“LiveCosts has reduced our accounts data entry by over 60%, freeing the team to focus on more valuable work. What you pay for the system, you save many times over. It gives you full control, saves time, and keeps your finances in check. Cash is king, and LiveCosts helps you protect it.”

Dawie Spangenberg
CEO X-Pro Projects (PTY) Ltd.

“I think that month end WIP process is a lot slicker. Now when Finance and Operations leave the room, we’re all on the same page. There’s no massive queries around finance supposed to cost the wrong job, missing data, that type of thing. Which detracts from the process. So the removal of all those queries, has been a bit of a game changer.”

Gordon Spence
Finance Director, Hankinson Whittle

“The most beneficial aspect of LiveCosts is the cost and reports for each project and the live profit margins. They’re being shown right there on the home page once you log in so it’s easy and clear to see all the real-time information with our reports being pulled up within minutes.”
