How do I read the Revenue and Production Wage charts?
Two views of how much your crews are producing in dollars.
Purpose
Revenue and Production Wage charts both show production output, just in different units. This article covers both.
When To Use This
Use this when:
- You want to see crew or branch productivity in dollars
- You're benchmarking productivity per worker
- You're reporting up on overall production
Revenue Chart
Shows total revenue produced over the period.
This is billable revenue — what was contracted with customers. It's a top-line view of work output.
Use it to spot:
- Branches running hot or cold
- Service types growing or shrinking
- Per-period production trends
Production Wage Chart
Shows production per dollar of labor wage paid.
If you paid $50,000 in wages and produced $200,000 of revenue, production wage is 4x.
This is the ratio you actually care about. Higher = better margin.
Filtering Both
Filters work the same on both:
- Branch
- Division
- Date range
- Service type
What Healthy Looks Like
Production wage targets vary by industry:
- Landscaping: 3-5x
- Painting: 4-6x
- Builders / construction: 4-8x
- Flooring: 3-5x
Compare your branches against each other — if one branch is at 5x and another at 2x, dig in.
