We use cookies to measure how our site is used and, if you allow it, to measure our advertising. Your choice applies to apticconsulting.com and the Aptic app.
Aptic compares every quote with what the job really cost, and shows where materials, drive time, and late payments eat into profit, without you digging through paperwork.
Aptic's offices answer them from your own records, then act on the answer within your settings.
Which jobs actually make money?
Compare each quote with the real labor and materials the job used.
Are our prices keeping up with costs?
Check your price list against what materials and labor cost today.
Why does getting paid take so long?
Find invoices sent late, change orders not billed, and customers who pay slowly.
An example
Booked solid. Margins shrinking.
What these numbers suggest when read together.
Illustrative example
Supplier bills
Materials up 12% since the price list was last updated 14 months ago
Scheduling
Jobs up 15%, crew drive time between jobs up 30%
Invoicing
Average time to get paid up from 24 to 38 days after a job ends
↓
Recommended next step
Prices have not kept up with materials, and crews spend more time driving. Update prices for your five most common jobs, group jobs by area on set days, and review profit per job after a month.
Why this recommendation?
Confidence: Medium-high. Supplier bills and invoices show the cost gap; the effect of drive time is estimated from the schedule.
A full schedule is not the same as profitable work.

Your people and partners
We work with the people you already have.
Aptic does not replace the people who create for your business. We work with your team, designer, or creative agency on design, copy, and other creative work that people make, and with the professionals you already use, like your accountant or attorney. When you need someone new, we can introduce partners we work with.
