Quote Generation & Management

You can quickly generate professional and accurate quotes directly within the Costing database and standardize your quoting process. Additionally, it helps to easily manage quote revisions and track quote statuses to improve your quick response to customer inquiries and increase your sales conversion rates.

Shop Order Management/Integration

The costing review database lets the user/manager submit, edit, and review shop order requests simply by filling in details stored in the database, such as part number, SO type, Quantity, etc. This helps to convert accepted quotes into customer orders within the organization. Furthermore, it manages all customer orders in one central location, tracks order progress, and links orders directly to cost data for improved job costing and profitability analysis.

Customer Order Tracking & History

The Costing software allows efficient management and maintains customer orders, reviews, edits, and enters new customer orders while providing a comprehensive history of all customer orders. In fact, it helps businesses quickly retrieve order details, track order status, and review past orders for repeat customers. Furthermore, managers gain better visibility into operations, and as a result, they can make faster, data-driven decisions.

Customer Management & Costing

Managing customer orders, quoting, and shop orders becomes seamless with the costing system. To begin with, when a new customer places an order, the system generates a quote according to their requirements. Afterward, once the quote is confirmed, a shop order request follows to continue the process. By doing so, the costing module actively handles the entire workflow of customer orders and quotations. Moreover, the system captures production costs for each job and connects shop orders directly to customer orders and quotes. As a result, businesses gain accurate insights into costs and improve operational efficiency.

Customizable Reporting & Dashboards

The custom reports dashboard creates and reviews custom reports such as shop order reports, price increase/decrease reports, total pricing reports, approval/denial times for shop orders, weekly and monthly totals, history, and more. In addition, it provides managers with flexibility to customize insights based on specific business needs. Moreover, you can select from a range of data points to build reports on product costs, profitability, sales performance, and other critical metrics. As a result, businesses gain actionable insights that drive smarter decision-making and operational efficiency.

Automated Email Notifications

The automated emails feature in calculation is designed to set up automated email notifications that keep stakeholders informed about each step in the costing process, such as customer orders, quotes, shop orders, and all other relevant information. In addition, it automatically sends order confirmations to customers, production status updates to internal teams, as well as quote follow-up reminders to sales representatives.

Efficiently Simplify Your Manufacturing Costing and Customer Records, and Shop orders

The manufacturing job costing software aims to standardize costing processes, shop orders, quoting, costing, expenses, customer records, and project management and enhance financial control by centralizing data and automating key workflows from initial customer orders to final production and reporting. Furthermore, it improves accuracy and efficiency across all operations.

How It Works (The Costing Process)

Our costing software streamlines the entire order lifecycle, starting from quote requests to production execution and delivery. Thus, this ensures complete visibility and control over job costing, profitability, and reporting.

#1 Customer Order: When a customer places an order or requests a quote, the system captures all necessary details and initiates a unique costing flow for the job. As a result, every order begins with accurate and complete information.
#2 Quote Generation: A detailed quote is automatically generated based on the customer’s requirements, materials, labor, and any other relevant cost factors. At the same time, the system ensures transparency by breaking down costs clearly for both managers and customers.
#3 Shop Order Creation: Once the quote is reviewed and confirmed, the system generates a shop order and sends internal notifications to begin the production process. Moreover, this ensures that production teams are aligned from the very start.
#4 Production Management: Production is carried out based on the approved shop order. The software manages and tracks the process to ensure alignment with job specifications. In addition, it provides real-time monitoring to quickly identify and resolve any issues.
#5 Delivery & Reporting: After production, the system tracks delivery status, calculates total job costs, and provides real-time profitability analysis. Therefore, finalized data is then compiled into comprehensive, customizable reports.
