The Job Shop Costing Challenge

In job shop environments, every job is different. Standard costing methods don't work. You need a system that adapts to your reality.

The Problem

Quoting based on gut feel leads to inconsistent margins and lost jobs.

The Problem

You don't know which jobs made money until weeks after they ship.

The Problem

Setup costs and overhead get buried, making some jobs look profitable when they're not.
