What each asset costs to keep running, tracked at the work order level

Depreciation tells you what an asset is worth on paper. Operational cost tells you what it costs to keep running. 4Site tracks both, and ties them to the same asset.

4Site accumulates operational cost by asset as work happens: labor, parts, and purchases consumed by each job. By project or by asset, the cost of keeping equipment in service is visible without pulling it from a general ledger line. 4Site also maintains a fixed-asset register that tracks depreciation alongside that operating cost, so the capital picture sits next to what the asset costs to run.

How operational cost accumulates in 4Site

Every closed work order in 4Site carries its cost. Those costs roll to the asset and accumulate across jobs and project lines. The operations finance partner can see what each piece of equipment has cost to keep in service. Maintenance work orders carry labor, storeroom issues carry parts cost, and purchase receipts carry spend.
