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.
