Challenges – Engineering companies in Australia require a unique blend of financial, operational and project based information. The challenges very often centre around a combination of small and large jobs requiring a level of tracking to ensure that the job will be delivered on-time and within budget. Reporting is critical including profit and loss by job, forecast cost to complete and workflow reporting. Work in progress and related calculations often span across several financial periods of months or even year’s.
Experience – The team at Leverage Technologies has been involved in many implementations of SAP Business One with Enprise Job Costing and Workbench for the engineering industry.
