Construction demonstration

From two versions
to one clear picture.

An illustrative look at how we can connect accounting and operations, explain differences, and give your team a reviewable job picture. The demonstration uses synthetic records.

The disagreement
is the useful part.

An approved cost is not always a posted cost. A reliable report makes that distinction visible instead of choosing a number and hiding the other.

In this synthetic example, an approved addition has reached operations but not accounting. The difference is retained for a person to review.

One job. Two different totals.Illustrative data. Operations shows 196,450 dollars including approved additions. Accounting shows 184,600 dollars in posted costs.

The mechanics

A repeatable path to clarity.

01 / MAP

Agree on what a job means.

Document job identifiers, cost categories, reporting periods, and ownership. Map source fields into that shared structure, keeping the original records intact.

  • Written mapping your team can review
  • Explicit rules for missing or duplicate records
  • Read-only access to begin
02 / COMPARE

Compare like with like.

Compare corresponding records on an agreed schedule. Distinguish posting delays from missing records and inconsistent mappings.

  • Both source values and source identifiers
  • The rule that explains each difference
  • An assigned review step, not a silent overwrite
03 / UNDERSTAND

Make work in progress legible.

Bring revenue, costs already incurred, commitments, and remaining work into the same conversation. Show when each source last updated.

  • Job profitability with a clear cost basis
  • Completed work that is not yet billed
  • Freshness visible beside the figures
04 / MAINTAIN

Keep the picture useful.

For this type of engagement, your engineer works with the people responsible for project and financial information. Together, you agree a review cadence and maintain the mappings as the work changes.

  • Review unresolved differences and owners
  • Maintain connections through upgrades
  • Adjust reporting as the business changes

Watch the logic

Operations includes an approved addition: $196,450. Accounting includes posted costs only: $184,600. BundleBoB surfaces the $11,850 difference for review.

Integration approach

Your existing tools are the starting point.

We scope connections against the access your systems actually provide. A listed system is a scoping example, not a claim of a production connector.

Accounting & ERP

QuickBooks, Sage, Viewpoint, and other accounting systems.

API or agreed export

Operations & work orders

Shop management, field service, project, and production systems.

Access reviewed during scoping

The spreadsheets between

Job mappings, cost estimates, and the working files that fill the gaps.

Documented import rules
