FAQ
Job Costing Software FAQ
Do we need to change our current workflow?
No. Jolted is designed to layer on top of your existing processes. Workers scan in/out of jobs with a simple tablet or phone app. Material usage can be logged at issue time or production stages. The system captures data with minimal friction.
How long does setup take?
Most shops are tracking their first jobs within a week. Import your customer list, set up your labor rates, and you're ready. We'll help you configure material tracking to match your inventory process.
Can Jolted handle different job types and pricing models?
Yes. Whether you quote fixed-price, time-and-materials, or cost-plus, Jolted tracks actual costs the same way. You configure how to calculate margin based on your pricing model per job or customer.
What about jobs with multiple operations or work centers?
Jolted supports multi-operation routing. Track costs by operation, work center, or department. Roll everything up to the job level for total cost and margin visibility.
How does Jolted handle WIP (work-in-progress) inventory?
As labor and materials are added to jobs, Jolted calculates WIP value in real time. See exactly how much money is tied up in active jobs, broken down by stage, customer, or job type.
