In this episode, we sit down with Mandy Rewis, Director of Business Development and Strategy at JOC Analytics, to explore how business intelligence tools are revolutionizing the restoration and trades industries. Mandy shares how JOC Analytics pulls data from CRMs and job management software to create real-time, customizable dashboards that eliminate manual reporting and provide actionable insights on KPIs, financials, and production metrics.

We discuss why small and mid-sized businesses need to leverage data-driven decision-making to compete with larger, private equity-backed firms, and why tracking business metrics from day one is essential for growth. Mandy also walks us through JOC’s key features, data sources, and how their tool integrates seamlessly with platforms like DASH, Service Titan, and QuickBooks.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Real-time data insights without manual report generation
✅ Custom dashboards to track job performance, revenue, and inefficiencies
✅ Data-driven decisions to help businesses scale and compete
✅ Compatibility with major CRMs, job management, and accounting software
✅ Scalable pricing to fit businesses of different sizes
