Sage MAS 200 Accounting Software for Manufacturing and Job-Based Companies
Job-based companies, whether manufacturing, service or both, have special business process needs. Most accounting solutions simply don't offer that, and job management add-ons usually lose something on the way to the G/L accounts. JobOps and Sage MAS 200 lets you:
Quote fast and accurately. Easily use past quotes, orders, pre-set templates or graphical configurator to create the Bill of Materials, production Steps, labor and machine time and cost budgets needed to base a realistic quote on. Of course, you can build quotes completely from scratch, too. A really unusual feature: complete flexibility, so even though you start from a prior order, you can modify every element of that starting point to meet the current situation.
Accurate orders. Simply "flip a switch" on the quote to turn it into an order. That's right – no rekeying of data. Of course, the order itself can also be modified as change orders come through. Before accepting the order, you can use JobOps Advanced Scheduling to do "what if" planning to create a realistic promise date for the customer.
Real purchasing power. Analyze your materials needs. Combined with Sage MAS 200's exceptional inventory and purchasing control, JobOps' "Purchasing Wizard" lets you see the big picture based on manufacturing scheduling and customer promise dates and then act accordingly. Aggregate orders for discounts, order enough to avoid expediting charges, and tie product purchase and inventory costs directly to the job's results.
Real-time shop floor schedule and cost status. Task labor, parts consumed, machine time are all collected real time. You'll know where each job is in terms of cost, time and completion schedule in time to make changes if needed. When customers call for updated schedules, you can given them updates instantly.
Complete cost visibility. JobOps relation to Sage MAS 200 means that you always know current costs, current commitments and expected profits, job by job. Clearly, and in time to make them even better.
Service dispatch and control. JobOps' graphical scheduling tool combined with its job orientation means that you can accurately handle service calls, capture labor and parts costs, order special items, maintain truck inventories and tie it all back to the original items. This is powerful stuff for your service division … and its controller.
