A new SmartOffice Release - 6.9.3.2
Look at what is new in the Simply Reliable SmartOffice. We have been hard at work and have made a lot of changes to the Scheduling area and Work Orders. Check out the release notes and if you see something that you you have been waiting for give us a call and schedule and upgrade. Remember that you can always find the latest release notes in the software. From the about page it is either called New Features or What’s new in SRS depending on your version.
How Do You Know How You Are Doing?
For a lot of us in the Custom Installation business we have relied on our bank accounts to tell us how we are doing. It took me years to figure out that it has absolutely nothing to do with it. Jonathan Knapp of Simply Reliable and his business software taught me that. The true measure of how you and your business is doing is usually even wrong on your profit and loss statement and your balance sheet. Why? Because these are usually devices to make you look better than you are to your bank and make you look worse than you are to the IRS. So what are you to do? Stop. Set yourself up to put aside customer deposits in a seperate account. When you purchase items and install products, bill that account in those same small increments. The difference is your profit on that portion of the job and a reflection of where you are. Now there will be times when it takes longer or you use more material than you thought you would. Put aside an emergency fund. Take 10% of everything you are earning and put it in this fund. Dilligently job cost every job in real time and make adjustments to the job and update the information you use to create proposals so they will be more accurate. Eventually you will have a nest egg sitting there and you will know exactly how profitable you really are.
