Job costing
Knowing how you’re doing on a given job—and being able to identify the “problem jobs” at a glance across all your open jobs—can help to ensure that you stay out of trouble and continue to deliver on-time and on-budget. Many contractor business software or accounting software programs can tell you how you did at the end of the job, and others can help you budget. But how many can tell you both, and, more importantly, tell you how you’re doing mid-stream?
Knowify merges the concepts of project management and job costing, providing real time, dollars-and-cents insights into job and business performance.

Powerful reporting
Knowify brings job costing full-circle by helping you manage job costs throughout the life cycle of a project. When a job is in the estimating phase, you can put together precise cost estimates with itemized material, labor, and subcontractor budgets. Then once the job kicks off, Knowify’s fully integrated timekeeping, purchase orders, and more will enable you to track progress against your budgets in real time. When the job is complete, Knowify will give you project profitability data based on revenue collected and expenses incurred, and will give you powerful reporting tools to look across your jobs to see where you performed well and where you did not.
You will never look at job costing the same way again. This is business intelligence reimagined for the modern contractor—your estimating software, construction management software, and invoicing software rolled up into one!
Actionable, immediate data
Knowify’s job management tools give you lots of actionable information, including things like the ordered and received status of your materials. Only receive part of a purchase order? If you have deadlines to meet, that might require an immediate follow up: maybe something’s back ordered, or there was mix-up at the supplier. No matter the case, Knowify will let you track issues like these directly in the project plan so you can make better, more timely decisions.
