Master Job Costing & Maximize NetSuite ROI with SnapOn Software
What Is Job Costing & Why It Matters 

Job costing allocates every expense—direct or indirect—to specific projects. NetSuite, at its core, supports assigning labor hours, materials, and overhead to jobs, ensuring allocation aligns seamlessly with the general ledger  

SnapOn Software enhances this by: 

  1. Real‑time labor capture—time entries directly tied to job costs 
  2. Automated material cost mapping—commit costs immediately 
  3. Intelligent overhead apportionment—spread indirect expenses across job durations 

 

Enhancing NetSuite with SnapOn Software 

By optimizing NetSuite’s Job Costing module, SnapOn Software enables: 

  • Smarter project estimates using historical cost data  
  • Live financial oversight, flagging cost variances early  
  • Advanced profitability reporting—spot high-margin jobs and unprofitable ones fast 

NetSuite’s centralized platform, when refined by SnapOn Software, powers granular analysis and predictive budgeting across projects  

 

Why SnapOn Software Stands Out 
  • All-in-one automation: From job initiation to financial close, costs are captured and analyzed 
  • Granular reporting: Drill into phase, task, and cost code breakdowns for proactive control 
  • Continuous improvement: Refine estimating using real-world cost data for smarter bids  
  • ERP synergies: Works with NetSuite financials, project management, inventory, and reporting modules  

 

Real Business Impact 

By integrating job costing within NetSuite: 

  • Hold projects accountable without lag—manual spreadsheets become obsolete 
  • Detect unprofitable jobs early, and drive corrective action 
  • Create accurate job budgets and forecasts for solid financial planning 
  • Increase margins and reduce financial friction 

NetSuite plus SnapOn Software turns costing from a retrospective process into a forward-looking advantage.
