Adding this to the job quote would be the greatest change they have done to the software. Further more if the labor total inputted was calculated in the job cost at the bottom where it generate the profit total that would be great. Would allow for easy digestion of data in terms of calculating job profitability.
Currently jobber displays profit as Job cost - Material costs. Which is giving an incorrect display of actual profit. Only work around to have a real profitability percentage would be displaying labor rate as a line item, which then causes issues with clients.
Best outcome:
Example:
Material cost = X
Labor rate cost=X
Profitability= X-Material cost+ Labor rate
Hours tracked on job by signing in would furthermore help determine actual profitability. Also given if labor rate was able to be inputted such as material costs are such as:
Example: Actual labor cost with overhead = $25
Labor with markup = X
This would make jobber outperform all other sources of job estimating and profitability tracking. I've been reaching out to them for a year begging them to do this, clearly they don't care/don't have enough people asking for this to make a simple change.
