The problem
Finance exports ERP data into every job file by hand, every period
The solution
PivotXL loads cost-to-date from your ERP into each job sheet automatically, so every PM starts the period with current numbers.
For contractors and project-based companies
Collect estimates from every project manager in Excel, consolidate them automatically, and recognize ASC 606 / IFRS 15 revenue with a full audit trail.
ERP exports pasted into every job file. Cost-to-complete chased from 10+ project managers. Under ASC 606 and IFRS 15, your revenue is only as reliable as those estimates, and manual work makes them late, inconsistent and unsupported.
Before PMs can start, finance exports cost-to-date from the ERP and pastes it into every job file, every period.
Cost-to-complete templates go out by email, and finance spends the first days of close chasing PMs. One late estimate holds up revenue for the whole period.
Every PM returns a different file: edited formulas, missing jobs, last month’s version. Finance pastes it all into one schedule by hand, and one error flows straight into revenue.
When cost-to-complete changes and nobody recorded who changed it or why, auditors ask, and finance rebuilds the story from emails.
Late or revised estimates surface profit fade as catch-up adjustments, costing credibility with auditors, sureties, lenders and parent companies.
From ERP data to final WIP report: every estimate on time, consistent and supported, so you can rely on your revenue.
The problem
The solution
PivotXL loads cost-to-date from your ERP into each job sheet automatically, so every PM starts the period with current numbers.
The problem
The solution
Assign each project manager their estimates for the period, set due dates, and see who’s submitted at a glance. Reminders go out automatically, so you stop sending them.
The problem
The solution
PMs update cost-to-complete in a familiar Excel sheet showing just their jobs. Everyone works from the same structure, so nothing gets broken, renamed or emailed.
| Job | Cost to date | Est. to complete |
|---|---|---|
| 2104 Hospital MEP | 2,150,000 | 1,750,000 |
| 2117 Transit signaling | 3,320,000 | 6,980,000 |
| 2122 Water treatment | 2,210,000 | 330,000 |
The problem
The solution
One version of every job and estimate. Each period is versioned, and every change records who made it, when, and why, ready for your auditors.
The problem
The solution
As estimates arrive, PivotXL rolls them up by job, PM, division and company. Your WIP report is ready without a single copy-paste.
The problem
The solution
Apply your percent-complete rules consistently, calculate over and under billings, and flag margin erosion the moment an estimate changes.
The problem
The solution
Give each of them a live, controlled view of the numbers in the browser. No attachments, no revised versions.
Estimates arrive in one place, already consolidated. Finance spends close week reviewing numbers instead of collecting them.
Every change in percent complete has a history behind it. Hand auditors the record instead of rebuilding it from email.
Deliver timely, defensible WIP schedules every period, and give your surety and lenders a reason to trust your numbers.
PMs stay in Excel. Adoption happens in the first period, not after months of training.
