Know what a job actually cost — labor, materials, and all
A job that looked profitable on the estimate often is not once labor hours and materials are counted. Job costing attributes every cost to the job that incurred it, so margin is measured rather than assumed.
What job costing tracks
- Labor hours from timesheets, attributed to the job
- Materials and vendor bills tied to the work order
- Estimated cost against actual cost
- Margin per job, per technician, and per customer
- Roll-up into financial reporting and analytics
Useful on both sides of the job
For a service pro, job costing is how you learn which work types and which customers are actually worth taking. For a property manager, the same data shows what maintenance really costs per unit — which is the input to a repair-or-replace decision.
Frequently asked questions
Does labor time flow in automatically?
Yes. Timesheet hours attribute to the job, so labor cost is captured from actual clock-in and clock-out rather than estimated after the fact.
Can I see margin per customer?
Yes. Costs roll up by job, technician, and customer, and feed the deeper analytics and financial reports.
