Which companies is GControl for?

For companies that work job by job and need to know what each job costs them: mechanical installation, industrial maintenance, installations, structures, technical services…, with their own staff, job sheets and materials.

How is the cost of each job calculated?

With the hours on the job sheets valued at the rate card of each job grade, plus the material delivered to each job.

Can the job sheets be used for payroll?

Yes. They record each worker's hours, to automate payroll, and break those hours down by job and activity, for job costing.

How does material reach each job?

Through material deliveries: each delivery, with its supplier and delivery note, is charged to the job at its cost. Delivery notes are imported from Sage, and the materials control reports give the detail for each job.

Can workers clock in from their mobile?

Yes. With the Android app they record the start, end and breaks of the working day, at your premises or at the customer's site, and fill in their job sheets with normal, overtime and holiday hours. The office sees it in real time and prints the signed timesheet.

Does it connect with Sage?

Yes. GControl imports delivery notes and invoices from Sage, so you can compare the cost of each job with what was invoiced, and exports payroll data to Sage.

Does it produce work orders?

Yes. For each job the service request is printed: the work order, signed at the start and at the end. The job is opened with its code, has a supervisor and a person in charge, receives the operatives' job sheets and is closed with its completion date.

Can I keep the details from my job sheet template?

Yes. What you write on the template today (the worker, the job, the hours, breaks, travel, allowances and mileage) is entered from the Android app or from Windows, and nobody has to copy it by hand into payroll or job costs any more.

Is GControl a preventive maintenance system (CMMS)?

No. GControl does not manage a plant's equipment or maintenance plan: it is the software for the company that does the work, with its quotes, job sheets, materials and the cost of every job.
