The problem
Project managers had no live view of what their jobs were costing. They requested a spend report from accounting, waited roughly two days, and received a version with pay-rate data stripped out — by which time the numbers were already stale.
What we built
- Started small: a single web page that showed a project manager every number on their job, live, straight from the company's ERP data.
- Grew it, one proven piece at a time, into a full operations platform: timesheets and expenses, job quotes, job costing, scheduling, and reporting for every type of user.
- Built for a workforce of veteran engineers and field staff — people who don't adopt new software unless it saves them time.
The result
- Project managers see spend in real time instead of waiting days
- Around 80 active users logging 800+ events every day
- One system of record for time, expenses, quoting and job cost
