Feature: job profitability
Know whether each job really made money
Every job shows three numbers side by side: quoted cost, committed cost (parts ordered) and actual cost (received parts at FIFO cost plus clocked time at each technician's loaded labour rate). Comebacks and $0 warranty invoices still carry their true cost, so you can see what rework costs and who it is linked to.
Early access: BayAutomate is onboarding Australian workshops now. Anything marked Coming soon or Planned isn't available yet. Everything else is included on every plan.
The three numbers
- Quoted cost: what you expected when you quoted
- Committed cost: parts ordered and reserved
- Actual cost: FIFO cost of fitted parts + clocked time × each technician's loaded rate
