Job costing for machine shops without the bloat
Machine shops run on spindle time, tooling, outside processing, and material that shows up on different days. LiteLedger helps you keep those costs on the job instead of scattered across tabs and inboxes.
You log time to the job, tie POs to the job, and receive lines as they arrive. Quoted, committed, and actual stay visible so the shop floor and the office share one picture.
Visibility without heavyweight systems
LiteLedger is job costing software, not a full ERP. You do not get every module under the sun. You get a straightforward way to see job cost as work happens.
Here's what that looks like in practice.
