Job costing

Job costing that runs alongside the order – not weeks later

What did the last machine really cost? In MaschPilot the answer builds itself: every stock withdrawal, every booked hour and every purchase invoice lands in the project. You see budget and actual while the order is running – and quote the next one with real numbers.

No credit card required – 30 days free, ends automatically.

What missing job costing costs you

Quotes based on gut feeling

Without real actual costs the next project is estimated again – often too low.

Surprises at the end

Whether an order made money only shows after the final invoice.

Excel costing eats time

Collecting hours, delivery notes and invoices by hand takes days.

How costing builds itself

Labour at the rate when booked

Time from the timer, manual bookings or the Clockodo/Personio import is valued at the hourly rate that applied when it was booked. Optionally broken down per person and task.

Time tracking with booked hours per project

Budget vs. actual with forecast

Budget for material, labour and other costs against actual costs – with remaining budget, open orders and the expected margin. Only project managers see costs and margins.

Material at moving average cost

Stock withdrawals for a project are valued at moving average cost. Parts ordered directly for the project come in at the order price.

  • Planned material from the parts list and supplier prices
  • Hint when parts list items have no price yet

Subcontracting, purchase invoices and expenses

Contract manufacturing, coating, travel and mileage are assigned to the project. Purchase invoices from lexoffice flow in too.
