Construction scheduling software
that is easy to set up, easy to learn,
and easy to use. You could be up and running less than 1 hour
from now. Plan your jobs better, save time, and get
organized the easy way.
With VirtualBoss you and/or your accountant will not forget
what you want done before payments are made. With VirtualBoss you will
have reports that will tell you exactly what is not done that should be done. You can print a
to-do list for any subcontractor. To do lists can be filtered down to what
should be complete that is not complete. When it is time to write a check to
a subcontractor you can run this report and be able to give good reason (documented in
writing) for not paying or back-charging or holding pay. Once you
determine you want to hold pay for somebody, send work orders instead of a
check. Sending work orders instead of a check lets a subcontractor know you are
serious about getting the job done.
If you do not use VirtualBoss to stop payments you can use it when sending out
checks to update subcontractors as to what needs to be done.
When you hand a subcontractor their check with a list of things that should have been done and ask,
"can you have these items done before the next check is written?"
They will
almost always answer yes. It is remarkable just how fast the outstanding to-do list
disappears.
VirtualBoss also tracks insurance and workers' compensation expiration dates. As a contractor, you know how much
work is involved with tracking and making sure your subs have up-to-date insurance and
workers' compensation. Building contractors that properly track insurance and
workers' compensation spend a lot of time sorting, filing, and looking up
things that VirtualBoss can for you. Most contractors do not do a good job tracking this
sort of thing. Being able to show
to your
sales prospects that you have a system for ensuring that your subcontractors have proper insurance can really make you shine next to
your competition.
Prevent unnecessary losses due to improper
insurance, use your system as a
sales tool, and use your #1 asset (you hold and write the checks) to get the
job done. The contracting industry is going to change quickly. Be on the wave
and stop wasting time doing things the old way. Make your company look professional
and give yourself a real edge over your competition.
When you give a list of what still needs to be finished instead of handing over a check, it leaves little room for questions.
