You've got the time tracking data, now what?

Once you’re tracking time (in Jobber or other methods), the next question is: what do you actually do with all that data?

In the latest Masters of Home Service episode, Jerry Jackson and Forrest Derr discuss using weekly time tracking reports not just for payroll, but also for making informed decisions that impact efficiency, profitability, and team culture. (Jump to the 11:07 mark)

Here are a few ideas from the episode to get the conversation started:

• Track unbillable time (like shop hours or supply runs) as its own job to help spot inefficiencies.
• Set SPH (sales per hour) and unbillable time targets for your team—and make them visible.
• Get your team to report their own time and performance metrics to build ownership and accountability.

How are you using time tracking? What changes have you made (or want to make) based on what the data is telling you?
