Job Costing & Profitability Analysis

Deep Accounting Integration
(Our Biggest Advantage)
Most field software creates more work — double-entry, mismatched data,
and manual reconciliation.
We took a different approach.
What Deep Integration Means for You
• Service tickets convert directly to invoices
• Customer data, pricing, and payment terms sync automatically
• Job costing flows into your chart of accounts
• Field + financial data merge for seamless reporting
We are certified developers with 36+ years of platform expertise —
not resellers connecting APIs.
Customization That Fits Facility
Maintenance Workflows
Your workflow is not the
same as a residential contractor — and your software shouldn't force you into a template.
We configure AutomatedService
to match:
• Your contract templates and site-specific requirements
• Your equipment tracking needs (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, building systems)
• Your reporting needs: technician productivity, profitability by contract, client-specific performance
• Compliance documentation for PM programs
• Multi-trade workflows and skill-based dispatch
• Client-specific billing structures
​
Empower your back-office team:
• User-definable workflows keep your team on top of details
• Standardized processes promote faster, more accurate information processing
• Single source of truth eliminates redundant research.
​
This isn't endless customization — it's software that adapts to how you operate
so adoption is natural and ROI is immediate.
