Variance Reports

PRINTJOBMANAGER > Knowledge Base Documentation

Time Variance Reporting is a very important tool when measuring any company’s activities. Comparing a company’s actual times to their estimated times generates a time variance. With time variance reporting the user has the ability to review this variance by comparing the company’s activities or processes actual times in relation to the estimated times. This allows the user to make good business decisions regarding equipment, labor and pricing.
