A day gets coded to the wrong job. A change gets handled in the field and the extra hours never make it in. None of it feels like much at the time. Then the job closes, and the profit you counted on is gone. Archarina ties every hour to the right job as the work happens, so you can see where a job really stands while you can still do something about it.
Hours logged to this job
Job cost updated live
It is the largest part of most jobs and the part that swings the most, so it is where your profit is won or lost. When you can see the hours landing on each job as they happen, you can catch the one going over early, and fix it while the job is still open, instead of finding out once it is closed and the money is already spent.
You have several jobs going at once, each on its own site, each with a number you need to hit. You cannot be everywhere, so you are trusting that the hours are landing on the right job and the work is going to plan.
Here is the catch. You usually cannot tell how a job is really doing until it is too late to change it. A day gets coded to the wrong job. A change gets handled on-site and nobody logs the extra hours. And the real numbers only come together when payroll runs at the end of the period. By then the job is finished, and if it lost money, that loss is yours.
Archarina brings it all together as the work happens. Every hour ties to the right job the moment it is worked, so what a job is costing you is something you can see today, while you can still do something about it.
This is what changes for a contractor once every hour is tied to the job it belongs to.
