Your Competitor Knows Their Numbers
While you're guessing at job profitability, they're tracking every dollar. They know which jobs make money. They're underbidding you where it matters and out-profiting you everywhere else.
The Hidden Costs Eating Your Profits
Untracked material spending is one of the biggest profit leaks in field service businesses.
No Paper Trail
Materials bought but no record of what, when, or for which job. Receipts lost in truck cabs and pockets.
Supplier Confusion
Techs buying from whoever's closest, not who has the best pricing. No consistency, no leverage.
Budget Overruns
Job costs explode because material spending isn't tracked until after the fact. Profit margins shrink.
Reconciliation Nightmare
Matching receipts to jobs takes hours at month end. Something always doesn't add up.
Unauthorized Purchases
Anyone can buy anything without approval. No control over spending until the credit card bill arrives.
Commission Complications
Techs paid on revenue, but material costs aren't factored in. You're paying commission on parts you bought.
