Know which job is bleeding before your coffee is cold.
Backlog, projected profit, productivity, over/under billing and cash tied up in retention, on one screen. Under them, a short list of plain-English warnings ranked by dollars, each with the button that fixes it.
On every plan.
What it does
- 01
Five numbers, not fifty
Backlog with months of work left, projected gross profit against bid, company productivity factor, net over/under billing, and AR plus retention receivable. Click any one for the breakdown by job.
- 02
Warnings with a dollar amount and a verb
"Labor 58% spent at 40% complete, about $66k over at finish. Review labor." Every warning comes from a rule you can read, so you can check the math.
- 03
Every job on one table
% complete and % spent sit on top of each other for each job, so the gap is the first thing you see. Add the PF chip, the fade sparkline and working days used against the contract.
- 04
Company man-hours by week
Earned hours against actual hours for the last 12 weeks, with the PF for each week. A slide that started three weeks ago shows up as a trend, not a surprise.
- 05
The bid strip
Next bid dates, your hit ratio and the money left on the table over the last 12 months, at the bottom of the same screen.
- 06
Costs stay with the people who need them
Margins, unit costs and labor rates are stripped on the server for roles that should not see them. Foremen never receive them.
In practice
Monday morning, 7:40 AM.
An example with sample numbers.
- 1
You open WorksPro. Backlog is $7.8M, about 7 months of work. Projected margin is 12.1% against 14.0% bid.
- 2
The top warning: Broad Ave labor is running PF 0.82 on wire pull and signal foundations. A crew of 6 has been on a 4-person budget since the 21st.
- 3
One click opens the job's budget burn by cost type. Labor is the red bar.
- 4
You call the PM before the crew rolls. The fix happens in week 6 of 13, not at closeout.
