Business Analytics for Decorators
Understand your business with analytics. Track revenue, quote conversion, job profitability and growth.
You cannot improve what you do not measure. Understanding your decorating business — where your revenue comes from, which quotes convert, which jobs are most profitable — is the key to growth.
Trade Assist gives you clear, simple analytics that help you understand your business and make better decisions.
Deep Dive: Business Analytics
You cannot improve what you do not measure. Most decorators have a vague sense of how their business is doing — busy or quiet, profitable or not — but they do not have the data to back it up. How many quotes did you send last month? What percentage were approved? What was your average job value? Which type of work is most profitable? Without answers to these questions, you are making business decisions based on gut feeling rather than evidence.
Trade Assist Business Analytics turns your day-to-day activity into clear, actionable insight. Every quote you send, every job you complete and every expense you log feeds into your analytics — automatically, with no extra data entry. You see your revenue over time, your quote conversion rate, your job profitability and your growth trends, all presented in clear, simple charts.
The quote conversion metric is one of the most valuable. If you send 20 quotes and win 5, your conversion rate is 25%. If that drops to 15%, something has changed — maybe your pricing has increased, maybe your follow-up has slipped, maybe the market has shifted. Without analytics, you would not notice the decline until it hit your bank account. With analytics, you spot the trend early and can take action before it becomes a problem.
Job profitability is the metric that transforms how you price your work. By comparing the quoted price to the actual expenses (materials, labour, fuel, subcontractors), you see which types of jobs make you the most money. You might discover that small residential jobs are far more profitable than large commercial ones, or that exterior work has a higher margin than interior. This insight lets you focus your marketing and quoting on the work that actually grows your business — rather than chasing revenue that produces no profit.
