VIEWPOINT.com | +1 800.333.3197 What Viewpoint has brought to SJ Higgins SJ Higgins has implemented a consistent and streamlined approach to administering projects. Because of the automation of many processes and the powerful integration of Jobpac by Viewpoint job costing to accounting, a complete and accurate view of all aspects of projects, including their current and forecasted position is visible across the organisation. The benefits of integrated construction management software are far reaching across the business, but for a CA, the ability to manage and improve the financial outcome of a project is significant. Forecasting the Target Margin Powerful support for forecasting and more accurate cost reporting in tune with expenditure is the biggest upside to the Jobpac by Viewpoint implementation. "This allows me to report more accurately and account for project accruals as well as providing management with a more accurate snapshot of the project. I can effectively ascertain any risk adjustments that need to be made, highlight budget overruns early on & effectively manage and report conservative and target margins," adds Melissa. Jobpac gives SJ Higgins the project information to analyse and review the project cash position. "Each month I review the cash position and make adjustments to contingency as required. Jobpac gives me a much better handle on project cash flow at any time during the month, and how we are tracking," says Melissa. According to Melissa, Jobpac has helped SJ Higgins proactively manage the larger and more complex projects where, by nature, margins are at a higher risk of being compromised during the course of the project. The company factors in risk adjustments that may have a direct impact on the bottom line. Automated and Streamlined Processes Letting and administering subcontracts and variations is now much more streamlined. Subcontract claims are scanned and digitally arrive in the CAs inbox for assessment and approval to pay.
