Case Study #1

Jamie Muirhead, President, MJM Energy, Dartmouth, NS

Most people don’t go to Las Vegas to save money but for Jamie Muirhead, the president of MJM Energy, that’s exactly what happened. Muirhead was there for a trade show in the fall of 2010 when he came across JobPro Technology, a robust CRM with a sales-tracking system that lets the company monitor sales numbers and how many quotes salespeople are doing in real time, rather than waiting for a month-end review. “There was a salesperson closing all kinds of sales who we considered a real crackerjack, but we discovered that his margins were actually much lower than other salespeople,” says Muirhead. “He was hugely undervaluing the jobs, practically giving them away-in some cases, losing us money. Once we saw this, we were able to put hard controls into the software, such as not letting a quote go out the system that’s less than a set margin.”

With the CRM software, Muirhead was also able to drastically accelerate the company’s order-to-cash process. Work orders used to get lost or forgotten, which meant the company couldn’t properly invoice for a job or fail to properly follow up with customers. Now crews have iPads with access to the software, allowing the office to easily track work orders and doing the work of about two administration people. To date, the CRM has saved MJM upward of $50,000.

Case Study #2 - Anonymous JobPro Customer

The Challenge: Managing Payment Collections Efficiently

The contractor faced a costly inefficiency in their payment collection process. An office employee, earning $45,000 per year, was solely responsible for manually calling customers, collecting payment information, and entering it into the system. As the company grew, the need for an additional employee to handle increased billing demands became inevitable, adding another $45,000 in overhead.

The Solution: Implementing JobPro

The contractor adopted JobPro, a software solution costing just $6,000 per year, which streamlined their payment process with eSignatures, credit card, and ACH payment options. This automation eliminated the need for an employee to handle routine payment collections manually.

The Results: Significant Cost Savings & Increased Productivity

  • Eliminated the need for a dedicated payment collection employee, saving $45,000 per year.

  • Reallocated employee focus to billing for increased productivity, rather than routine collections.

  • Avoided hiring an additional employee, saving another $45,000 per year.

  • Total minimum annual savings: $39,000 from just one aspect of automation, with further efficiencies gained across operations.

Case Study #3 - How Software Makes Your Business More Attractive to Buyers

When it comes time to sell your business, potential buyers look beyond today’s numbers. They want confidence in future growth, scalability, and compliance. One of the most powerful ways to demonstrate this is by having the right software in place.

The Buyer’s Perspective

Buyers aren’t just buying what your business is today — they’re buying what it could be tomorrow. They ask:

  • Is the business scalable?

  • Are its operations compliant and risk-managed?

  • Is it consistently profitable with clear visibility into finances?

Software helps answer those questions with data, structure, and predictability.

Key Advantages of Software in a Sale

1. Scalable Growth

Structured software creates systems that can be easily repeated and expanded. Whether it’s managing customers, inventory, or operations, software reduces reliance on individual employees and provides a foundation for growth. Buyers see this as a signal that the business can scale without major disruption.

With JobPro, businesses gain a structured workflow that enhances strengths, resolves inefficiencies, and accelerates productivity. Every stage— from lead to payment—comes with defined tasks and clear ownership, aligning the team for consistent performance and growth.

2. Labor Compliance & Risk Reduction

Compliance is a top concern for buyers. Software that tracks labor, scheduling, and reporting can demonstrate that the business is following labor laws and regulations. This reduces risk for the buyer and builds trust that the business is well-managed and not hiding liabilities.

JobPro’s payroll reporting is accurate, transparent, and fully compliant with the standard 40-hour work week. Whether you pay by the hour, by piecework/footage, or through a combination, JobPro provides clear results with multiple reporting options.

3. Proven Profitability

Robust reporting software provides clear visibility into revenues, expenses, and margins. It highlights profitability and pinpoints where improvements can be made. Instead of relying on guesswork, buyers can see validated numbers and projections. This transparency makes the business more attractive and reduces negotiation friction.

JobPro delivers industry-leading reporting with unlimited flexibility. Whether you need insights on sales by customer, salesperson, or item… profit by crew, equipment, or project… or productivity comparisons across teams, JobPro provides it. Our reporting database integrates seamlessly with tools like Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and more, giving you the insights you need, the way you need them.

The Result

By investing in JobPro Technology before a sale, business owners show buyers that their company isn’t just surviving—it’s positioned to grow, comply, and thrive profitably into the future. This can increase buyer confidence, shorten the sales process, and even raise the valuation.
