107: How To Control Your Labor Costs with Dean Logan


Listen Later

Controlling your labor costs should be one of the top goals of running a profitable business. For most of us, Labor is our #1 job cost and the one variable that can take a profitable job and turn it into a loser. In today’s interview with Dean Logan, you will learn how, by using electronic timekeeping, you can be sure that you're paying for the “true" time worked on the job. Dean formerly ran his family roofing business and developed a time keeping an app that saved his company over $100,000 in labor cost the first year. His app was so successful that he formed Labor Sync and has taken his program to the public. Listen in and find out what it’s all about and if it is right for you.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Dean’s background in the family roofing business
  • The realization that led to the Labor Sync app development: Cutting costs requires accurate time tracking
  • Developing the tool, including ease of use and accommodation of a non-English speaking workforce

    1. Costs only $10/month per active employee
    2. Saves you money from day ONE
    3. Gives an accurate picture of labor hours and costs for each job in real-time
    4. Allows for real-time adjustments
    5. Allows accurate payroll procedures
    6. Separates drive time from work time
    7. Allows employees to track their hours and know what pay to expect
    8. Gives you the ability to customize over 250,000 reports
    9. Integrates with Quickbooks

  • How GPS ties into the app with real-time locations
  • The biggest problem in the field comes from employee pushback, particularly from “old-timers”
  • How the app tracks repair and service jobs with four main buttons
  • How the app justifies invoices and verifies billable hours
  • Coming soon in version 3.0: scheduling interface, overtime tracking, increased integration with accounting software, and more
