Tom needs visibility into the whole organization to make sure no important
decisions are delayed, impacting profitability.
When Tom began his business, he had
his arms around every facet: estimating,
accounting, production, and analysis. He
was everywhere—on the job site meeting
with clients, and crunching numbers at
the office. As the business became more
successful, he hired more people. He used
to intuitively know the status of every job,
but now that the work is delegated across a
team, he may not know what (if any) profit is
made until a final invoice is submitted.
The company’s generic off-the-shelf
accounting software was fine when
business was simpler. With business
growth, the need to quickly get key
information became greater. Tom became
frustrated because he couldn’t easily see
the current costs of each job. He also
knew business growth could hide real job
profitability. Whenever his bookkeeper
assembled and created cost reports for
him, they would often be too late to make
timely adjustments on the job if costs were
rising too fast. He also couldn’t get the
full cost details on completed jobs to be
certain that the next bid reflected the profit
potential he knew was possible.
Sage 100 Contractor was the
turning point.
When his company started using Sage
100 Contractor, Tom was able to access
all of the business information from one
place, and best of all, it was current and
accurate—across accounting, estimating,
scheduling, project management, job
cost, and service management.
Now he can view many reports on an
at-a-glance dashboard that show him
up-to-date cost information on one job
or group of jobs, so he knows where costs
are occurring from the start. He also sees
job profitability, cash flow, work in
progress, and profit and loss statements
and can make more informed decisions on
a moment’s notice.
Improved communications unite
the team.
When he meets with customers, lenders,
subcontractors, or other team members
Tom also has mobile access to key project
status information and project documents
through his smartphone or tablet using
Sage Construction Anywhere. Tom still
makes a point to visit job sites often, but
now he’s better prepared to ask the right
questions and raise the right issues while
he is on the move.
