    Job Costing System

    Platinum Enterprise Job Costing not only allows costing by job, but it also gives you the flexibility of costing by department, employee and specific operation. By using the performance comparison reports, you can check on the effectiveness of your employees or operations by analysing projected v actual time and cost to highlight variances and areas for improvement.

    Logging job details couldn’t be easier. An employee simply presses the clearly marked ‘job start’ or ‘job stop’ function buttons on the data collection terminal and follows a series of simple on-screen requests such as ‘Job code’, or ‘Operation code’. The touch-screen keypad may be used, although an increasing number of businesses choose to use barcode scanners for increased efficiency.

    Supported barcode types (external hand-held scanner) include:

    • Interleaved 2 of 5
    • EAN-13
    • Code 2 of 5
    • Code 93
    • Code 11
    • Code 128

    The data collected by the terminal is passed directly into Platinum making it instantly available for reports and enquiries. With clear identification for each job and operation, it lets you drill down to the exact layer of information you need, making it easy to compare performance and address areas where productivity can be improved. The Platinum Enterprise terminals run bespoke scripts designed specifically around your business needs, ensuring that the solution provided is perfect for you.
