Know which jobs are making money today.
Every open job, cost against quote, with the ones slipping flagged while there’s still time to act.
Every open job checked every day, without anyone digging through it
IllustrativeOne live job: hours logged against hours allowed on every scope, what gets flagged, and the job pack ready for what’s next. Figures are examples.
You find out at invoice time.
By the time you invoice a job, the hours are logged, the materials are used and the margin is already gone.
The job started going sideways three weeks earlier, when a conversation with the crew or the client could have fixed it. Most trade businesses either dig through their system to check each job, or hope for the best.
A health check on every open job.
ArcPulse compares what each job was quoted with what it has cost so far, and sorts the list so the jobs that need you are at the top.
Healthy
Hours and costs are in line with the quote. Margin above your healthy line, for example 40%.
Watch
Hours creeping or costs running higher than expected. Worth a word with the crew this week.
Flagged
Margin below your floor, for example 25%. You get a flag the day it happens, with the reason.
Everything you need to stay on top of every job.
The thresholds, the alerts and what gets tracked are set up around how your business prices and runs jobs.
- 01
Live job list
Every open job in one view: health, margin, hours logged and progress.
- 02
Early flags
A job that starts going sideways is flagged the day it happens, so an overrun gets caught before it grows.
- 03
Quote against actual
What you quoted next to what’s been spent so far, updated as timesheets and bills come in.
- 04
Hours against estimate
Time logged against the original estimate, so you know a job is running over before it finishes.
- 05
Your thresholds
Set your own healthy line and floor. Pools and retaining walls can carry different targets.
- 06
Variations caught in time
Hours running past the quote often mean extra work nobody priced. It’s flagged while the job’s live, so the variation gets agreed and billed, not absorbed.
Caught before it costs you.
You find out a job is losing money while it’s running, when there’s still something you can do.
Inside what you already run.
ArcPulse reads quotes, timesheets and costs from the systems you already keep them in. Nobody re-enters anything.
