    How do you track your expenses?

    We use Fyle. Started about six months ago. As far as I know, the CFO likes it. President is happy with the reduction in office hours required to sort and track expenses across about 20 company cards. They allow for pretty easy sorting by job, customer, reason, and more. The nice thing is that it...

    Inventory Tracking System

    We looked at that and a couple other ones. We aren't selling to consumer a ton, so we aren't necessarily moving pieces like it appears they benefit the most. The parts we ship out to buyers are the same parts we also use on jobsites. We mainly just need a tracking software that can easily...

    App won't let me use camera on iPhone

    Ended up having to hard reset my phone. Working now. Must've been an Apple issue.

    App won't let me use camera on iPhone

    CompanyCam says I need to give permissions to use camera on my iPhone. I don't have an option that shows up to allow this anymore. For context, I've been using the camera on the app for a while now. Is this an app update problem or an Apple problem? I saw the latest updates included "fixing"...

    Inventory Tracking System

    I will let you know. Look up inFlow on YouTube. There were a bunch of tutorials and interviews showing how it works and who it works for. It looks pretty integrated for any business utilizing trucks, multiple locations, and sublocations. Documents every transfer, sales order, and transaction...

    🔥 Hot topic: Prices for your work 🔥

    I spent 15 years in food distribution, and we always preached keeping a low stale percentage: product that went out of date. However, if that number was effectively zero, we were missing sales. If you are not pushing the envelope on price, you are missing profit. If you have 100% retention rate...

    Inventory Tracking System

    For context, it's been a fly by the seat of the pants process, up until now. Which has worked for a long time, but we have outgrown that process and can't rely on one person to just "know" what we have, or what/when we need to re-order.

    Inventory Tracking System

    We have 3 facets to our business, and two of them require inventory to be kept and tracked across 3-5 vehicles, 2-3 storage sheds, and 1 warehouse at HQ. We track over 100 SKUs from sensor probes to computer boards to refrigeration valves. We are testing out inFlow for the next two weeks and so...

    Pick Your Poison 🔥❄️

    My plumbing experience is that I've replaced a garbage disposal and snaked a bathroom sink, so forgive my ignorance lol...but is this due to plumbing going smoother in the hot vs the cold?

    When Do You Unfollow Someone?

    I'm a big purge person. Once a year, sometime in the winter usually, or on a rainy day where I have nothing else to do, I will find myself unfollowing people en masse. When doing so I ask myself these questions: 1) how long has it been since I thought about you or saw you? 2) would I like to...

    Pushing checklist reminders to the team?

    1) we utilize the assign feature, and it works well for initial set up of project 2) we don't utilize conversation because it doesn't log properly in reports for our use, and isn't as integrated with the rest of our departments as Microsoft Teams, so we have added a "text" "question" to the top...

    Pushing checklist reminders to the team?

    Is there a way to push a reminder to the team to complete their checklists by a certain day or time? For example, we do lots of work around the country with Mon-Thu timeframes and we would like to stress the importance of a Thursday checkout before traveling back home. Today, we had an entire...
