Contractor profile
Where does this a year come from?
Eight savings levers, each with its math laid out step by step. Change any driver and watch the total move.
Additional Potential Savings Not Modeled:
- Go/No-Go bid quality and win-rate changes (domain 1).
- Procurement and logistics savings: device losses, expediting, asset tracking (domain 4).
- Reduced outside consultant spend.
- Warranty and service upsell revenue (domains 7–8).
- Higher PM-to-project ratio as added revenue capacity. Recovered PM hours are valued at cost only.
What the OmniaIQ pilot should measure
| Lever | Baseline to capture before rollout | Where the platform records it |
|---|---|---|
| PM and supervisor time | Two-week time diary: hours spent finding info, chasing status, reconciling reports | Same diary repeated at week 8 |
| Field waiting time | Count of no-shows, standby hours and redirects per week | Escalation events and their timers (No Show, Standby Expiration, Redirect) |
| Timecard processing | Minutes per card to collect, correct and enter | Shift records and timecard approvals |
| Payroll errors | Corrections per pay period and their dollar value | Shift deviation events and correction records |
| Certified payroll | Minutes per WH-347 report | Time from week close to signed report |
| Billing speed | Days from period end to pay app submission, and DSO | Billing application timestamps |
Savings levers
Each lever shows its math, set to the expected case by default. Outlined fields are editable. Fields that also appear in the contractor profile stay in sync in both places, and hours and value update as you type. Lower or raise the drivers to build your own conservative or optimistic case; Reset to defaults returns to the expected case.
| Lever and mechanism | Basis | Hours / yr | Value / yr |
