Small business job costing without heavyweight ERP
Small shops and job shops need to know if a job is on track before it closes. They rarely need a full ERP footprint. They need clear job numbers and a short path to answers.
LiteLedger focuses on jobs, purchase orders, receiving, time, and simple work order outputs when you need them. Setup stays practical so you can use it, not babysit it.
Simple setup, practical visibility
You can start with a few jobs and grow. Quoted, committed, and actual stay visible as you add POs and log time. The goal is less spreadsheet chase, not more software theater.
Here's what that looks like in practice.

Small shops need clear signals, not another system to babysit.
