User Management Across Multiple Branch

This powerful feature enables administrators to monitor which employees have access to multiple branches, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information related to those locations.
How It Works:

Job Stages
Introducing Default Job Management
To further enhance workflow efficiency and provide businesses with greater flexibility, Bridge LCS now includes three powerful default Job Stages. These stages provide a more structured approach to job management, ensuring that every job is handled with precision, and that all financial requirements are clearly defined and easily managed.
Available Default Job Stages
- Stage 1: The most comprehensive stage, requiring all essential documents such as Supplier Invoice, Cost Sheet, and Final Invoice. This ensures a complete and error-free financial record for each job, leaving nothing to chance.
- Stage 2: Offers flexibility by allowing jobs to proceed without a Supplier Invoice while still requiring the Cost Sheet and Final Invoice. This stage is perfect for situations where external supplier invoices are not necessary but financial clarity is still paramount.
- Stage 3: Focuses on simplicity, requiring only the Cost Sheet and Final Invoice. Ideal for jobs that don’t involve external supplier billing, this stage offers a streamlined approach to financial processing without unnecessary paperwork.
By selecting the most suitable stage for each job, businesses can enhance financial management and eliminate errors, all while improving operational efficiency.
