“I want easy to use tools that help me keep track of labor costs”

Labor. No other word is more effective at raising the blood pressure of carwash operators. It’s the largest cost for most carwashes and therefore the most infamous thief of profit. Therefore, tracking, analyzing and acting on your carwash’s labor statistics can be the difference between money owed and money earned.

Time Clock

By having each employee clock in and out you can greatly simplify your payroll process. You can then print a time card report to see exactly when employees start, end and the total hours they’ve worked. You can also calculate wages including overtime.

Once you have this data you can calculate labor cost per car, average number of employees needed, changes in labor cost, over time, etc.

Sales Commission

One of the most effective ways to increase profits is to provide your salesperson with an incentive to upsell. However without the system to facilitate commissions it can be more of a hassel than it’s worth. The Profit Pilot software gives you the ability to configure commissions and simply track your salespeople. You can then print reports that allow you to see who’s selling, who’s not and what you owe your salespeople in commissions. You can then see what commission arrangement works best for your carwash.

Employee Call List

It’s been threatening to rain all morning and so you only have 3 employees onsite. But then- without warning- the sun decides to come out and the line is out to the street with cars that need to be washed. What do you do? Normally chaos ensues as you try to wash cars as fast as you can with the employees onsite, while you scramble to find the phone numbers of the employees who are not.

With the Profit Pilot’s Employee Call List you can quickly print a report that shows which employees are currently clocked in and who’s not clocked in along with their phone numbers. Simply print the report and start calling. You can also print the report on receipt paper from the POS.
