Owner 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. Learn more at ?wwr?6vS6??G&7F?"?6???@???
