Konobase can help you make sense of your project, work, and job orders. Which one with which, in fact? Many people in the industry call their work receipts different things.
For some shops, the job order is the most granular unit. If your people get dispatched to do work, the job order is the one documenting what was done for the customer, where, potentially for how much, and what supplies were used to deliver the output.
Then comes the work order. Sometimes a work order encompasses multiple job orders. An example: two people are dispatched to the site but they’re doing different types of work. One work order may have many jobs — for example, a site requiring an inspection where one person inspects vehicles and another inspects buildings. The work order has two jobs (buildings and vehicles) and produces two different sets of documents, all of which have to be scanned and uploaded to HQ to make sense of the whole thing and to keep accurate timekeeping.
The last unit is the project order. Project orders encompass many work orders and job orders. A project is a big thing and may have multiple phases. Overall it describes a larger effort delivered for a customer.
What’s often confusing is that many companies use these interchangeably, and one of the needs they have is to either unify them or make sense of what’s there. As a manager you want to be sure that work, job, and project orders accurately reflect the supplies used and the time spent.
Konobase is built to organize it all. Scans from our mobile application get your documents in order without the tedious organizing. You don’t have to split everything into folders. You don’t have to text or email HQ photos and documents that you’ve taken. Upload them to the platform and the platform makes sense of them. The beauty: as long as you have the document, Konobase takes its best effort to do something with it.
Photos can be taken with the mobile app, and Konobase will be able to read what’s there even when the text was handwritten.
To give it a shot, create your free Konobase account at register.konobase.com and upload some documents. The self-onboarding flow lets you try it out before you show it to the rest of your team.
