Maximize Job Profitability with Center
In construction, every dollar counts. Center’s card-centric approach to expense management gives you the real-time spend visibility, control, and reporting you need to maximize job profitability.
Before the Project: Pick the Right Jobs and Know What to Charge
Deciding how to price services is one of the most impactful decisions a construction business can make. Center provides detailed expense reporting by job, project, or phase, giving you the data you need to select the right projects, forecast costs, and drive revenue.
Make Smart Decisions When Bidding
Real-time expense data powers your bidding decisions by providing an accurate breakdown of current costs. With up-to-date insights, you can refine your own models, estimate future project costs more accurately, and ensure bids cover all expenses, plus a profit margin.
Select the Right Projects
Analyzing job profitability for each type of project helps you identify which projects drive profit and which lead to cost overruns. Center integrates seamlessly with your ERP, giving you a unified dashboard to compare project profitability in real time and make informed decisions on which projects to pursue.
