Track job costs for tradesmen
Tracking job costs as you go means you find out the job lost money before you send the invoice — not after. Fixallo gives every job a live cost view so labour, materials and other spending stack up against the quote in real time.
Why it matters
- Costs only get added up at the end, when it's too late to change anything.
- Receipts live in three places: the van, the inbox and the glove box.
- Labour hours are estimated days later.
- Profit by job is a guess until the accountant pulls a report next quarter.
How Fixallo helps
- Track job costs for tradesmen happens against the actual job — not a separate document that gets lost.
- Everything stays linked: customer, quote, time, costs, invoice and reminders.
- Numbers only get typed once. Reports come out clean for VAT and accounts.
