Project Costing

Ostendo is designed to help companies to track the profitability of every project and better cost control so you can have the information to make informed decisions.

Capturing new jobs, linking sub-jobs, allocating costs and labour, scheduling resources and invoicing gives your project & operational team the tools to manage their workload.

Jobs can be linked to a specific project which then allows for updated real-time project costing. The project costing information allows for the tracking of budget versus actual project costing, alerting the user if planned vs actual costs are over budget.

Manager is empowered with timely and detailed cost information to monitor their project performance, at the same time, accounts/finance manager is able to track the total project cost.
