Management Software How YOU Want It e have spent the last few months talking about management software being flexible. No two operations are exactly the same, so why should your software be the same? Our team has built TrueBuild® Job Management from the ground up with adaptability at its core. From the very basic to the extremely complex, we have you covered. Single jobs or large projects with multiple deliveries are handled with ease. We wanted flexible software that is easy to use and gives you time to build more, and that’s exactly what we delivered.

All component manufacturers think that their method of calculating labor “works,” but are they really doing their best? Over the years, there have been countless methods used to calculate labor, from the very simplistic to the most extremely complex. As a component manufacturer, you are selling the value you are adding to raw materials. You are simply selling your shop time. The labor calculation, and possibly more importantly the verification of that calculation, is the variable that most likely determines the level of profitability after a job is complete. Our team has spent countless hours discussing the possible ways a user could calculate labor – and that enabled us to build an interface that is not only flexible but very easy to understand.
You might be asking, “How can I prove my labor scheme?” The answer is: use the right tools! We have built powerful analytical tools that allow a fabricator to import captured labor data or simply enter labor data manually. Imagine if you could enter your actual timeclock data into your management software and instantly see if you accurately priced the work you built that week – that’s what you should expect from your software. Easy to read and completely customizable dashboards and reporting should allow you to analyze estimated versus actual at a job level, a project level, or even across a user-defined period of time. These tools allow a fabricator to dial in those settings and prove that their method of calculating labor is accurate Continued next page
