Sound familiar?
You know revenue. Not profit by job.
The average job looks fine. The losers hide inside the average.
More trucks, same profit
Fuel, routing and idle time eat into every ticket.
Agreements nobody tracks
Maintenance plans renew, or quietly don’t, and nobody’s watching.
Payroll that grew faster than sales
The crew is sized for more revenue than is coming in.
Where the money slips away
Underpriced jobs you keep bidding
Healthy shops clear 20%+ on every job before overhead. Below 10%, the job is close to free labor.
Costs sized for a bigger shop
Payroll above 35% of revenue, or trucks and fuel above 12%, is where profit disappears first.
A cut of every ticket
Processing fees take 2 to 3% of every card payment, and much of it can often be recovered.
The three suites, for your shop
Profit by job, every month
Clean books, job costing and a monthly review, so you know which work pays.
