In manufacturing SMEs, the toughest part of cost control often isn’t production itself — it’s tracing every expense back to the right order. Raw materials, subcontracting fees, logistics, and energy use all contribute to cost per job, but when the numbers sit in disconnected spreadsheets or invoices, visibility gets lost.
Here’s how manufacturers can map costs directly to orders — without adding admin time — using AI-powered automation from ccMonet.
Traditional systems require manual tagging: someone must label each purchase order or supplier invoice with a job number. That’s slow and error-prone — especially when multiple orders run in parallel.
With ccMonet, AI reads every incoming invoice or delivery note and automatically matches it to the right order based on supplier, product type, or reference keywords. Even handwritten or multi-language documents are recognised.
The result: every cost is tracked to its specific job or batch — no manual coding, no extra admin.
When production and subcontracting expenses are only uploaded at month-end, true order profitability becomes invisible.
ccMonet allows team members on the factory floor or in procurement to upload bills, supplier receipts, or subcontractor invoices on the spot. The AI posts them instantly, keeping your job-costing dashboard current throughout the week.
This gives owners and managers a real-time view of whether a job is staying within budget — not weeks later when it’s already shipped.
Material costs can fluctuate daily. Without live tracking, you risk using outdated pricing when quoting or analysing profitability.
By digitising every material invoice, ccMonet links input costs directly to finished goods. This means you can:
It’s production insight — powered by accurate financial data.
Allocating overhead costs like utilities, rent, and maintenance across jobs can be messy. ccMonet simplifies this by allowing flexible cost tagging and auto-allocation rules.
The system learns your recurring expense patterns and distributes them proportionally based on job volume or production value. That keeps your job-level cost reports consistent and realistic — without a finance manager manually splitting costs each month.
Once all expenses and revenues are tied to the right order, ccMonet’s AI Insights dashboard gives you instant clarity:
These insights update continuously, so you can review profitability as you produce — not just after the quarter closes.
For manufacturing SMEs, accurate job costing shouldn’t require extra paperwork. With ccMonet, every invoice, order, and expense automatically connects to the right project — giving you real-time profit visibility without the admin burden.
Know your costs per order. Keep your books clean. Build efficiency that scales — with ccMonet.
