Quality Systems International (QSI) has developed a web-based job costing software application to enable field engineers and technicians from contract labs to allocate and record job costs on site.
The software application, which features a simple graphical user interface, is able to run as a standalone solution or be integrated with QSI's Winlims software.
The job costing solution enables organisations that need to record job details and assign actual costs incurred performing a job while on location.
A job can be created in the application identifying the customer, contact details, the site for the job, job number and more.
Once created, the actual costs can be assigned to the job.
Cost items that can be recorded include employees' time, expenses such as travel and hotels, as well as consumables used during the job.
The job can also contain the contract review notes and authority to proceed with the job.
The job costing software solution is also available as part of QSI's Winlims Rental solution that enables organisations such as contract laboratories to use a full Lims package for a monthly fee, with a low up-front cost.
Identical to QSI's full Winlims system, Winlims Rental comes bundled with an installation program and tutorials to get users up and running as quickly and easily as possible.
The rental agreements can be converted to a subscription contract or full purchase at any time, keeping an organisation's options open.
