07 — Cost Control
Budget
Set the number once, per job and per cost code. From then on every approved invoice is measured against it, and the jobs table shows budget, actual, variance, and budget used for every job side by side.
- CSI-style cost codes, or your own structure, applied consistently across every job.
- Lock a baseline and the projected-versus-actual curve tracks it, so you know whether a job is ahead of or behind its plan.
- A job with no budget is called out in the table, so nothing runs without a number to run against.

The Full Platform
Thirteen connected systems. One source of truth.
Invoice processing, cash flow, vendor tracking, CostMetrx, active job spend, field logs, budgets, actual breakdowns, inventory, equipment, cost per unit of work, and timesheets close the gap between what happens in the field, what the office approves, and what the books show.
General contractors & owners
See spend, margin, and exposure across every active job on one screen, with price-spike alerts before they reach your next order.
Project managers
Run the job by the numbers: budget and actual by cost code, updated the moment invoices land, with daily field logs and live job spend on the same screen.
Finance & back office
Close faster with every dollar coded: invoices auto-matched to jobs and cost codes, with a complete, exportable audit trail.
