FAQs

Don't see your question? Talk to us and we'll walk through anything specific to your shops.

Do I need Volca payroll or AP to use job costing?

No. Job costing works on its own with the systems you already run. Payroll and AP are separate products you can add if you want them.

What does Volca put on each exterior job?

Materials, every crew and sub, equipment, disposal, and financing fees land on each project from the systems you already run. Volca puts each cost on the job, business unit, and cost type it belongs to.

How often do I see the numbers?

Every week, job by job, so you can act on a job while it still matters instead of waiting for the month to close.

Do I have to replace my CRM, accounting, or payroll tools?

No. Volca connects to the systems you already run and works alongside them.
