The real problem starts between the store and the truck
You buy supplies for two jobs, put the receipt in the console, and plan to sort it out Friday. Friday becomes next week. The card statement shows the store and total, but not which fittings went to which address. Now the job total is a guess.
CostNota is built for that moment. Record the purchase while the job is still obvious, review the receipt line items, and attach the cost to the right project.
What you can track
- Purchases and refunds by job
- Materials, tools, fuel, and other editable cost categories
- Contract value, cost budget, recorded costs, and remaining budget
- Approved extra work and weekly project summaries
What CostNota does not try to replace
It is not payroll, dispatch, full bookkeeping, or an all-in-one contractor ERP. It gives a solo contractor or small crew a faster field record, then lets you export information when it needs to go elsewhere.
A practical daily routine
- Create the job before the first supply run.
- Scan or enter each purchase before leaving the parking lot.
- Review the detected items and job assignments.
- Record refunds against the same job.
- Check the job pulse before promising more work or buying more material.
