Your techs track materials on paper, hours on a clipboard, and overhead is allocated by gut feel. Job costing happens in a spreadsheet two weeks after the job closed — if it happens at all. Zero Double Entry means every cost is captured live so you always know your margin before the invoice goes out.
Key Finding: Independent workflow analysis indicates that unresolved job cost tracking issues in Appliance Repair operations hinder efficiency. Research shows that Mid-sized contracting operations lose up to 18% of budgeted margins due to post-completion cost reconciliation lags [1].

Appliance repair techs visit 6–10 homes per day, documenting model numbers, failure symptoms, parts used, and warranty claim information at each stop. Paper work orders that lose the model number or have an illegible serial number mean OEM warranty claims get rejected — turning covered repairs into out-of-pocket losses that the tech or the shop absorbs.
Objective third-party statistics and research benchmarks relative to job cost tracking and appliance repair workflows.
An appliance repair tech completes 8 jobs in a day. Parts were pulled from the van without job-specific tracking. Labor time was estimated rather than measured. The owner reconciles week's job cost on Friday and can't account for $180 in parts.
Appliance repair businesses with untracked van parts run 8–15% parts shrinkage per week. At $3,000/week in parts cost, that is $14K–$23K/year in unrecovered material cost.
On average, field service contractors underestimate job costs by 15–20%. On a $200K/month revenue base, that blindness costs $30K–$40K in unrecovered margin per year.
These tools are great at what they do — but they don't eliminate the job cost tracking gap. That's what we build.
We study exactly where job cost tracking happens in your appliance repair operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry points.
Not a demo. Not a slide deck. A real, functional prototype that eliminates the pain point and works with your existing tools.
You test the prototype on a real job. If it doesn't eliminate the job cost tracking problem, you don't pay.
