Closed Start/Resume → Stop/Complete intervals supply actual labor hours. Recorded completion supplies splice and cable-entry quantities. Company rate cards hold separate unit cost, selling price, tax, currency and billable status, by role, individual or custom work type. Review actual cost, billable net and estimated margin. Missing rates stay visible; running timers remain provisional and invoiced entries stay locked.

Your work has a cost. Make it visible.
Try the calculation with illustrative rates. In XANDER, closed work intervals and recorded completion quantities feed the job ledger.

Work costs & margin visibility
See the cost of doing the work, not only the invoice value.
The everyday problem
A profitable-looking invoice can hide unrecorded labor or a selling price that ignores real execution cost. Rebuilding quantities later from notes makes it harder to see what the job actually consumed.
How XANDER helps
XANDER derives labor from closed work intervals and quantities from recorded completion. Company rate cards separate unit cost from selling price, with billable status and tax. The job view brings actual cost, billable net and estimated margin together; missing prices remain visible.
Who benefits—and how
For the team: record work in its operational context so the office does not have to ask everyone to reconstruct time after completion.
For the manager: compare cost with billable value, review missing rates and inspect the source of each generated item before invoicing.
For the company: make underpriced work and unbilled eligible items easier to identify. This supports pricing review; estimated margin is not a complete accounting profit calculation.
A practical situation
Example: a job includes eight closed labor hours, 24 completed splices and two closure cable entries. Apply separate company rates. Do not count cable entry once per fiber or charge the same labor twice through both hourly and splice rates.
How to evaluate the benefit
Measure unpriced entries, time spent assembling a cost report, unbilled eligible work and differences between planned and recorded cost.
Benefits describe intended operational value. No measured saving or guaranteed return is implied.
