How do you know?
Typically companies try to track costs and productivity with spreadsheets. That system does work although it may not be completely accurate and the same information may be entered many times. Often we estimate how long it took to run a job. Interruptions, equipment breakdowns, material shortages can distort our information. Various operators can achieve quite different results. To price jobs profitably you need to know your true total cost of production not “fuzzy” facts.
Proper management software will give you the accurate answers you need to manage your business.
Midnight by Virtual Systems can help you determine true costs, benchmarks, and makes pricing automatic. Estimates can be created quickly and turned into production orders with one click. It is completely customizable. Pricing can be adjusted automatically for high volume customers. Since this is a web based program you can access it from anywhere. You can give a customer a quote right in their office, get the OK and create a work order instantly. Equipment and other resources can be scheduled and accessed from any computer, tablet or smartphone. Midnight is a scalable application. As an organization grows and adds employees it becomes more important to have critical information on customers and jobs in one place.
