Live Job Cost Dashboard

Track labor, OT exposure, and change orders in real time — not in a spreadsheet three weeks later.

Know exactly who is working where, what orders are pending, and what's at risk — without calling seven people on the show floor to find out.

Sound familiar?

These are the problems general contractors face every single event. exhibitERP solves every one of them.

Crew supervisors tracking hours on paper time sheets that get lost

Digital clock in/out with automatic OT calculation and timecard export

Change orders written on napkins that never make it to billing

Change order portal with instant client approval and automatic billing

No idea which shows are profitable until the accounting closes

Real-time job cost reporting with labor, materials, and subs

Crew calling foreman to ask what they're supposed to be doing

Shift assignments visible on worker's phone with job details attached

Subcontractor invoices that don't match what was agreed

Subcontractor time tracking within your system before disputes arise

The operational edge you've been missing

exhibitERP doesn't just digitize your existing process — it gives you capabilities that weren't possible when your team was running on spreadsheets and email.

Real-time
Labor cost visibility
Eliminate Labor Cost Surprises

Know your labor cost before the invoice arrives

Automatic overtime calculation, real-time timecard tracking, and shift cost projections mean you always know what your labor budget looks like — during the show, not after. Catch runaway OT before it runs away.

75%
Faster order routing
Cut Order Processing Time

From service request to fulfilled order in minutes

Exhibitors submit requests through a portal. Orders route to the right crew automatically. Your foreman sees assigned work on their mobile device. No walkie-talkies required to find out what's next.

100%
Audit trail coverage
Protect Yourself with a Full Paper Trail

Every decision, documented automatically

Change orders, approved extras, client sign-offs, and timecard records are all stored and timestamped. When a client disputes a charge six weeks after the show, you have the evidence to back your billing — completely.

Better
Bid accuracy
Win More Bids

Better historical data means better estimates

When your past job costs are tracked in a real system, you can build estimates based on what similar work actually cost — not gut feeling. Better estimates mean better bids. Better bids mean more wins.

Built specifically for how you work

Every feature in exhibitERP for general contractors exists because it solves a real problem that real teams face at real events.

Labor & Crew Management

Maintain a database of your workers with skills, certifications, and availability. Assign crew to jobs by skill match, track hours on each assignment, and manage union versus non-union labor side by side.

Shift Scheduling & Timecards

Build shift schedules, notify workers, and let them clock in/out digitally. Automatic calculations for regular hours, overtime, and double-time apply your labor rules — no manual timecard math.

Order & Job Tracking

Every service request, change order, and job assignment tracked from submission to completion. Your team leads know what's assigned. Your office knows what's billed. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Change Order Management

Capture and price change orders on the spot. Get client approval through the portal. Bill automatically when approved. No more handwritten forms, no more unbilled extras left behind on the show floor.

Subcontractor Coordination

Manage relationships with your trades (electricians, riggers, carpenters) in one CRM. Assign subcontractor work, track their hours against your labor budget, and manage invoices from one place.

Job Cost Reporting

See labor, materials, and subcontractor costs by job, by show, or by client. Compare actual versus estimated costs on every project. Build the institutional knowledge that makes your estimates sharper every year.
