From quoting blind to every job hour tracked, across two sites.
- 25% → 4%
- unattributed time, in under a year
- 2 sites
- on one system
- 85.2%
- of hours now on a costed job
The situation
Two sign businesses with no software for tracking time. Jobs were quoted from experience, and there was no way to see which ones were losing money.
What we built
Job time tracking set up for both locations, so every hour lands on a job. A monthly support retainer keeps it running across both businesses.
What changed
Full visibility of time against every quote. Quoting and forecasting now run on real numbers. At one of the two businesses, unattributed time fell from 25% to 4% in under a year, 99.7% of hours are billable, and output per person rose 35%.
Before and after
