The Profit Blindness Problem
You’re busy. You’re booking jobs. But you have no idea which jobs are profitable and which ones are bleeding you dry.
Profit Blindness
You see revenue, but you don’t see margin. Did that $2,500 job make you $800 in profit or cost you $200 in overruns? You’re flying blind.
Undetected Margin Leakage
Crews taking longer than estimated. Materials costing more than quoted. Drive time eating profit. You don’t find out until it’s way too late.
No Root Cause Visibility
Profit is down this month, but why? Are your estimates wrong? Are crews slow? Is it a client mix problem? You have no diagnostic tools.
Windshield Time Waste
You suspect crews spend too much time driving between jobs, but you can’t prove it. How much money are you losing to inefficient routing?
Reactive Management
By the time you realize a client or service type is unprofitable, you’ve already lost thousands. You need alerts, not hindsight.
The hard truth? You can’t fix what you can’t see. Without real-time profitability data, you’re managing by gut feeling instead of facts.

Frequently Asked Questions
I completed 200 jobs last month but profit seems lower than expected. How do I find out what's going wrong?
Start with the Unprofitable Jobs Alert Widget on your dashboard. This instantly surfaces jobs with negative margins or high cost variances. Click into any flagged job to see the detailed breakdown: estimated vs. actual labor hours, material costs, and drive time. You’ll immediately spot whether the issue is underestimating, crew inefficiency, material overruns, or excessive travel time.
How do I know which of my clients are actually profitable versus which ones just seem busy?
Use the Account Profitability Report to see lifetime revenue, total cost, and gross margin for every client. Sort by margin percentage to find your best and worst performers. You might discover that a client with 50 small jobs per year is less profitable than a client with 12 larger jobs—because the smaller jobs have higher overhead per visit. This data helps you decide which clients to prioritize for upsells and which to renegotiate pricing with.
My crews seem to take longer than I estimate. Is it the estimates or the crews?
Check the Crew Performance Metrics report. This compares estimated labor hours vs. actual labor hours for each crew and team member. If one crew consistently hits estimates while another runs 20% over, it’s a crew efficiency issue. If all crews consistently exceed estimates by the same percentage, your estimating formula needs adjustment. The report breaks down performance by service type, so you can see if specific job categories are systematically underestimated.
How much money am I losing to drive time between jobs?
The Route Analytics dashboard quantifies windshield time by crew and calculates the cost based on your labor rates. For example, if your crew spent 15 hours driving last week at $25/hour labor cost, that’s $375 in non-billable expense. The system also shows average drive time per job and highlights routes with excessive travel. Use this data to optimize scheduling—grouping jobs geographically can cut windshield time by 30% or more.
I want to share profitability data with my accountant. Can I export reports?
Yes. All reports in Business Analytics can be exported to CSV or PDF. The Job Profitability Report includes columns for job ID, client, service type, estimated cost, actual cost, revenue, margin %, and variance. The Account Profitability Report includes client name, total jobs, total revenue, total cost, and lifetime margin. Export the data and share directly with your accountant or bookkeeper for reconciliation and tax planning.
