What was planned,
what actually happened.
Per order and per line item, you calculate labor, materials, and machine costs. As soon as the workshop gets to work, Gantway compares plan and actual — down to the hour, down to the euro.
Friday, 5 p.m., the built-in cabinet has been signed off. The post-costing shows: 28 hours calculated, 31 needed — the extra effort is in the veneer. For the next cabinet, you factor it in.
Was diese Funktion macht
Costing begins with the quote and runs seamlessly through to sign-off: whatever you enter for hours, materials, and machine costs becomes the plan on the order — and every booked minute, every material withdrawal writes the actual figure right next to it. The margin panel shows the current status at all times, color-coded: green on plan, yellow for small deviations, red once ten percent over. A frozen baseline preserves the original plan, even when things are rescheduled later. This way, every completed order becomes a better costing basis for the next.
Was Sie damit können
Costing is a cycle, not a form.
Pre-costing in four categories
Labor (employees × hours × hourly rate), materials (quantity × sales price), machine (duration × machine hourly rate), and miscellaneous (free-text line items). Individually per task or aggregated across the order.
Automatic overhead surcharges
Overhead is calculated automatically as a percentage surcharge — not typed in manually per line item. Each tenant sets up its standard surcharges in the settings (e.g. "20% on production costs"). For special cases, the surcharges can be overridden individually per order or line item.
Post-costing from real bookings
As soon as employees book time or material is withdrawn, it flows automatically into the post-costing. No double entry, no Excel reconciliation, no forgotten slips of paper.
The plan comes from the order planning
The plan value is aggregated from an order's scheduled tasks — start, end, planned duration, planned material. When the order is released, a frozen snapshot is created. This snapshot is permanently the comparison value for actual bookings — even if the planner reschedules later.
Plan-vs-actual comparison per line item
Per order, per task, per cost category. With the difference in euros and percent, color-coded. You see immediately where things are getting out of hand.
Margin panel with live update
Live comparison between calculated costs and the quote total. Margin in euros and percent — shown before, during, and after every order.
Baseline as a comparison basis
A baseline can be set for every order — it serves as the comparison basis for plan and actual. The planner can reset it at any time when the planning changes substantially; the old baseline is then replaced by the new one.
Controlling overview across all orders
A list of all orders with plan, actual, difference, quote price, and margin. Sortable, filterable — your monthly overview, without Excel workshops.
Anwendungsfälle
So nutzen Sie es.
Drei typische Situationen.
Costing before the quote
You calculate an order per line item: 12 h labor, 320 € material, 4 h machine. The software adds it up, and you see your margin in real time.
Weekly controlling
Friday afternoon — you open the controlling overview. Three orders are green, one yellow, one red. On the red one you click in and see that the machine hours are 40% over plan.
Improving costing rates
After three months you notice: for joinery work you always need 15% more hours than calculated. You adjust your hourly rate or your buffer times — data-driven instead of by gut feeling.
