01 / Job management

Manage the job from agreed scope to reviewed billing.

AxiomBlue job management software connects the agreed scope, site details, assigned work, time and materials in a job record. Review what happened on site before preparing the invoice. Professional adds variations and approvals, so extra work has a record alongside the original agreement.

Core jobs, time recording and materials are included in Basic. Uploads start on Basic; variations, compliance and subcontractor management require Professional.

02 / Variations & progress billing

Record the agreed extra before preparing the next claim.

AxiomBlue Professional records changes to an agreed job as contract variations, with their scope, value and approval state. Review the original contract and approved changes before preparing fixed-price progress claims. Keep the extra room, circuit or deliverable connected to the agreement and earlier billing.

  • Contract variations
  • Variation approvals
  • Revised contract value
  • Progress claims against fixed-price work
  • Retention held and release for configured contracts

03 / Inventory & materials

Follow materials from the price book to the job and stock record.

AxiomBlue connects your products and services catalogue with the materials recorded on jobs. Reuse item descriptions and prices in quotes, record actual usage and review movements for stock-tracked products. Stock adjustments, stocktakes and reorder levels help explain what is available for the next job.

04 / Project management

Plan project stages, dependencies and the next task.

AxiomBlue Professional gives larger jobs and client engagements a project plan: phases, tasks, dates and dependencies in a Gantt view, with kanban tickets for work in progress. Use sprint planning where it suits your team, and keep the project plan alongside the job records used for delivery and billing.
