Contrary to popular belief, the project engineering sector is a whole different beast to the traditional manufacturing environment. It is made up of a diverse range of businesses including industrial machine manufacturers, and those who deal with conveying equipment, food machinery, refrigeration, heating/ventilation equipment, elevators and turbines. It’s understandable then that the needs of those working in project engineering are some of the most diverse and wide reaching around.
Whether in the design, manufacture, installation or ongoing service stage of a commercial project, those businesses working in the project engineering industry will face a set of unique challenges that must be overcome with specially formulated solutions.
One of those challenges is job costing. Historically, both MRP and ERP software systems have been developed for businesses involved in traditional manufacturing, not project engineering. This left the latter sector cast adrift without adequate software to service their diverse range of requirements.
This is just one of the reasons we were spurred on to offer fully integrated job costing solutions powered by SAP Business One. More than just simple payroll software, SAP Business One ERP software includes key features like:
– Customisable job types, statuses, categories and analysis codes
– Web based timesheet entry
– Resource and retention management
– A flexible billing system with pro-rata and under/over recovery
– Contracts and milestone billing
– Project expenses approval workflow
– Service call integration for advanced management of service jobs
– Bulk and contract job invoicing
– Drag and drop scheduling of staff and resources
– Comprehensive reporting options with crystal clear reports
With so many different sub-sectors resting under the umbrella of project engineering, this comprehensive set of features has positively impacted all of our SAP Business One customers and seen us become a leading job costing software supplier.
We believe that modern business software solutions should reflect, integrate and grow with your business, which is why our job costing software also caters for external users, creates recurring invoices and service calls and allows you to set up purchase requisitions. Each and every feature is designed to help boost efficiency and productivity.
