Evalation shows margin on the estimate before you send it and tracks job profit in real time while the work runs. Snap the receipt, and the budget moves.
The job closed in September. The crew moved on in October. And the honest answer to “did it make money?” arrives at tax time, from an accountant reading last year like an autopsy report.
The leak was findable in week two: the change order that never got priced, the second dumpster, the extra day of labor that felt small on Tuesday. By April it isn't a decision anymore. It's history. The next job inherits the same blind spot, and the one after that, until the year itself becomes a guess with a tax bill attached.
It's the nine-o'clock kitchen table problem in its final form: the numbers exist, but they live in QuickBooks, a spreadsheet, and a shoebox of receipts, and none of them can answer the question while the answer still matters.
Evalation shows a contractor what a job is making while the job is running, not at tax time.
Costing isn't a report you run later. In Evalation it's the job record itself, updating as the money moves. No exports, no month-end reconciliation project, no second source of truth.
Overhead and margin are baked into every line before the estimate goes out, so you know what the job should make before you shake on it. See the estimating side at /software/contractor-estimating.
Snap a photo of the receipt and the job's budget moves. Costs land on the job while the job is running, not in a January shoebox.
See exactly what the job is making you mid-build. A margin drifting the wrong way is a conversation on Thursday, not a surprise in April.
Estimates, invoices, payments, and costs live on the same job, so the profit number isn't an export from three tools. It's just there.
The estimate carries overhead and margin on every line, so the target profit is set before the handshake.
Receipts post against the budget from a phone photo. Invoices and payments are already on the job record.
The job's real-time profit sits on the record. A drift the wrong way is a Thursday conversation, not an April discovery.
Twice. On the estimate before it goes out, and live on the job while the work runs. Not at tax time.
Snap a photo of the receipt and it posts against the job's budget. Invoices and payments already live on the same job record.
Yes. The budget lives on the job record and updates as costs land, so the spreadsheet has nothing left to track.
Anyone you put in the system. Unlimited users are included, so the person holding the receipt is the person who snaps it.
