Job Costing Software for Modern Manufacturers

Job costing software helps manufacturers calculate the actual cost of a specific production job by collecting labor, machine time, materials, scrap, quality activity, and other relevant production data. Harmoni connects shop-floor activity with ERP workflows so cost records reflect what occurred at the work center. This gives teams a clearer basis for reviewing margins, estimating future work, and identifying cost variances.

Harmoni improves accuracy by automating the capture of data that is commonly delayed, incomplete, or manually entered. RFID identifies employees and jobs at the machine, while connected equipment supplies machine status, cycle-time, utilization, and downtime information. Labor, production time, scrap, and quality data can then flow into the ERP, reducing reconciliation work and creating a more complete job-level record.

Yes. Harmoni provides native integrations with Epicor, Infor and Infor Visual, ECI JobBoss and JobBoss2, ABAS, and ODOO. Custom integrations for legacy and on-premise ERP systems are available on request. The platform automatically pushes labor records, machine production time, scrap, and quality data into the ERP, supporting job costing, capacity planning, and finance reporting.

Harmoni connects to existing manufacturing equipment without requiring machine replacement. It supports major CNC controls and equipment from Mazak, Haas, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, DMG MORI, Makino, and Fadal. Where available, Harmoni uses MTConnect; adapter layers can support older controls. Compatibility services, documentation, integration support, and on-site startup assistance are available.

A useful manufacturing job-cost record includes actual labor time, machine production time, downtime, scrap, quality results, and ERP transaction data. Harmoni brings these data sources together in a unified operational view. Rather than relying only on planned routing times or after-the-fact entries, teams can compare actual execution with expectations and pinpoint the activities that affect job profitability.

Yes. Harmoni’s long-range RFID technology automatically identifies an operator and the job at the machine, removing the need for manual badge swipes or keyboard entry. The system can begin time-and-attendance tracking, surface the correct instructions, and send time records to the ERP. This reduces administrative work while improving the completeness and traceability of labor data.

Accurate job costing makes scrap visible as a cost driver, while Harmoni’s connected tools help prevent avoidable mistakes. Automated program loading can deliver the correct CNC program, settings, offsets, and revision based on the detected job. Digital work instructions and quality checksheets further support process consistency, helping teams identify quality issues earlier and connect scrap events to the affected job.

Harmoni is designed to deploy in weeks, using existing CNC equipment and supported ERP connections rather than requiring a machine replacement project. Deployment scope depends on the number of machines, controls, ERP workflows, and connected capabilities selected. Compatibility support, documentation, and on-site startup assistance are available to help manufacturers establish reliable data collection and shop-floor adoption.
