Know the true cost of every customer onboarding

Track staff hours, specialist time and third-party costs per customer, then turn those numbers into cost breakdowns, trends and proactive risk flags, so onboarding is no longer a mystery.

The problem

Onboarding a new customer costs real time and money — staff hours, specialist effort, configuration work, travel and third-party fees — but almost none of it gets tracked. It is scattered across email threads, calendars and spreadsheets that nobody maintains, so management can never answer a simple question: what did it actually cost to onboard this customer, and was it worth it?

The solution

Customer Onboarding Cost Tracking gives every onboarding a structured record: itemised cost lines, a clear draft-to-done workflow, an owner and a deadline, and a full audit trail. Costs roll up automatically and turn into visual breakdowns, trends and proactive overdue/over-budget flags, so the numbers tell you something instead of just sitting in a cell.

Capabilities

Everything you need to see onboarding cost clearly

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Itemised Cost Tracking

Log hours, hourly rate and flat other costs on itemised lines per onboarding, with labour cost and subtotal computed automatically.

03

Team Assignment & Deadlines

04

A dedicated chart shows exactly where onboarding money goes — staff, specialists, configuration, travel and more.

06

Cost & Customer Trends

Pivot and trend views reveal which customers cost the most to onboard and how spend changes over time.

07

Proactive Risk Flags

Onboardings that run past their deadline or over budget are flagged automatically, so problems surface before you have to go looking.

08

Ready-Made Templates

Start every onboarding from a template with pre-built cost lines instead of a blank record, so the process stays consistent.

09

Multi-Company & My Records

Each company only sees its own onboardings, and a one-click filter lets every user jump straight to the records they own.
