Labor and Job Costing for Field Service and Asset Management

Managing and tracking labor and job costing across field service and asset management strains, even the most organized of operations managers. Price lists change, SLAs in customer contracts are revised, and employee rates may differ from contractor rates. When servicing an asset, you can’t just send any field service technician. The type of asset maintenance most likely differs in terms of the skilled labor required to maintain the asset, thereby, the labor rate.

How do you ensure you’re charging the right labor rates and not giving materials away for free? Are you missing out on new revenue opportunities? Is it easy to create accurate job estimates for future work?

The Field Squared Field Service Automation Platform takes the guesswork out of labor and job costing. With Field Squared, you can account for labor and job costs for clear, accurate estimates, billing, and invoicing. Stop manually updating price lists/price books when you can automate updates across your field operations in minutes.

Field Squared’s robust labor and job costing software can be leveraged for Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Field Service Management (FSM), and everything in between. This makes Field Squared uniquely positioned to help organizations of any size, industry, or type of work understand their job and labor costs.
