Know Your Margins Before It's Too Late

Stop discovering cost overruns at job closeout. Appello gives you real-time visibility into every job's profitability β€” labor, materials, expenses, all in one view.

The Problem

Traditional job costing means waiting until month-end β€” or worse, job closeout β€” to know if you're making money. By then, it's too late to fix anything.

  • βœ—Cost overruns discovered at job closeout
  • βœ—Delayed job cost data β€” can't react in time
  • βœ—Spreadsheet tracking prone to errors
  • βœ—No visibility into job health

How Appello Solves It

  • βœ“Real-time job cost tracking
  • βœ“Earned value analysis
  • βœ“Cost-to-complete forecasting
  • βœ“Automatic labor and expense allocation

Real-Time Job Cost Tracking

Every dollar in, every dollar out β€” tracked by job, cost code, and worker in real-time.

Schedule of Values (SOV)

Break down job value by area, floor, or phase. Track completion percentage and compare earned value to actual costs.

  • Area/floor/phase breakdown
  • Completion percentage tracking
  • Value allocation
  • Progress tracking

  • Predictive cost modeling

  • Variance analysis
  • Early warning alerts

β€œBefore Appello, we'd find out a job was over budget at closeout. Now we know in real-time and can make corrections before it's too late.”
