Job Cost
Job Cost
The core of the Job Cost system is the Job Cost module, which helps you tracks five different cost types (actual, estimated, change order, committed and forecasted final) and understand variances between each type. A built-in report generator gives your project managers full visibility into all of their jobs.
Construction Management

From simple time and material billing to more complex fee-based structures, Construction Management helps you easily calculate project invoices based on detailed cost information and ensures that billable items are never missed.
Takeoff
With the Takeoff module, you can stop re-keying data and take control of your procurement process. Enter data once to create a detailed list of required elements and the Jonas solution will automatically transfer this data to estimates, change orders, proposals and procurement for the order of goods.
Job Scheduling
The Job Scheduling module clearly highlights project tasks that need to be scheduled and the resources that are available to complete them. Project managers can easily design scheduling views that group subcontractors and internal resources by skill sets, locations and date ranges.
Change Order Management
The Change Order Management module tracks requests-for-information (RFIs) from inception through approval to ensure that money is never left on the table. Creating and monitoring potential changes to the scope of work couldn’t be easier. And when change orders are created, the Change Order Management module automatically updates the estimate, progress billing and subcontract if applicable.
Subcontract Control
With the Subcontract Control module, complex tasks become automated and easy. Not only will you pay your subcontractors the correct amount, you’ll never pay them with an expired certificate. Plus, you can create printed payment certificates so each subcontractor can see exactly what they are being paid for. Full integration of the Subcontract Control module with the other Jonas solution elements allows subcontract information to flow seamlessly throughout the entire system, creating commitments for subcontracts as well as automatic alerts for expired insurance certificates. This robust module also tracks all required certificates, creates subcontract change orders and allows you to manage holdback / retainage.

Service Work Order
The Service Work Order module is the core of the Service system. With this module, you can quickly create work order tickets and review enquiries, site and equipment history and purchase orders all from a single screen.
Service Dispatch
The Service Dispatch module provides a visual tool for dispatchers to view and manage the service department.

Service Contracts
The Service Contracts module gives you the ability to create and manage prepaid service contracts and pre-schedule required visits so they appear directly on the dispatch board.

The use of multiple books with multiple rates and special customer-specific pricing is supported. Integration with the other Jonas solution modules makes sure that updated data is seamlessly transferred to Inventory as materials are used.
Tasking
The Tasking module allows you to create checklists for technicians to use onsite to record numeric values, such as pressure and temperature, and create a record to indicate that each service task was completed as contracted. Tasking is also available for Jonas Mobile (see below), which allows checklists to be completed on a handheld device and automatically attached to the work order in the back office system.

Optional Service Management Software add-on components include:
Jonas Mobile
The Jonas Mobile solution dramatically reduces overhead, increases technician productivity and shortens billing cycle times by automating your field service operations. Jonas Mobile allows dispatchers to send work orders to technicians in the field via a mobile device.

Inventory & Equipment Management
Inventory
The Inventory module offers a flexible way to track and cost parts and other materials. Inventory can be charged to jobs and work orders directly through the Inventory module, or from the Job Cost and Service modules. In addition to standard construction inventory functionality, such as min/max quantities, non-stock items, purchase history, multiple valuation methods and so forth, the Inventory module also has advanced functionality for building kits and assemblies. Links from the Inventory module to pricing services like Allpriser and TRA-SER ensure that you always have access to the most up-to-date pricing available for your industry.

Counter Sales
The Counter Sales module offers a simple point of sale product for contractors that sell parts to the wholesale or retail market. Full integration with the Inventory and Accounts Receivable modules eliminates the need to enter sales data multiple times.
Equipment Management

With up to seven different rate levels for charging equipment to jobs and work orders, and sophisticated depreciation calculations and maintenance scheduling reporting, you’ll gain a better understanding of the true cost of each piece of equipment while simplifying own, rent or lease decisions. Integration between the Equipment Management and Payroll modules eliminates duplicate data entry when accounting for operator time.
Tool Crib
The Tool Crib module provides a complete system for tracking and locating your tools, whether they are in the shop, on a job site or out for repair. The Tool Crib module allows you to charge tool rental rates to jobs, which becomes an incentive for project managers to use tools more efficiently – and return them on a timely basis. This process dramatically reduces your capital investment in tools and allows each item to become a profit center.

Web Portal Solutions (eProducts)
Web portals are rapidly becoming a standard tool across every industry. 10 years ago online banking was in its infancy but today it is hard to imagine operating without a web portal. The same basic story goes for the advent of online travel booking which came along a few years later. It has taken somewhat longer for the technology to permeate into the construction space but now that it is becoming available it will become industry standard within the next couple of years. Jonas currently offers three online construction management portal (eService, eTimesheets and eBackup) products.
eService
Jonas eService is a portal which service contractors can provide to their customers. Service customers use a secure login to access the portal where they can log work orders, view work order and equipment history and see their outstanding accounts payable. E-Service functionality is becoming a standard request in most large request for quotes and will soon be expected from all service customers. A service contractor without e-Service will soon be like a bank without online banking. More information on how eService can take your Service Department online.

eTimesheets
This module is a web based solution for logging labor hours remotely and will automate your company’s time and attendance process. Hosted by Jonas – so there’s no software to install or maintain – the online labor time entry system is an easy-to-use and efficient system to help contractors manage their most valuable resource – your staff. This new addition to Jonas will benefit those contractors that have remote crews or service people with a need to report time to a centralized payroll. In addition to promoting a paperless work environment there are a number of other benefits to an online payment process.

Jonas eRouting is an easy-to-use live mapping tool that lets service contractors track the location of their technicians, trucks and work orders in real time. eRouting uses the proven technology of Google Maps™ to display the location of your work orders. It can also be integrated with your GPS tracking system to display the location of your vehicles. With eRouting you can select the closest qualified technician to the job simply by plotting positions on a map. With the map in view, you can click on a work order to see its location. You can also click on a truck to find its location, and view what work is being performed at that site. Jonas eRouting keeps you informed and increases efficiency by saving time and money thus allowing you to complete more work orders throughout the day.
