively managing
subcontractor agreements
can be a daunting task,
and unexpected
subcontractor costs at
job completion can
destroy margins and
erode working capital.
This module provides the
functionality to track
information such as:
-
Subcontractor
information
(insurance,
worker's
compensation
expiration
dates, draw
requests,
retention
requests and
certificate
expirations)
-
Change order
status tracking
for inclusion in
AIA billings
-
Drawings,
submittals,
documents and
other
contract-related
information
-
Payment control
when paid by
customer
(pay-when-paid)
The
Advanced Subcontractor
module provides
additional functionality
by allowing simple
management of a greater
volume of vendors and
subcontractors, and
introduces the ability
to add subcontractors to
a job during purchase
order entry. Track
documents such as change
orders, permits, proof
of insurance,
performance bonds,
certified payroll
reports and other
contract – related
information. Additional
functionality allows the
tracking and printing of
lien waivers.
Report and Estimate:
Accurate,
up-to-date information
is critical for making
profitable business
decisions. The system
report writers included
with Microsoft Great
Plains and Crystal
Reports customization
tools that allow quick
and easy creation of new
reports or modify any of
the hundreds included
with Job Cost. With
possibilities ranging
from simple user-defined
lists to sophisticated
custom analysis tools,
building reports is as
easy as pointing and
clicking on any field in
the database. Simplify
estimates by easy
importation of estimate
information into Job
Cost from your favorite
estimation package, to
use as the basis for the
original budget upon
award of the contract.
Invoicing:
Designed to control and
manage unbilled
receivables and create
invoices, Job Cost
provides shortened
billing cycles and
improves cash flow.
Built to support
multiple billing types
including time and
material, AIA, cost
plus, cost plus NTE,
fixed price, percentage
complete and scheduled
billings. In addition,
integration with the
Service Management
Series and Microsoft
Great Plains enables
single-point data entry.
Document Management:
This module provides a
practical and affordable
solution for organizing
and sharing documents.
Functionality allows
users to store, retrieve
and attach files of
virtually any format to
a job.
Expense Tracking:
A single point of entry
streamlines the
collection of labor and
laborrelated expenses.
Users can capture,
validate, track, review,
approve and post labor,
travel and employee
expenses to various
projects. The
information can also be
posted to the General
Ledger and Payroll
modules for processing.
An Internet-enabled
version (eTimeTrack)
extends this
functionality to mobile
and off-site employees.
Additional modules and
offerings include
Multicurrency
Management, ADP Export
and Microsoft Project
Integration.
