Business value and return on investment
Most service companies find out how much they earned at the end of the year, from their accountant. But nobody tells them which job, which route and where the profit went.
For every completed job, RDO compares the plan with reality, in money and in time, so you see in time what is worth pricing or organizing differently.
Job profitability
Every completed job shows the estimated and actual revenue, the cost and the result of the job, in money and as a percentage. The system calculates from working time, hourly rates, materials and issued invoices, and flags when a job is missing data.
In the Statistics view, you see these for a chosen period:
One number to follow month by month to see whether the company is doing better.
The difference between the actual and the estimated result. It shows where your estimates are consistently off.
How much of the team's working hours went on the road. This is the easiest place to save.
See in money what the wasted visits cost.
On-site work, travel and materials, estimated and actual.
How many jobs lost money, and how many brought in more than 40%.
Execution and performance
This feature shows how the planned day actually went: how many jobs were completed, who arrived on time or late, where a visit was unsuccessful, and how much time actually went on travel and work compared with the plan, per route and per technician. It is not about holding technicians to account, but about making the next plan more realistic.
See at a glance where the day stands and what needs attention.
What you gain: a deviation is not lost in a phone call; it has an owner and gets closed.
Compares the plan with measured data, per route and per technician.
What you gain: you see where you underestimate travel or working time, so the next schedule is more accurate.
What is all this for?
Numbers are worth something when they lead to decisions. You get answers to these questions from your own data, not industry averages.
Planning
Measured travel and working times make the next schedule more accurate, and nobody gets an overplanned day.
Execution
Once you see what they cost and why they happen, you can act on them directly.
Completion and invoicing
The system flags when invoicing for a job is incomplete or data is missing.
Evaluation
It turns out which job type you have underpriced for years, and what the market will bear.
The lessons feed back into the next plan
Learn from the past, plan the future: the Business planner also works from the data of completed jobs. Estimate how profit would develop with changes (e.g. a new colleague, taking on more or less work, a price increase).
