The numbers find you

Your numbers, explained, in your inbox.

An owner running the garage as a business has a lot of questions, and they are specific. What are we really getting per hour? Which work made money last month? How much work did we advise that never got booked? Most systems answer with a pile of reports you have to find, cross-reference and decode. GarageRevs answers the questions themselves, from your own jobs and invoices, and sends the ones you care about to you, as often as you want them, properly presented, in plain English.

Ask an owner how the business is doing and you get a familiar story. There is a report for it somewhere. Finding it takes a while, and the figure that comes back is a percentage nobody can quite explain without working the formula out by hand. So the question that started it, which was usually a simple one, gets answered by the accountant in the spring, months after the fact.

The problem was never a shortage of data. It is that the owner is left to turn it into an answer. That is the job GarageRevs takes on.

The questions, answered

  • What are we really getting per hour? The rate on the wall is one thing. The rate the garage actually got is the figure that matters, and GarageRevs works it out for any period you pick.
  • Is the workshop making money, or just busy? What the garage made for any period you pick, split between labour and parts, and what every job made on its own, so you can see which jobs earn well and which just fill the ramps.
  • How much advised work never got booked? The work you advised and the customer put off: how much is still sitting there, what it is worth, and how much came back and got done later. Most owners can only guess at this number.
  • Are estimates turning into jobs? How many estimates went out and how many became jobs, for any period you pick.
  • Where are the hours going? For each tech, the hours they worked against the hours you invoiced, for any period you pick. The gap is a number, not a feeling.

It comes to you, as often as you want it

Tell GarageRevs which of these you want to keep an eye on, and how often: every week, every month, every quarter or once a year. On that day it is worked out from your own jobs and invoices and sent to you and to anyone else who owns the place, presented properly and written so it reads in one go. You do not go looking for the numbers. They arrive, and you decide what to do about them.

Answers, not a report builder

Some systems give you every field in the database and a tool to build charts from it, and then the working-out is yours: which report, which filter, what the percentage means. GarageRevs answers the questions above as standard, in plain figures, the ones an owner running the garage as a business asks every week, without building anything and without a course to learn how.
