Successful job management requires an up-to-date overview, detailed planning and the ability to carry out follow-up analyses based on objective data. The Jobs application area enables detailed accounting and planning for all costs and billings for a project or job. First of all, automated billing prevents costs from going unbilled.

Finally, budgets and estimates allow you to make detailed costing plans and better analyse your profitability.
