Will I finally see margin per job? Yes.

Every Menaia job carries its estimate, its actual hours, its discount, and its payout. Margin stops being a year-end surprise and becomes a number you check like the weather.

Meni reads the margin on every job. Estimated hours, actual hours, discount, payout, all already on the job. Ask which branch bled margin in December and Meni answers with the overrun and the dollars.
The estimates Insights tab in Menaia: an AI finding that 70 estimates were created and 43 sold for $106,501 in the last 30 days, with average ticket down from $3,072 to $2,477, beside a weekly sold-value bar chart.
$106,501 sold, ticket down $595. Volume rose but average ticket slipped from $3,072 to $2,477. The margin story starts with knowing the mix.

The margin equation Menaia actually tracks.

The same delta that pays crew bonuses is your labor margin signal per job.

Estimated labor hours

What the estimate promised the job would take.

Minus actual hours

Pulled from crew shifts on that job, not a guess.

Times your branch rate

The same delta that pays the crew bonus is your labor margin signal.

A job that beats its estimate by 4 hours told you its margin the day it closed.

Aging quotes are a margin decision, so treat them like one.

The feed found $72,614, two-thirds of the unsold pipeline, sitting in quotes 31 days and older. It charts the open value by age, so you can see which quotes to close and which to clear out.

An AI finding on aging open estimates with a chart of active unsold estimate value by age band, splitting fresh quotes from those 31+ days old.
9 quotes, 31+ days old, $72,614. The blitz list wrote itself: close or clear out before the value expires.

Watch the overrun before it compounds.

Labor overruns cluster by season and by branch. A crew that runs an hour long in July runs three long in December, and the pattern hides in the average until you break it out.

The insights feed dates each finding, so you can act in the month it happens instead of noticing it at year-end. The dated overrun finding is where the number and the trend show up together.

Margin, grounded.

Where do actual hours come from?
Crew shifts on the job, the same data that drives bonuses. No separate time entry to keep in sync.
Do I need to set up job costing codes?
No. The estimate, the hours, and the discount are already on the job. Margin reads from what is there.
Can I see this per branch?
Yes. Branch is a first-class filter across boards and insights, so margin is never just a company average.

Read the insights feed, see how the same hours delta pays the crew, watch the executive board, and start where the estimate is born.
