What Our Customers Say
“Initially, we lacked a proper purchase order system, making it challenging to pull out costing reports across our multiple construction sites. Implementing LiveCosts not only established an efficient PO system but also streamlined invoice processing by connecting with our QuickBooks accounts program, reducing double-handling. The software’s detailed functionalities in cost reports, labor tracking, and budgeting have significantly improved our cost control, ensuring we know if we’re under or over budget on a job.”
