How much material spending is unaccounted for?

What the three inputs mean

Annual revenue

Your total yearly revenue across all jobs.

Material spending (% of revenue)

The percentage of revenue that goes to material.

Estimated unaccounted-for spending (% of materials)

The share of material spending you can't tie to a job, a truck, or stock on the shelf.

Why material matters

A purchase order records what you bought. Recording deliveries, usage, and returns helps explain what happened to those materials.

Where material spending goes unaccounted for

• Overordering because nobody trusts the count
• Leftovers that don't come back from the job
• Truck stock nobody counts
• Deliveries that don't match the order
• Material moved between jobs without a record

What tracking changes

Review recorded purchases, usage, and returns alongside physical counts. Compare recorded material costs by job with your estimate and follow up on differences.

This is an estimate based on the numbers you enter, not a guaranteed saving.
