Work Orders make your business easy, efficient, and profitable. Keep track of your dispatch board, generate quotes for customers and easily convert them into customers. In this blog post, we'll explore 5 reasons you need work orders in your construction accounting software.
1. Recording Work Performed
Work orders are the best way to keep track of what work is performed on a job. Whether you're billing your customer, or getting reimbursed for your own supplies, having a record of the work you've done will help you manage costs and revenue.
2. Pricing Jobs Correctly
Pricing jobs correctly is a challenge with any construction accounting software, but it's especially difficult if you don't have work orders. Without work orders, you'll need to rely on separate pricing sheets or scribbled notes to determine what was done on each job. This can result in missed charges and mistakes that can cost you money!
3. Submitting Quotes Easily
You'll never miss an opportunity again if your construction accounting software includes work orders! When a customer calls about a project, just pull up the quote that was created when the project was first received and send it off without missing a beat! If you need to update the quote because of changes in costs, it's easy to do.
4. Managing Projects Easily
You'll be able to easily keep track of different projects within your construction accounting software by using work orders! You can even assign jobs to different employees so everyone knows who is responsible for which project.
5. Creating Invoices Quickly and Easily
Invoicing your customers is easier when you have work orders in place! You can easily create an invoice by pulling up the appropriate work order and filling in the details. Your customer will appreciate getting a detailed invoice that shows exactly what they're paying for, rather than a vague list of items with prices added on.
In conclusion, adding work orders to your construction accounting software is imperative. Work orders will allow you to keep track of your projects more easily, manage your employees more effectively, and invoice your customers accurately.
