You are not short of data. You are short of time to go looking for it.
Your numbers live across five disconnected systems - accounting, payroll, scheduling, time tracking, and HR. Nobody has the week it takes to pull them together, so the answers arrive late: overtime surfaces after payroll has already run, and a job's true margin is known only after it closes. The Sunday spreadsheet export holds it together for now - right up until the business grows faster than the export.
Overtime, found after payroll runs
By the time the payroll report shows it, the hours are worked and the cost is locked in.
Margins, known after the job closes
The true cost of a job becomes clear when the money is already spent - and the next quote repeats the mistake.
Exports that break as you grow
The manual spreadsheet routine works at one location and three crews. It does not survive scale.
What Hobasa does
Three views of the business, kept current on their own - so checking them takes minutes, not a week.
Finance
Margin, cash, and true job and crew costs - without exporting anything or waiting for month-end.
Workforce
Scheduled vs. worked hours, overtime, and turnover costs in one view, updated as the week happens.
Compliance readiness
Documentation, licenses, and insurance kept audit-ready, with gaps flagged before anyone asks.
What owners use it for
The recurring checks that used to wait for a free week - now running on their own.
Checking job profitability before close
See true job and crew costs while the job is still running - not after the invoice goes out.
Tracking labor cost vs. revenue week-by-week
One view of what labor is costing against what it is earning, updated as the week happens.
Catching overtime early
Overtime flags before payroll runs, when a schedule change can still fix it.
Handing clean numbers to CPAs and boards
Numbers that trace back to source systems, ready for your accountant, board, or lender.
Where the line sits
Just as important as what Hobasa does is what it does not try to be.
Not an accounting or HR replacement
Your accountant and HR team keep their systems. Hobasa reads across them and tells you what matters.
Not a system of record
Your source systems keep the authoritative copy. Nothing has to migrate, and nothing gets locked in.
Not a self-service dashboard you maintain
We set it up, we keep it running, and we keep the checks current as your business changes.
