Told at 90% of the quote, not after the job overruns.

The agent watches the cost on every live job in BigChange, Joblogic or Simpro. When labour, materials or a PO take a field service job past 90% of its quote, Marie and a director get a text with the job, the figure and the PO that did it.

Questions about cost alerts

It starts from your job system: a webhook from BigChange, Joblogic or Simpro when a cost is added, or a check on a schedule, as often as every 5 minutes. Each run reads the job's cost and its quote live, so the percentage is never out of date.

Yes. Say it in the sentence: 85%, 90%, or a different line for reactive and project work. Change it later in a sentence and Agent Builder updates the step. Monday's report can use its own line, such as 75%.

Whoever you name: the contracts manager, a director, the engineer's manager. Texts go from your business's number, or as a WhatsApp to someone on the team. Each text names the job, the figure and the PO that took it over.

The text does not wait for an answer. In the example, Marie asked for new POs on the job to come to her first, so they go to her to approve. Approval steps can be answered from the Runs panel or by email, and every run is logged.

No. Costs, POs and quotes stay in BigChange, Joblogic or Simpro. Centrus reads them as they are posted and writes back only where you allow it. Nobody has to keep a separate cost tracker up to date.
