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 Medical & Biomedical Equipment Service 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].

Biomedical technicians work in a zero-tolerance documentation environment — the Joint Commission, FDA, and CMS all audit equipment maintenance records, and a missing PM record on a ventilator or infusion pump can trigger a deficiency citation that puts hospital accreditation at risk. Paper-based work orders and manual PM tracking systems are not just inefficient; they are a direct patient safety liability.
Objective third-party statistics and research benchmarks relative to job cost tracking and medical & biomedical equipment service workflows.
A biomed tech completes a preventive maintenance visit on a 6-bed ICU's infusion pump fleet — 18 pumps, 4 hours of labor, calibration materials. Parts and consumables were pulled from a shared shop cart. The PM reconciles job cost a week after the facility sign-off.
Medical equipment service jobs with untracked consumables and shared parts allocation have average cost variances of 10–18% — invisible until reconciliation and unrecoverable after the facility invoice is issued.
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 medical & biomedical equipment service 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.
