JOB COSTING
How Job Costing Works
Capture
Parts and labor added to Service Orders are instantly recorded in the Job Costing Summary for live cost tracking.
Organize
Assign costs to customizable Job Cost Categories like Labor or Material using dedicated tabs for Change Orders, Milestones, and more.
Monitor
View real-time budget vs. actuals in the Financial Summary to track profitability and stay on target.
Analyze
Use historical job data to refine future quotes, improve margins, and drive smarter project planning.
Compare Estimated vs. Actual Costs Instantly
Live data from purchasing and shop-floor time clocks updates each project dashboard. Owners and PMs see material, labor, and profitability swings as they happen, not weeks later in financial statements.
Material Budgeting: Forecast & Plan Smarter
Generate a pre-bid bill of materials, flag long-lead items, and lock in pricing before issuing POs. Seradex’s cost engine keeps every estimate current even when suppliers raise prices.
Labor Budgeting: Stop Time-Driven Overruns
Every clock-in posts straight to the job-cost ledger, broken down by custom labor categories. Project managers instantly spot departments that are trending over budget and can reallocate resources on the fly.
One System—No Silos
Estimating flows directly into job costing; version history tracks every change; and all data stays in the same cloud platform, eliminating duplicate entry and costly mistakes.
Why Accurate Job Costing Matters
Most shops rely on disconnected spreadsheets and stale estimates that hide overruns until the job is finished. Seradex replaces manual tracking with automated feeds so decision-makers can react while there’s still time to protect margin.
Price with confidence
Build estimates that reflect true resource needs, not guesswork.
Protect profit
Compare planned vs. actual in real time and take corrective action before margins erode.
Data-driven decisions
Identify your most (and least) profitable product lines or services instantly.
Streamlined compliance & payroll
Automated cost capture reduces errors and audit risk.
