Job Costing in Real-Time: How to Spot a Losing Project Before Friday

In the construction industry, timing is everything. Most contractors operate on a dangerous delay. They often don't realize a project is losing money until the week is over. By the time payroll is processed on Friday, the damage is already done. Consequently, you are left chasing lost profits. At mJob, we believe you should see your data as it happens.

The High Cost of "Lag Time"

Manual tracking creates a massive information gap. Supervisors collect paper timesheets and then wait for office entry. This lag prevents you from making mid-week adjustments. Furthermore, small budget leaks quickly grow into project-killing losses. Without real-time job costing, you are flying blind. You cannot manage what you cannot see.
