Why Real-Time Purchase Order Data Matters
Tracking work in progress (WIP) in construction is notoriously difficult without real-time data. Many construction businesses rely on manual spreadsheets or outdated accounting reports, which means decisions are often made using lagging indicators. This can lead to budgeting blind spots, unexpected overspends, and a lack of clarity about true project performance.
LiveCosts solves this with live purchase order data that feeds directly into your project budgets. Every time a PO is raised, committed costs are instantly reflected in your reporting. You don’t have to wait until an invoice is processed — you can see what’s been ordered, by whom, and for which job, all in real time. This gives business owners and project managers the power to act quickly, adjust budgets, and forecast cash flow with greater confidence.
Unlike traditional accounting systems, which only track actuals once an invoice is approved, LiveCosts bridges the gap between site teams and finance by capturing commitments the moment they’re made. This real-time approach supports better WIP reporting by showing not only what has been spent, but also what is about to be spent — the key to understanding true job profitability.
By aligning your construction procurement process with real-time purchase order tracking, you can:
Reduce the risk of cost overruns by spotting trends early
Improve forecasting accuracy by accounting for committed spend
Increase collaboration between site teams and finance
Gain confidence in the accuracy of monthly and quarterly reporting
Whether you’re a growing contractor or an established firm juggling multiple projects, this level of visibility changes how you operate. No more guessing. No more scrambling for paperwork. Just clean, real-time insights into where your money is going — and why.
If you’re trying to improve WIP reporting and job margin control, implementing a construction-specific purchase order software like LiveCosts is a smart first step.
