3 Ways to Track Labor
How Hashio Captures Labor Cost — Sized to Fit Any Facility
Labor is one of the biggest costs in production — and every facility runs it a little differently. Hashio gives you three ways to capture labor cost, so you can match the method to how your team actually works. Use one, or use all three together. Whichever you choose, the cost lands where it belongs — on the batch — and rolls right into the cost of what you produce.
The Three Methods at a Glance
|
Cost Centers on Workflow Steps Team member or supervisor hashes in & out How It Works You build cost centers — fully-loaded hourly rates — and assign them to the steps of your workflows. As team members work a step, they hash in and out. Hours logged × the cost center's rate = absorbed labor and overhead on that batch. Best For Manufacturing and production work that happens in defined workflow steps — kitchen, packaging, extraction, pre-roll, and more. Good to Know The rate lives on the cost center. See the Cost Centers guide for setup and the math behind the rate. | Hourly Rate on the Associate Profile Team member or supervisor hashes in & out How It Works Add an hourly rate directly on a team member's profile. They hash in and out of cultivation locations and plants, and Hashio costs those work sessions — hours × their rate. Best For Cultivation, where labor happens at the plant and location level rather than a workflow step. Currently available for cultivation only. Good to Know The rate lives on the person, not a department. This works hand-in-hand with the newest cultivation updates. | Salary Expense via Accounting Finance / Director applies it How It Works Enter a labor expense in the Accounting module — for example, a QuickBooks salary expense — then allocate it across a span of batches. Split it evenly or by yield, plant count, harvested plants, or days active. Best For Salaried labor and costs that don't map to hash-in / hash-out sessions — applied top-down by your finance or accounting lead. Good to Know You choose which batches share the cost and how the split is calculated — then post it. No manual journal entries needed. |
Coming Soon — Direct Payroll Integrations On the Roadmap We're building direct connections to the payroll platforms your team already uses — Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, and uAttend. These will let Hashio reconcile and apply your actual labor costs automatically, so the numbers on your batches match what you truly paid your team. Don't see your platform? Let us know — we're always expanding our integrations list and would love to look at adding it. |
