You bought the software. We make sure you actually get value from it.
Most Jobpac users we meet have the system — they just aren't getting the most out of it. The system hasn’t been looked at since it was implemented and workarounds in spreadsheets do the work the system was meant to do. We audit how Jobpac is actually being used, find the gaps, and rebuild the workflows around how your team really works.
Where we usually find the leaks.
After sixteen years inside Jobpac across hundreds of construction businesses, the gaps cluster in predictable places. The audit tells us which ones are yours.
Modules switched off.
You're paying for plant, or the BFM that are no longer used or aren't being used as intended.
Excel doing system work.
Critical information is being controlled in spreadsheets because the users have gone maverick on you or people have left the business and Jobpac processes have fallen away or configuration changes haven’t been looked at.
Days to compile a P&L.
Project Reporting is critical to controlling your costs and WIP versus CWIP. When we have established that, we can then forecast our costs that haven’t been committed. If it isn’t in Jobpac, it doesn’t exist.
Around the system, not through.
Invoices are not being connected to POs in the system? Users are sending PO’s outside of the system instead of through it? Audit trail is patchy and impossible to defend.
Five-year-old chart of accounts.
Cost code library or chart of accounts hasn't been touched in years and is no longer a good fit for your project job costing.
People inventing workflows.
People hired post-implementation never got proper training and have invented their own way of doing things.
How an audit actually runs.
A senior consultant spends two to three days inside your business. We sit with the people doing the work, not just the executives. We watch a real claim cycle, a real month-end, a real project setup. You get a written audit at the end — ranked findings, remediation effort, expected payback.
Four steps. No surprises. No bait‑and‑switch.
Every Buoy engagement runs the same way — fixed scope, senior consultant, full transparency end‑to‑end.
We listen first.
A no-cost call. We learn your current Jobpac setup, what's hurting most, and what's already worked. You're talking to the senior consultant who'd actually do the work — not a sales person reading off a script.
You get a fixed-scope proposal.
Deliverables, timeline, price, and the named senior consultant who'll lead the engagement — in writing, within a week. No “T&E to be confirmed.” The price is the price.
Senior consultant on the keys.
The person on the proposal does the work. Not a junior. Not a partner who hands it down. Weekly written status, risks called out the week they emerge — not the week before go-live.
Your team owns it when we leave.
Documentation, hands-on training, and a structured handover — written so your team can run it long after we're gone. Optional ongoing same-day support after handover, but you're never locked in.
We thought we knew where the inefficiencies were. After two days, Buoy gave us a list of seventeen ranked findings — the first three paid back in the first quarter.
What an audit actually delivers.
What people usually ask.
How does the audit actually work?
A senior consultant spends two to three days inside your business — not in a meeting room reading slide decks, but sitting with the people doing the work. We watch a real claim cycle, a real month-end, a real project setup. At the end you get a written audit with twelve to twenty findings, each ranked by effort to fix and expected payback.
Do you fix the issues yourselves, or just identify them?
Either. The audit is the same price whether you take the findings and execute them in-house, or hand the remediation back to us. We're equally happy doing the remediation work or coaching your team through it. Most clients fix the highest-payback items with us and tackle the rest themselves.
What does an audit typically cost?
Audits are based on the size of the business. We provide you a quote so no surprises.
We think we already know what's broken — is the audit still worth it?
Usually yes. After sixteen years of doing this, the patterns are predictable — but the specific findings inside your business almost always include things the people running the system every day no longer see. We've never finished an audit without surfacing material issues the client didn't know about.
Will this disrupt our finance team's day-to-day?
Minimally. The audit runs alongside normal operations. We need to watch the work happening — not interrupt it. People feel observed for a day or two, but the audit doesn't stop anyone from doing their job.
Is this only for businesses already running Jobpac?
Yes. Process improvement assumes you have the system installed and being used. If you're considering Jobpac but not yet on it, you want the implementation conversation instead.
Suspect Jobpac isn't pulling its weight?
