Analyze or export your expense trends and total costs
Cost tracking gives you meaningful insight into the who-what-when-where and why of expenses. This information can be used to spot costly practices and sharpen budgets.
Report on costs incurred
Tikkit’s reporting features include the ability to track the Total cost metric across a number of different dimensions. For example, you can answer questions like:
- What has the total cost been for all requests over the past three months in each of my buidlings?
- Over the past 8 weeks, how have my Materials costs compared to my Labor costs?
- So far this year, how do expenses stack up for the requests assigned to each of my service techs?
- …and more
You can also include a total cost metric in a Crosstab report.
How to export total costs
The ability to export total costs is essential for downstream analysis and in particular for integration with an invoicing system.
Downloading total cost records is easy:
- Create a new report.
