maestro*ERP vs myJobManager

maestro*ERP is an integrated management platform for construction contractors, covering projects, accounting, payroll, billing, tools and equipment. It is available in the cloud or on-premises, and customers can choose modules and functionality for their business requirements. Project management tracks costs, schedules, resources, communications and progress against planned and actual data. Accounting connects information across modules to reduce duplicate data entry. Field teams can use maestro*MOBILE on Android and iOS to access project information and capture time, documentation, production and delivery data; the mobile app also connects with Outlook and Google Maps. Workflow approvals cover purchasing, inventory transfers, subcontractor contracts, sales, disbursements and billing, among other processes. Dashboards, a report generator and a form generator present project and financial information. Project billing supports progressive, flat-rate and cost-plus methods. Payroll supports construction committees and unions and connects to the CCQ for rate updates. Pricing is available on request, and mobile-user capacity is limited by the licenses purchased.

myJobManager combines job management, accounting, payroll, CIS, VAT, and statutory accounts for UK firms. Quotes can move into scheduled jobs, with a sales pipeline, task assignments, timesheets, purchase orders, and live job costing to track work. Its iOS and Android field app supports timesheets, photos, signatures, expenses, RAMS sign-off, and AI receipt scanning. Stock features cover multiple locations, picking lists, work-in-progress tracking, reorder alerts, and Bills of Materials. The platform submits VAT, payroll RTI, and CIS returns to HMRC and files statutory accounts with Companies House. It also lists DVLA fleet management integration and NEST pension auto-enrolment. Pricing is £30 per user per month for one to five users, or £25 per user per month for six or more; prices exclude VAT. The monthly contract can be cancelled any time. A free sandbox account requires no payment card, and no trial duration is stated.
