You'll know a job is slipping before you invoice it.

You find out the margin when you invoice.

The quote says one thing, the supplier invoices say another, and nobody reconciles them before closing. So a job's real cost gets reconstructed at the end, in a spreadsheet, at exactly the point where nothing can be recovered.

• Progress is chased by phone, one job at a time
• Photos and packing slips stay on the phone of whoever took them
• The quote and the supplier invoices are never reconciled
• The real cost is reconstructed at the end, when nothing can be recovered

The field fills it in, the office reads it.

Each job — a site, a route, a location — carries its own progress, documents and costs. What's entered on site arrives attached to the right job, with its date and author, and nobody has to file it afterward.

Real cost is compared with the quoted amount continuously, line by line. The gap is visible during the job, not at closing.

• Progress updated from a phone, in seconds
• Photos, notes and sign-off reports attached to the job, not to an inbox
• Real cost against the quoted amount, line by line
• A job's full history, found in one search

A job going off track surfaces before the invoice.

You set what counts as going off track in your business: a margin percentage, a gap in euros, a delay in days. When a job crosses that threshold it surfaces in the daily list — in week three rather than at the invoice, while there's still time to act.

That's also what keeps on-site entry workable: it has to take under a minute, or it won't get done, and the tracking will be worthless.

• Your thresholds: margin, gap in euros, delay in days
• The alert in the daily list, not in a monthly report
• On-site entry under a minute, or it won't happen
• Monday's meeting starts with decisions, not with a round of calls
