Your pricebook hasn't kept up with your vendors

3 ways AP / Job Costing will improve with AI

Most shops treat job costing like a report card.

The job closes. The invoice comes in a week later. Someone enters it. The numbers get reconciled. By then, that call is ancient history and nothing about it can be fixed.

Job costing as a lagging indicator is not job costing. It's accounting after the fact.

What we’ve built changes that. Vendor invoices hit your inbox, get parsed line by line, matched to the right ServiceTitan job, and posted to your books the same day they land. Equipment, materials, PO references, all of it.

Your job costs are current before the week is out. Your pricebook updates when vendors raise prices. You see real GP on every job, not estimates.

That's where we are now.

But here's what we're building toward.

When you process thousands of vendor invoices across hundreds of jobs, you start to see something most shops never see: what things actually cost across the market, not just what you paid.

We know what Ferguson charged one shop for a Carrier unit and what another shop paid for the same unit from a different supplier. We know when copper spiked in a specific region and which shops absorbed it and which ones didn't. We know which vendors are consistently off on pricing and which ones are reliable.

That data is the foundation for the next evolution of this product.

1. Negotiating with vendors -
If you're consistently paying above market rate for equipment or materials, you shouldn't have to figure that out yourself. We should surface it, flag it, and eventually be in a position to use consolidated purchasing volume across our network to give you ammo to negotiate better rates for your shop.

2. Sourcing smarter vendors -
If a comparable unit is available at a meaningfully lower price from a supplier you're not currently using, that's information you should have before the job, not after. The goal is surfacing those options automatically, so every purchasing decision is an informed one.

3. Real-time price adjustment -
Your quotes should never lag the market. When material costs move, your pricing should move with them, automatically, based on rules you set. Not next quarter. The same week the invoice lands.

The shops that win on margin over the next five years will not be the ones with the best gut instincts on pricing. They will be the ones with the best data, running the fastest feedback loops between what jobs cost and what they charge.

That is what we are building.

If you want to see where we are today and where this is headed, let's talk.
