Streamline Your Construction Business with Job Costing Software Toolkit

In construction, managing projects efficiently, staying compliant with tax regulations, and ensuring smooth payroll processing are essential for success. However, these tasks can be overwhelming and time-consuming without the right tools. That is why we have curated a powerful software toolkit designed exclusively for custom home builders and remodelers to simplify their business operations. Let us explore the key components of our software bundle and how they can transform your construction business.

QuickBooks Online Advanced: The backbone of our bundled software solution

Our construction project management software bundle starts with QuickBooks Online Advanced, a comprehensive accounting tool that automates various financial tasks for your business. With QuickBooks, you can:

• Seamlessly handle accounting tasks and synchronize data across devices, reducing paperwork.
• Manage contractors and comply with 1099s by allowing subcontractors to add their tax information directly.
• Prepare for tax time by organizing income and expenses into tax categories and sharing books with your accountant.
• Track labor costs per project, letting you know the time spent and the corresponding cost rates.

Additionally, QuickBooks allows you to accept online payments, offering flexibility to your customers and ensuring invoices are paid faster. The clear dashboards and reports also provide profitability insights, helping you identify which projects need attention and which are profitable.

Payroll Software Connector for job costing: Streamline payroll and job cost tracking

Efficiently managing payroll and tracking job costs is critical in the construction industry. Our Payroll Software Connector bridges the gap between time collection, payroll, and accounting software like QuickBooks. The key features include:

• Simplifying the integration of time data with partners like ADP, ensuring accurate job costs in your general ledger.
• Using your existing time tracking solution for per-person job basis time collection, aided by Dapt for time rule management.
• Converting time or non-time activities into payroll, ensuring smooth processing with partners like ADP.
• Managing the processing of payroll, job costing, and other back-office systems.
• Simplifying GL handling by mapping with Dapt's assistance.

This connector saves time and effort and ensures compliance with strict import requirements and cost number creation for payroll purposes.

QuickBooks Time: Efficient mobile time tracking for construction managers

Tracking employee time accurately is essential for payroll processing and job costing. QuickBooks Time offers a robust mobile time tracking solution, including features such as:
