Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have different labor rates for different services?
Yes, you can set different hourly rates for different service categories. For example, electrical work might have a higher rate than oil changes. You can also vary rates by technician skill level.
How do parts markups work?
You can set markup rules based on part cost ranges. For example, parts under $10 might have a 100% markup, while parts over $500 might have a 25% markup. You can also set markups by supplier or part category.
What are canned jobs?
Canned jobs are pre-built service packages with predefined parts and labor. When you add a canned job to an estimate, all the line items are added automatically with correct pricing. Great for common services like oil changes or brake jobs.
Can I override pricing on individual jobs?
Yes, the system applies your default pricing rules, but you can always adjust prices on individual line items. This lets you give discounts or adjust for job complexity.
How do I track if my pricing is profitable?
Margin reports show your profit on each job, by service type, and over time. You can see which services are most profitable and identify where you might need to adjust pricing.
