DCT-OS turns the dockets piling up on your desk into live project costs. Enter the day's plant, labour and materials in seconds, reconcile rates when the invoice lands, and always know where the budget stands. Built by engineers, for engineers.
A quick look at the shortcuts and flow that turn a desk full of dockets into live project cost — see why it's worth it.
No enterprise bloat, no per-seat licence, no two-week onboarding. Open it and start entering dockets.
Three clear axes — Work Orders for client scope, Cost Codes for your budget, Purchase Orders for committed spend. Every docket line lands in the right place.
One docket, many lines — exactly like the delivery slip in your hand. Pick plant and labour from your resource list and the detail fills itself in.
Site dockets carry quantities, not prices. When the invoice arrives, confirm the rates in one screen — and your rate library stays current for next time.
Every cost code shows budget, actual, variance and burn — live, as you enter. No spreadsheet gymnastics, no month-end surprises.
Build a resource library with standard rates, and keep supplier names tidy and consistent. Import what you already have in Excel in one click.
Summarise spend by supplier, tag what you've claimed, and export clean CSV or Excel — ready for the invoice run or the monthly report.
Date, supplier, and the lines off the slip — plant, labour, materials with quantities. Keyboard-driven, seconds per docket.
Open the supplier's summary, check the rates against the invoice, and accept. Costs update everywhere instantly.
Cost codes show live burn; reports group spend for the claim. Export and you're done.
Most cost software assumes a back-office accountant with time to spare. DCT-OS assumes a busy engineer with a stack of dockets and a budget to protect.
DCT-OS is source-available under the Business Source License. Run it on every project you like, at no cost — it converts to a fully open licence over time.
