Job pricing

Price the job on what it actually costs you.

Build a price from the parts you really buy and the labour you really pay, with the trip charge and break-even built in. Your team can quote all day. Only the owner sees the margin underneath.

Most service work is priced from a number somebody remembers.

A trip charge set years ago. A part marked up by whatever felt right. A labour estimate based on how long the job took the last time it went well. Every one of those is a guess, and a company can run a full year of guesses without noticing that a whole category of work loses money on every call.

The pricing calculator replaces the guessing. Parts come from your own price book at what you actually paid, with a retail figure derived from your own multipliers. Labour is costed at the rate payroll will genuinely pay for that job type — not a rounded-off average — and bills in half-hour increments. The service call fee covers the first hour, and the calculator knows the break-even point where a job stops paying for itself.

Visibility is split on purpose. The people who build quotes can add work items, pick parts and set the price. What a technician earns and what the job makes are gated to the owner. A quoter never needs to see a tech's pay rate to do their job, so they do not.

  • Parts priced from your own price book, at what you actually paid
  • Retail derived from your own multipliers — with an off switch when you want to set a price by hand
  • Labour costed from the real payroll rate for that job type, billed in half hours
  • Service call fee covers the first hour, and the break-even point is explicit
  • Cost and margin visible to the owner only, never to the person building the quote
  • Type-ahead part search straight from the price book
  • Prices flow into the quote or invoice without being retyped

How it works

Quote fast, and know what the job makes.

🔩

Real part costs

Search your price book as you type. The number that lands is what you actually paid for that part, not a list price.

⏱️

Real labour costs

Labour is costed at the rate payroll will genuinely pay, in half-hour increments, so the estimate and the paysheet agree.

🚚

The trip charge that holds

The service call fee covers the first hour and cannot be quietly discounted away by rounding somewhere else.

🔐

Margin is owner-only

Your team prices the work. Cost and margin stay behind an owner-level permission, so nobody prices around a number they should not see.

Frequently asked questions

Can the office see what technicians are paid?

No. Building a quote needs the work items and the parts, not the pay rates behind them. Cost and margin are gated to the owner, and the quoting screens simply do not render them for anyone else.

Where do part prices come from?

Your own parts price book, built from your real distributor invoices. Retail is derived from multipliers you set, and you can override any single price by hand.

Does the quoted labour match what we actually pay out?

That is the point. Labour is costed from the same per-job-type rate catalog that produces crew paysheets, so the estimate and the payout come from one number rather than two.

Can we still discount a job?

Yes — a discount is a real negative line on the document, capped at a percentage you set, so it shows on the customer's copy and in your own margin instead of vanishing into a rounded total.
