Daily Logs & Purchase Orders:

Linking the Field to the Office

Learn how daily logs and purchase orders work together to improve documentation,
track job costs, and provide real-time visibility into project performance.


Why This Matters

The job site generates valuable information every day, but if that information isn't properly documented and connected to your project financials, it becomes difficult to track costs, monitor progress, and maintain accountability.

Many contractors struggle with:
  • Inconsistent job site documentation
  • Missing records of labor, materials, and equipment usage
  • Difficulty tracking project expenses in real time
  • Gaps between field activity and office reporting
  • Limited visibility into actual project costs
When daily logs and purchase orders are used together, they create a clear connection between what's happening in the field and what's happening in your project budget.


What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of this session, you will know how to:
  • Configure and use Daily Logs effectively
  • Track labor, materials, equipment, inspections, and safety meetings
  • Document job site activity in a consistent and organized way
  • Create and manage Purchase Orders
  • Understand how field data connects to project expenses
  • Track costs as they occur throughout the project lifecycle
  • Use Daily Logs and Purchase Orders to improve project visibility and accountability
  • Better understand how project costs flow into financial reporting
This session is designed to help you create a stronger connection between field operations and project financial management.


What to Expect

This is a guided walkthrough of Contractor Foreman's Daily Logs and Purchase Order workflows.We'll cover how to set up and manage
Daily Logs, including tracking people, materials, equipment, inspections, and safety meetings.

From there, we'll show how that information ties directly into Purchase Orders, bills, and project cost tracking to provide a more complete picture of project performance.

By the end of the session, you'll understand how to use these tools together to improve communication, documentation, and financial oversight across your projects.
