Job costing for SMEs isn’t as difficult as you’ve been led to believe
Many of our customers at APH are small and medium-sized businesses that work in project engineering, contract services and professional services. Often, they start talking to us because of a very specific problem that relates to the nature of their work – they’re struggling to accurately monitor the cost and profitability of projects. They struggle with preparing quotes for their customers and managing resources, time, staff, material issuing & purchasing on a job-by-job basis. Not only that, they struggle with monitoring a project’s profitability and reacting as demands and customer needs change.
