Estimating
|
|
|
Providing a quote to your prospective
customer quickly is part of what helps you win the business.
Accurately calculating the cost of the job before determining your
selling price is what keeps you profitable. With the JobOps
Product Configurator and the ability to copy from similar estimates or
completed jobs, it is possible to quickly determine the detailed cost
of material, labor and outside labor without sacrificing the response
time needed to get the quote to your customer.

Orders
|
|
|
If you offer custom products or
services, then the difficulty of how to fulfill that order is very real
to you. JobOps combines the steps of entering the sales order and
creating the work order in a simple method that eliminates having to
enter this information twice. Better yet, if the order is from a JobOps
estimate, then JobOps can convert the quote to an order without
entering anything new into the system. Even better yet, your
customer can use the Product Configurator on-line to enter their own
custom orders!

Job Planning
|
|
|
Job Planning is that important step
between when you receive an order and when you begin the work for the
job. JobOps smooths this transition by automatically notifying
the group responsible for checking the order for accuracy before
releasing the job for work so that mistakes do not eat away at expected
margins. If changes are necessary, they can be tracked so that
when the job is finished, you will be able to see the original
estimate, revisions made by the planners, and also the actual costs
that were incurred.

Purchasing
|
|
|
Having materials available when
needed is critical to meeting the planned work schedule.
Overstocking raw materials may eliminate shortages, but is very
costly. JobOps automates the purchasing process by creating a
list of everything you need, consolidating materials from multiple jobs
into a single PO and automatically creating the PO to your primary
vendor using your price breaks. Each material item on the PO will show
the date that the job needs it. When the materials are received,
they are received directly to the jobs they were ordered for.

Scheduling
|
|
|
On-time deliveries! In a
make-to-order environment, you need to figure out how to ship on time
with limited resources. When the schedule is overloaded, the two
options today are overtime or late deliveries. With JobOps
Enhanced Scheduling, jobs are loaded into your schedule per your
requirements – backward from the due date, forward from
today’s date, infinitely or finitely. The graphical
schedule board alerts you to potential problems and provides
“what it?” and “drag’n’drop” tools
to let you correct the capacity issues without creating new scheduling
conflicts.

Costing/Tracking
|
|
|
Do your customers ever call to see if
their job will be done on time? Does management want to see potential
cost overruns before the job is already done? Is your inventory
count inaccurate because materials were issued to a job, but not
recorded until the job is finished? JobOps provides for real-time
collection of labor and material usage. Using bar-codes or Internet
access, this information immediately updates job costs and completion
status. Management can have alerts by e-mail for cost overruns
and customers can see the status of their job on-line!

Field Service
|
|
|
Field repairs and services offered by
your company require quick response times to service calls as well as
being able to track time and materials against revenue. JobOps
unique Dispatch Board (along with standard JobOps Job Management
capabilities to track labor, parts, and warranties) makes simple work
of offering contracted maintenance, preventative maintenance and
creating new service tickets. It also provides for the unique
billing requirements of service – warranted at no cost, exception
billing, fixed billing rates, contracted hourly billing rates, and
billable expenses.
