Jonas Enterprise Time Saving!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using Jonas for all our accounting needs (GL, payroll, AR, AP, job cost and service work order). It is all interfaced and easy to use.
Pros
- Payroll - upload Union reports are quick and easy saving time with manual calculations
- Service Billing - create service calls and invoice direct from module, saving duplicate data entry
- Job Cost - Tracks costs and revenues for analysing departments, project managers and techs
Cons
- Job Cost Module is very complex. A ton of information; time to discover all of this is sometimes difficult
- Reporting is done by module, would be nice to see one report that can amalgamate 2 different modules such as Job Cost and Service Work order
- More third party software interfaces
Return on Investment
- We saved a lot of time processing payroll and union reporting.
- Went from manually entering AR invoices to automated with Jonas. Save duplicate entry and a lot of time.
- Invoices and statements now sent via email instead of mailing. Cost savings for both postage and person stuffing envelopes etc.
Usability
The Power of Jonas
Pros
- Project Management screens. User-friendly with the ability to look at the project summarized, or drill down to more detail.
- Document management. Extremely quick & simple to attach documents to A/P invoice entry and jobs.
- Customer service is in-house....not a third party. You get to actually talk to Jonas team members that listen to your needs and concerns. It allows them to really stay on the pulse of what the end user is actually looking for and needing.
Cons
- Contact management. Clumsy and not user-friendly.
Return on Investment
- With our service department module now being fully integrated (wasn't before), information is more reliable and current. Jonas has helped our bottom line by saving us over 1,000 hours annually in administrative duties.
