A residential shop was stuck at 38% gross margin for three years despite growing revenue every season. After running the Bleedwise diagnostic and repricing their service agreements, the numbers shifted fast.
Gross margin climbed 13 points without adding a single truck — the fix was in the pricing structure, not the workload.
Labor burden was running 44% of revenue and the owner assumed callbacks were the culprit. Bleedwise identified overtime scheduling as the real driver — not rework.
Rescheduling dispatch windows cut labor burden by 10 points — a fix that took a week to implement once the root cause was clear.
$280K overhead on $1.1M revenue — the owner knew it was high but couldn’t identify where. Bleedwise flagged duplicated vendor contracts and unused software subscriptions that had been renewing silently for two years.
$86K in overhead removed in one quarter — no layoffs, no service cuts, just cancellations the owner didn’t know to look for.
