Data is one of the best business assets for tradies and contractors, and job management software makes it so easy to access...but how do you know what to watch?

As experts in ensuring software solutions are made to suit businesses (and not the other way around!), we’re firm believers in making sure our clients know what’s worth their time.

After all, what’s the point in implementing the latest software feature when it’s only going to see the light of day under very specific, and to be honest rare, circumstances?

Similar thinking can be applied to datasets. The concept of being all-knowing is great, but when push comes to shove, there are only a few areas where the nitty-gritty information matters.

Determining the datasets that matter is up to you and your own business needs, however, we thought it might help if we shared some of our favourite reports from our software partners.
