Where it fits

Step 06 of the job: paid

The customer pays by card, Apple Pay or Direct Debit. Xero or QuickBooks are updated. A review request goes out. And eleven months later, the annual service reminder books the next job.

Reporting & Analytics is where profit reports sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

What are profit reports for?

Revenue, cost and margin by job, by engineer, by customer and by trade Labour costed from recorded time, materials from what was actually used

How accurate is profit per job?

As accurate as what goes in: labour from recorded time, materials from what was actually added, expenses and subcontractor cost against the job. It will not guess at overheads you have not told it about.

Can I get the numbers out?

Every report exports to CSV, and the report builder lets you pick your own fields and filters. Your accountant gets a file, not a screenshot.

Which plan is it on?

Every paid plan. Profit reports is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
