Costline records labour and materials against the cost centres, activities and people that used them — at the rates that applied on the day of the work. Past entries don’t change when rates do.

These are the two screens that make it work: rate changes are added as dated versions, and every log entry stores the amount that was resolved when it was recorded.
Updating a rate adds a version with an effective date. Earlier versions stay.
The resolved rate and total are stored on the log itself, permanently.
Pick your industry, then name your cost centres, people, rate types, activities and materials. Most teams are set up in under 15 minutes.
Record time and materials against the work that used them. Rates and prices resolve automatically, as they stood on the day of the work.
Cost per centre, labour against materials, trends over time — built from the amounts stored on each log.
A rate change is a new version with an effective date, not an edit. Past logs keep the rate that applied on their work date.
Hours and materials are logged against the cost centre, activity and person that used them — that's where the cost lands.
Cost centres, rate types, activities and materials are all defined by you. Works for farms, sites, workshops and project teams.
Reports aggregate the amounts stored on each log — they are never recalculated from today's rates.
Set up your cost centres and log a day’s work — you’ll know within an afternoon whether it fits.
