Workforce + Workplace Solutions

Job Processing & Costing

Track manpower and cost at the job level. Break work into projects, phases, and jobs; assign people and capture their hours against each; and watch cost build up in real time instead of reconstructing it in a spreadsheet at month-end. Cloud or on-premise.

Talk to us

Labour is usually the largest variable cost on a project, and the hardest to pin to the work that consumed it.

Most operators know total headcount and total hours, but not which project, phase, or job those hours went into, so at month-end someone splits payroll across jobs from memory and a spreadsheet. Bids get priced on guesswork, margin leaks on jobs nobody flagged, and the loss-making job is only obvious once it is over. Matrix COSEC Job Processing and Costing closes that gap. Supervisors break work into projects, phases, and jobs and allocate people to each; workers clock their hours against the specific job they are on; progress and cost build up automatically as the work happens; and user-wise and job-wise reports show exactly where the man-hours and the money went. Labour lands on the right cost centre, bids are priced on real numbers, and a job in trouble shows up while there is still time to act.

Capabilities

Break work into projects, phases, and jobs

Supervisors and project leaders set the work up the way it actually runs — a project divided into phases, each phase into individual jobs — so every hour booked has a real place to land.

A large build, a maintenance contract, or a production run all map onto the same structure, which means costing follows the shape of the work instead of forcing the work into a flat timesheet.

Break work into projects, phases, and jobs

Assign people to jobs and track their hours

Allocate workers to jobs by department or segment, and the system tracks the manpower invested in each one as they clock in against it.

You see who is on which job and how many hours it has absorbed, so labour is attributed to the job that consumed it rather than pooled into one undifferentiated payroll total.

Track progress and cost as the work happens

Job progress and labour cost build up automatically from the hours booked — no one re-keys timesheets or rebuilds the numbers at month-end.

Ongoing jobs can be compared against the standard hours they were planned for, so an overrun shows up while the job is still running and there is still room to correct it, not in a post-mortem after the cost is sunk.

Track progress and cost as the work happens

Cost reports by job and by person

Customisable user-wise and job-wise reports break man-hours and cost down to the level you need — what a job cost in labour, what a person contributed across jobs, where a phase ran over.

Finance prices bids and bills clients on real figures, and managers see which jobs earn and which leak before the pattern repeats on the next one.
