Margin intelligence

Know your margin on every client and project.

Revenue, expenses, net profit, and margin percentage broken down by client and by project — updated in real time as time is logged and invoiced. See where you grow, and where you renegotiate.

Who it's for

  • MSP owners pricing new agreements
  • Service managers identifying loss-leader clients
  • Finance teams reporting margin by service line
  • Account managers choosing where to expand

The problem it solves

Top-line revenue is easy. Margin is hard — and most service businesses guess. Loss-leader clients hide inside big revenue numbers. Pricing decisions get made on instinct. Year-over-year, the same accounts quietly eat margin.

How it works

The flow, end to end

1

Cost roll-up from time

Loaded technician cost + overhead allocation + parts/pass-through assemble automatically per project.

2

Revenue tie-in from invoicing

Invoiced revenue ties back to the underlying tickets, projects, and agreements.

3

Margin per dimension

Slice by client, project, agreement, technician, or service line — drill into the underlying records.

What teams actually get

The specific outcomes service teams see when they put Profitability to work.

Example workflow

A typical run-through

  2. 2.Sort by margin ascending — the bottom 20% surface immediately.
  3. 3.Drill into a client; the projects driving low margin appear.
  4. 4.Decision: re-price at renewal, expand scope, or churn intentionally.
