# How Do I See Which Field Jobs Make Money and Which Do Not?

You see it by recording the revenue, labor hours, parts, and travel costs on each job, so a calculated field shows the margin and a dashboard compares job types, customers, and technicians. On **Jestor**, this runs through job records with calculated fields and dashboard indicators.

Field businesses often look at total revenue only. Some jobs are very profitable, while others lose money after travel, return visits, and parts are counted, and without data, the company keeps selling the second kind at the same price.

## What unknown job profitability costs

- Unprofitable job types sold at prices that are too low
- Good jobs not promoted because nobody knows they are profitable
- Pricing decisions based on feeling
- Hidden costs of travel and repeat visits
- Difficult conversations with customers without supporting numbers

## How job profitability tracking works

- Each job stores **revenue**, hours, parts, and travel
- A calculated field shows margin per job
- A dashboard ranks job types and customers by margin
- Filters show trends by month and by technician

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Pricing is based on real numbers
- Teams can focus on the most profitable work
- Problem customers or job types become visible
- This scales from a small operation to a large service business

| Revenue only        | Margin per job and job type              |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Real profit unknown | Profitable and unprofitable jobs visible |
