Job Costing (JC)
Accredo’s Job Costing (JC) module is the pivotal module of the Accredo system for job-oriented businesses, whether you want to track costs associated with building or construction work, manufacturing, use of plant and machinery items, even vehicles.
Use JC to create quotes, estimates or budgets, then check actual costs against your projections to maintain an accurate up-to-date picture of how you are doing on every job.
Create invoices from JC, and monitor outstanding materials and costs for each job on a daily basis or more frequently as needed.
Find out where you made a profit (or where you didn’t) and work out how to improve your performance on the next job.
Let us tell you more about just some of the innovative features of Accredo’s JC module.
Get your facts straight
Get the job
You need to get the job before you can do the job. Use Accredo’s document designers to make your quote or estimate stand out from the rest with clear, concise information and a layout that supports your company image and branding.
Safeguard your secrets
Don’t give your competitors access to sensitive information such as unit prices or hourly rates. When you design your own quotes, estimates and job sheets in Accredo, you decide on the details to include or exclude, depending on who will see the document and what it is used for.
Keep data flowing in
Keep your job details up-to-date with minimum fuss and maximum efficiency. When you enter shipments in Accounts Payable (AP), you can transfer details directly into JC. Or import timesheet data from payroll systems such as COMACC and IMS, saving you time and reducing the likelihood of errors that may occur if you had to re-enter this data. Add Accredo’s Electronic Data Interface (DI) module to your system and import data from any source at all.
Keep invoices flowing out
As your jobs progress, send lines from JC directly to Accredo’s Invoicing (IN) module to create your invoices and maintain an accurate audit trail of each job in a single easy step.

Preparation is everything
Whether you are organising people or machinery for your jobs, use Accredo’s JC to check that all the required materials are available and quickly identify any missing items you need to follow up on in order to get the job done.
Monitor profits as you go
By the time job information gets to your General Ledger, it may be too late for you to address any mistakes in costing or billing. If your margins are too low, you may be losing money; too high and you may be losing out on jobs. Accredo’s JC module gives you an instant picture of the budgeted, actual and invoiced costs, turnover, profit margins and more for every job at any time, allowing you to identify problems and resolve them quickly, before they become disasters.
Make continuous improvements
Use Accredo’s JC analysis reports to measure and monitor the productivity of employees, equipment, vehicles or anything else that costs your business money in order to complete jobs. Report on the time spent by different staff on a particular job, the number of hours a certain piece of machinery was used on a job, the costs associated with a vehicle or any other criteria that will help you monitor your profits on a job-by-job basis and improve your processes to increase profits.
