Overview

Pacific Solutions offers two systems to manage your business; FloorManager and JobRunner. JobRunner is our Commercial project management system. FloorManager is our Residential management system. JobRunner is used by companies involved in heavy commercial flooring projects to light commercial all the way into multi-family flooring projects.

There are several features that sets JobRunner apart from FloorManager. These features and functionality make JobRunner conducive to running commercial flooring projects and larger residential projects that take 3 or more months to complete.

Features

WIP Report and Percentage of Completion: The financial feature that sets JobRunner apart from FloorManager is JobRunner’s ability to perform percentage of completion accounting. In tandem with this ability is JobRunner’s GAAP WIP report. In order to produce the WIP report, JobRunner uses the feature we call Revenue Recognition accounting method. This is also known as Percentage of Completion accounting method. JobRunner has two accounting options; Percentage of Completion (Revenue Recognition) or Percentage of Contract (Non-Revenue Recognition). Where JobRunner offers a choice of either, FloorManager only offers Percentage of Contract accounting method (Non-Revenue Recognition). The Percentage of Completion accounting method and the WIP report make JobRunner the obvious choice in systems to manage large projects.

Project Management: JobRunner also offers the concept of Project. Once the primary job has been created, JobRunner assigns this job a project number. All subsequent change orders then fall under this project number. As the project progresses, users can evaluate profitability across the whole “Project” on the project tab at the main job. This features also allows JobRunner to produce a Project Cost Detail report for each project as a whole. This report shows the overall profitability of the project, including change orders and lists each bill and labor cost associated with the project.

Project Change Orders: An integral part to the JobRunner project is Change orders. Change Orders are created directly at the primary job and remain automatically linked to the project. A Change Order moves through three phases in JobRunner; Pending, Accepted (not approved) and Accepted (approved). This functionality provides tracking for Change Orders as they are created and whether or not they have been approved by the client. JobRunner also provides a Change Order History report to submit to the client outlining the Change Orders and their status.

Project Purchase Orders: JobRunner has the ability to create purchase orders across the project including its change orders. Project management in JobRunner provides a To Be Ordered report per project. This report displays all the material yet to be ordered for the entire project.

Project Work Orders: JobRunner creates installer work orders across the project as well. The system can combine lines from the mater job with lines from the project’s change orders. This gives the ability to keep all work on common work orders versus separate ones per piece of the job.

Project Billing: Retention is handled differently in JobRunner than it is in FloorManager. In JobRunner, retention is calculated across the project and posted to a Retention GL when the A/R Invoice is created. This shows on the A/R Aging report in the retainage column. The retention is then moved out of the Retention GL an into A/R when the retention is billed to its own A/R invoice. This function in JobRunner requires Retention to be part of the billing cycle and is billed with the Invoice Project option during transfer. JobRunner also offers a way to create A/R invoicing across the project. Although each change order can produce its own invoice, the ability to select lines from change orders and the main job together makes billing for large jobs easier.

AIA & Schedule of Values (G702/G703) Form: JobRunner includes an Application for Payment and Schedule of Values form. This form pulls data from the project automatically and also allows manual input in certain fields of the form. The form will display the constructed schedule of values information from the job and auto calculate retention, contract sums and each application for payment build on the previous application to auto calculate the work completed figures from prior applications.

Opportunities | Bid Register: JobRunner includes the feature called Opportunities. Opportunities tracks the leads for opportunity to bid. The Opportunities area creates a per sales person pipeline that is manageable directly in the pipeline view. JobRunner also includes a Bid Register. The Bid Register is the system tool that tracks your bid deadlines for work. The Bid Register provides a way for each sales person to track and maintain their bids.
