Job costing for a made-to-order manufacturer

Every job costed against its own materials, labour and overhead rather than an average.

The problem

Quoting relied on an average cost per unit that did not reflect what any particular job consumed. Unprofitable work was subsidised by profitable work and nobody could see which was which.

What we built

We built job-level costing that accumulates material issues, recorded labour and applied overhead against each job, so actual cost is comparable to the quoted price per job.

Why this customer is not named

Most of our customers allow the work to be described but not their name published. Where a customer has given permission, their name and testimonial appear here.

Independent accounts of our work are published by customers themselves on our Facebook reviews page.

Does this look like your problem?

If any of this is familiar, the first step is the same one this project started with: a free requirement study that ends in a written scope and a fixed price.
