Finance Manager

Varicon provides a Construction Management Dashboard and Reporting tool that gives Finance Managers full visibility across projects and the business. You can access tailored dashboards and reports, including WIP Reports, Earned Value Analysis, and Actual vs Budget comparisons. All views can be grouped, filtered, and exported to CSV for deeper analysis or sharing.

Varicon supports tracking at the project level, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) level, or Cost Centre level. WBS offers detailed tracking that often mirrors the bill of quantities. Cost Centres (e.g., Earthworks, Drainage, Overheads) are used to organise costs in a way that’s meaningful for delivery teams. Even when using Cost Centres, claims and variations are created against the WBS, enabling comparison of revenues and costs.

Traditional systems rely on supplier invoices for cost tracking  often delayed by weeks and prone to errors. Varicon captures costs in real-time, directly from the field, giving Finance Managers and project teams immediate insights. This early visibility helps prevent budget overruns before they happen and supports faster, more confident decision-making.

Yes. Varicon allows you to set up a project budget at the start and track actual costs against it. You can import or modify an “Estimated” or “Construction” budget, which then becomes the baseline. Varicon also offers Production Tracking (cost per unit) and a Forecast Cost to Complete tool that predicts total project cost based on actual data and remaining work.

Varicon makes it easy to create and manage progress claims, variations, and dayworks. Claims are compliant with security of payment acts and include automatic retention calculations. Variations can be tracked through statuses like Approved or Rejected. Dayworks can be created from timesheets or site diaries, signed off on-site or via email, and calculated using agreed rates or exported and added to a variation request.

Yes. Varicon integrates with accounting platforms like Xero and MYOB. Purchase orders and bills can sync directly, and if credit notes are applied, a new bill for the correct amount is created automatically in the accounting system.

Varicon simplifies digital timesheet approvals and payroll. Supervisors can approve timesheets in bulk or individually using mobile, tablet, or web. Payroll can be automated by linking timesheets to labour costs, which are then assigned to cost centres or projects. Varicon supports payroll export and reduces admin with its digital construction timesheets and payroll automation tools.
