Many First Nation organizations start with software such as Xyxntax, Quickbooks & Sage 50 for there basic accounting needs.

Between managing materials, equipment, labour, and subcontractors, most contractors can tell you what a project earned once it's closed out. Far fewer can tell you, in the middle of the job, whether it's still on track. That gap is where money disappears: budget overruns nobody catches until it's too late to fix them, and projects that look fine right up until they don't. A real job costing process for contractors closes that gap. It's not complicated, but most companies never get past a version that's close enough, and close enough is expensive.

Is Construction Payroll a Nightmare? Nightmares are for Halloween!

Are you doubling up on payroll processes/systems? Are you thinking of using Sage 100 Contractor payroll? If the answer is yes, then keep reading…

Scenario

You have one system that collects time and the other system does accounting. The two systems can’t talk to each other. This results in duplicate data entry and added costs.

Cost

How much is it costing your organization to run two systems? How happy is your payroll person every pay period?

Watching costs is at the heart of every business. Remaining profitable with higher costs is a self-defeating endeavor. However, you can minimize your costs considerably in the long run when you streamline your business processes. This means acquiring or investing in a solution that captures costs against the job, which includes payroll.

Compatible system

In my experience, you should invest in a system that is able to address your key pain points and has a high Return on Investment (ROI). If current systems and procedures do not tick all your boxes, then the alternative is to look at other complementing systems (vendors).

For example, you can have a great system that does a great job in accounting and project management but doesn’t capture time in the field. True nirvana is one system that does it all. The reality is that no system will ever give you 100% of exactly what you need but you can sure as heck get very close to 100%.

An integrated solution that you plan to implement should:

• help you eliminate double entries between systems
• Implement an approval process
• Reduce paperwork
• Enhance communications
• Enhance customer service
• In many cases, complement or improve existing workflows

Conclusion

As listed above, there are several advantages of having ‘one’ integrated software solution. But, how do you off the two separate systems?
