Integrations

Does Spectr integrate with Jonas?

Yes. Spectr lists Jonas as an accounting integration, not a rival GL. Keep Jonas for construction finance and job cost. Use Spectr for CAD-to-BOM, shop, crates, and install — then feed better actuals into the books.

Key facts

  • Jonas strength is construction finance and job cost.
  • A GL will not generate a cutlist from Rhino or scan a crate on a swing stage.
  • Job cost is only as good as the operational actuals you feed it.
  • Spectr is not positioned as an accounting replacement.

How shops handle this

  1. Keep the ledger stable
    Do not restart finance to fix the brake schedule.
  2. Push hours and issues from the shop
    Originate where work happens.
  3. Stop dual-entering receipts
    One receive, one quantity.
  4. Review one closed job together
    Controller and PM, same story.

Common questions

Why not just use Jonas more heavily?

Because it is not a CNC schedule or a crate map.

Can we run both?

That is the intended pattern for many shops.
