Use the Job Costing window available through the Tools Menu to calculate the anticipated revenue of local service requests for an order. The purpose behind Job Costing is to provide an estimate of how much services cost the company before staff records revenue.
MoversSuite takes costing data assigned to an order through containers, personnel, and other expenses and uses this information to calculate estimated gross margin and profit or loss on an order. Users, such as dispatchers, can use the Job Costing data to assist in assigning crew, equipment, and materials on Local Services in a manner that contributes to optimizing revenue.
Personnel in charge of estimating and revenue can also access the Job Costing screen for and order to enhance their workflow targets.
