Contract Variations

Most contracts will are subject to variations. Variations can sometimes be specified in very informal ways as well as through more formal channels. In either case, with OfficeHub, contract variations are logged as they occur in their rightful place - with the project. Each variation is given a state i.e. 'Instruction Requested' or 'Instruction Issued' so it can be monitored until it's final state is settled.

  • Track variations effectively
  • Variation state for simplified management
  • Eliminate lost revenue through missed/forgotten contract changes
