How Custom Shops Achieve Accurate Job Costing

Every custom shop has the same challenge: no two jobs are alike. Different materials, different labor paths, different timelines and yet most job costing methods still rely on estimates, assumptions, or spreadsheets that can’t keep up.

In this webinar, we’ll show why custom work doesn’t break job costing outdated systems do. 

You’ll learn how highly custom, project-driven shops can track true job costs in real time, even when workflows change from job to job. We’ll break down how labor, materials, and expenses should be captured as work actually happens, and why visibility during production matters more than after the job is complete. 

This session will cover:

• Why traditional job costing fails in highly custom environments
• The difference between staged vs. percent-complete costing for one-off work
• How to spot margin risk early when custom jobs start to drift
• What accurate job costing looks like when every job follows a different path

If your shop builds custom products, runs project-based work, or constantly adapts to customer requirements, this webinar will show how job costing can scale with complexity instead of fighting it.
