Contractors
Job cost you can trust, progress billing without the spreadsheet.
Every purchase line, supplier bill and hour carries a cost code, so the job cost report is always current. Change orders move the budget and the contract, pay applications bill progress with retention, and RFIs and submittals stay with the project.
Problems it solves
- Job cost assembled in spreadsheets weeks after the fact
- Change orders approved in e-mail and lost at billing time
- Pay applications re-typed from the schedule of values
- Supplier bills and field hours never tagged to the job
- Retention tracked by memory
Workflows
How a contractor runs on Fritech ERP
Set up the job
Cost codes with budgets, a schedule of values, a work breakdown with dependencies and a critical path, and the team with allocations.
Learn moreTag every cost
Purchase order lines, supplier bills and time entries carry the cost code; the job cost report shows budget, changes, committed, actual and billed per code.
Learn moreManage changes
Change orders with per-code budget deltas and a contract delta, approved from an RFI; submittals with review decisions.
Learn moreBill progress
Pay applications with a G703-style continuation sheet and retention; approval creates a draft invoice in receivables.
Learn moreWatch earned value
Earned value, S-curve and a project cockpit with contract, committed, actual, billed, paid, retention and margin.
Learn moreService what you built
Installed equipment becomes a service asset with warranty, contracts and dispatch when the job is done.
Learn moreChange orders
From RFI to approved change, on the job cost report.
An RFI records the question, the answer and whether cost or schedule is affected. The change order it leads to lists budget deltas per cost code and the contract delta, and approval updates the revised budget and contract.
Progress billing
Pay applications pre-filled from the last one.
Percent complete per schedule-of-values line, completed to date, previous billed, this period and retention: the continuation sheet is filled from the last approved application, and the approved application becomes a draft invoice.
