Job cost reporting is only useful if it’s current. A job margin report that reflects last week’s labor and invoices — because this week’s data hasn’t been imported from ServiceTrade or BuildOps yet — isn’t a decision-making tool. It’s a history lesson.

When field service data flows automatically into Sage or Acumatica via an ERP integration, the picture changes. Managers see actual job costs the same day work is completed. Accounting sees AR that matches what dispatch invoiced. Everyone works from the same current data.

What Changes with Real-Time Data

Job profitability visibility. Project managers and operations leads can see whether a job is running over budget before it’s done — not in the post-mortem. When labor and material costs hit the ERP job cost module the day work is posted in BuildOps or ServiceTrade, the margin calculation is current.

Collections timing. AR aging that reflects invoices posted to Sage the same day they’re created in your field platform means your collections team can start follow-up faster. No more 5-day lag between invoice in ServiceTrade and invoice in Sage AR.

Payroll accuracy. When field time flows from Rhumbix or ServiceTrade to your ERP or payroll platform automatically, payroll is processed from actual hours — not reconstructed from a timesheet email someone sent Friday afternoon.

The Integration That Makes It Possible

PixisSync builds and manages the connectors between field service platforms and ERPs for contractors. The most common flows:

• ServiceTrade + Sage 100 — daily sync of customers, jobs, invoices, AR
• BuildOps + Sage 100 — work orders, invoices, payroll, POs
• CoreLogic DASH + Sage 300 — restoration job and invoice sync
• Rhumbix + Sage 300 — field time to job cost
