Sound familiar?
You hear about a bad job weeks later
By the time the month closes, the crew has run the same job type the same way a dozen more times.
Tech conversations start from a guess
Without real labor and material on each job, it's hard to show a tech exactly where a job went sideways.
The price book drifts behind the supply house
A vendor raises a cost, the price book stays the same, and margin quietly shrinks on every job that uses it.
Catch the bad job this week, not next month.
Weekly profit by tech and job type means you can coach the crew and fix a price while it still matters. Every fix carries forward to every job after it.
The cost of waiting, one problem that starts in week 1

FAQs
Don't see your question? Talk to us and we'll walk through anything specific to your shops.
Can I see profit by tech, business unit, or branch?
Yes. You can cut profit by job, tech, job type, business unit, and branch.
How often do I see the numbers?
Every week, job by job, so you can act on a job while it still matters instead of waiting for the month to close.
What is a Pay Pack?
A personal pay report each employee gets before payroll runs. It breaks their check down job by job: hourly, overtime, commissions, spiffs, and gross margin, so every dollar is explained.
Will Volca change my price book without approval?
You decide. Volca can send each price change to your team for approval by email, Slack, or Teams. With Pricing Analyst+, approved changes are pushed to your price book automatically. Either way, items that are missing from the price book can be created as invoices arrive.
