Plant Orders can be created with specified ‘On Hire’ and ‘Off Hire’ dates, along with delivery and collection instructions. Approval workflows for plant orders can be configured to help manage and control plant-related costs. As soon as orders are processed, committed costs are posted to the Contract Ledger, offering full transparency of financial commitments.
The Plant Management Worksheet offers a centralised view for managing all external plant. You can apply filters to display plant data by Contract, Vendor, or Item. The worksheet enables easy transfer of plant between contracts or off-hiring with suppliers.
Cost postings from the worksheet allow for accruals on a contract before invoicing, ensuring accurate financial tracking and timely cost recognition.
Cue cards and comprehensive reporting provide greater control and oversight of your plant, helping to identify and reduce unnecessary costs associated with equipment that is no longer in use.
The Internal Plant Items module allows you to manage the use and maintenance of plant controlled internally. At its core, the module serves as a simple plant register, tracking which contracts the plant is being used on. For more advanced functionality, the Internal Plant Worksheet can be used to allocate plant usage costs directly to a contract.
Additionally, the module can be extended to include service management features, enabling you to track the maintenance and profitability of purchased plant items, ensuring optimal performance and cost control.
