Complexity made simple: A look at OnAccount’s specialised Job Management feature

Date

In intricate industries such as Supply Chain & Logistics, the ability to effectively manage jobs — whether tracking costs, revenue or progress — is as essential as the tasks themselves. 

High volumes of transactional data, diverse operational databases, and multiple supplier-customer relationships are commonplace. And it’s true that traditional financial management systems just can’t keep up.

Businesses managing revenue or costs by job, operating on a per-job basis, need a straightforward, robust way of tracking progress and communicating with customers.

OnAccount makes keeping track easy with a specialised Job Management /  Work In Progress feature. 

Visibility into a job’s full lifecycle

With accounting software that centralises financial and operational data, you’ll find our focus on increasing financial visibility extends to dealing with pass-through costs or external party claims.

OnAccount’s job management feature is able to integrate with external databases to create detailed jobs by estimate, recording actual costs and variances.

An example of OnAccount’s Job Management feature in action is in the high-volume context of a global shipping company. Typically this will involve managing a vast array of shipments, each representing a unique job with its specific costs. Knowing what to charge and keeping track of costs is a key success factor. The sheer volume and variety of jobs demand a tool that can handle this complexity seamlessly. 

Enter OnAccount's job management feature.

Now you can track the full lifecycle of each job as a part of a digital ledger. What’s more, you can also attach all relevant documentation with customer statements using our statement docpack, providing a transparent view of pass-through and other costs. 

Once complete, jobs can be washed up and closed.

Improved efficiency and transparency can be gained by extending this feature to manage internal costs and project management. Whether it be keeping track of claims made to external parties, project analysis, or monitoring asset builds, the software captures all cost elements, providing a transparent, accurate view of project expenses.

Beyond simply managing jobs, OnAccount’s comprehensive feature set enable reliably and powerful ways to control and oversee your financial data in context.

Let OnAccount help you navigate the complexities of job management.
