In short

How do I see the profit margin on each coating job every week?

WebRun shows you which coating jobs made money. Every Monday it gathers last week's completed jobs from CoatingOS with their revenue, materials, and labor, reconciles the costs against QuickBooks, calculates each job's gross margin, and posts a ranked digest to Slack with unprofitable jobs and cost mismatches flagged first.

  • You know your true margin on every job by Monday morning
  • Money-losing jobs get flagged instead of hiding in the average
  • Cost mismatches between the field and the books surface early

Questions, answered

Is the margin digest safe to run unattended?

Yes. This digest only reads your CoatingOS and QuickBooks data and posts an internal summary to Slack. It changes nothing in your books and messages no customers.

How does it work out the real cost of a job?

It takes materials and crew hours from CoatingOS and reconciles them against recorded expenses and payroll in QuickBooks, so the margin reflects your actual spend, not the estimate.

What if CoatingOS and QuickBooks disagree on a cost?

It flags any job where the two do not line up and calls it out in the digest, so you can chase a missing invoice or miscoded expense.

Put this on autopilot.
