We have a released an update to MEC and here’s what you can expect:

1. Change Orders   You now have the capability to create and send Change Orders to customers that can be e-signed off. This new feature can be turned on from the Company/Features page.  Simply modify the Job’s original item estimate value and you are ready to Preview or Send. 

2. Resource Documents     A new Tab has been added to the Resource page which can be used to store documents and images relating to a resource.    This is a great place to store items like employment contracts, copies of ID documents, tax info and pretty much anything related to a Resource you need to have on record.   In the Address tab you can now store Emergency Contact information too.

3. Compliance Information     – If you have resources  you can now store compliance information in the new ‘Compliance’ tab.   Information such as IRS W9, General Liability & Workman’s Comp certificate information, and Insurance policy Information, with expiry dates, can be stored here.

4. Scheduler – The rule that restricted resources to the same start & end date as the job has been removed.   You can now assign any resource to any date on the resource scheduler without impacting the Job Start & End dates, or, continue to use the Job Dates by clicking a checkbox.

5. Cost Codes    MEC has been expanded and now incorporates the full set of NAHB Cost Codes.  This optional feature allows you to assign, group and report on Materials & Labor using standard Cost Codes.

6. Crew Calendar – The calendars can now be scrolled horizontally.
