Improve Job Costing

Tom is managing several jobs and is having a difficult time staying on top of his labor & equipment costs for each job. His workers are supposed to clock in and out of each job site, but they often forget to do so and it throws his numbers off. He determined that his job costing numbers are off by as much as 10% due to this missing data. When he ran the calculations, it comes up to a staggering……

$3 Million dollars.

Tom can’t figure out how to allocate this money and it could be making some jobs appear to be more profitable than they actually are.

Tom then realized that he could use a telematics solution to track jobs site arrival and departure times. He could use the system to track the time that his vehicles enter and exit geofences to correct the missing time clock records. He figures that he can use the telematics data to properly allocate the missing $3 million dollars to the appropriate jobs.
