Busy crews should mean healthy margins.
Compare quotes with what each job really cost. See where materials, travel, and late payments eat into profit, without digging through paperwork yourself.
Three questions worth answering.
Bring your records together to see the full picture.
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.
Booked solid. Margins shrinking.
What these numbers suggest when viewed together.
-
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.
What Aptic reads in a trade business.
Connections are read-only by default. Changes need separate permission.
- Estimates and job records: quotes, jobs, and change orders
- Scheduling and timesheets: crew hours and travel between jobs
- Suppliers and purchasing: material costs and price changes
- Accounting and invoicing: invoices, payments, and how long customers take to pay

We work with the people you already have.
Aptic does not replace the people who create for your business. We work with your team or agency on design, copy, and other creative work that people make, and with the professionals you already use, like your accountant or attorney.
