Most KPI dashboards are useless to a small operator

The KPI dashboards sold to home service companies were built for offices with a CFO. They show you dozens of numbers that look important and tell you nothing about why you lost money yesterday. You do not need a graph of revenue per employee. You need to know whether the phone got answered and whether the proposal got signed.

Home service KPI tracking should be simple. Five numbers tell you almost everything you need to know about a small residential company running 1 to 4 trucks.

  • ·Answer rate: what percentage of inbound calls never get picked up.
  • ·Booked rate: what percentage of answered calls turn into a scheduled visit.
  • ·Close rate: what percentage of visits turn into an approved job.
  • ·Average ticket: what the signed job actually pays.
  • ·Revenue per truck per day: how much production each truck is worth.

The numbers you need are already on the job record

The problem is not that you do not know what to track. The problem is that the data lives in five places: the phone log, the calendar, the proposal, the invoice, and the tech's memory. By the time you piece it together on Sunday night, the week is already gone and you are guessing at next week.

FieldMetrx™ runs the whole job on one record. The call, the price, the proposal, the approval, and the payment all live together. That means the KPIs build themselves as the jobs run, not after.

Turn the missed call into a real number

Every owner knows the missed call is expensive. Almost none of them know exactly how expensive. When you track answer rate as a KPI, you stop guessing and start seeing the revenue that walked out the door because the phone rang four times.

Axel™ answers every call, so your answer rate becomes a real number. More importantly, the missed calls that used to vanish become booked visits on the calendar. The KPI goes up and the pipeline goes up with it.

Track close rate, not just revenue

Revenue is a lagging number. It tells you what happened last month. Close rate is a leading number. It tells you whether your techs are winning the driveway conversation before the next estimate shows up.

When every proposal is digital, signed, and timestamped, you can see close rate by tech, by job type, and by day of the week. That is the difference between managing a company and hoping the month works out.

Built for owner-operators who do not have a data analyst

FieldMetrx™ is home service KPI tracking for the company that does not have a back office. You do not export anything. You do not build a pivot table. You open the scoreboard and see what happened today, what changed this week, and where the next leak is forming.

If you are tired of running your company by feel, this is the tool that puts the numbers in front of you in plain language.

Frequently asked

What KPIs matter most for a small home service company?

Answer rate, booked rate, close rate, average ticket, and revenue per truck per day. Those five numbers reveal almost every leak in a small residential operation.

Do I need a dashboard tool separate from my CRM?

No. If your CRM captures the full job from call to close, the KPIs should be a byproduct. FieldMetrx™ tracks them automatically.

Can I track these KPIs without hiring an analyst?

Yes. The whole point is that the system tracks the numbers while you run the jobs. You review them, not build them.

How fast can I see the numbers after install?

As soon as calls and proposals start moving through the system. Most operators see a meaningful baseline within the first week.
