Facilities for Handyman businesses
Tracks the lease, the utility and vendor accounts, the supplies and the signage — flags an odd bill or a renewal before it bites, and routes the mail to the right place.
How handyman shops run the numbers
- Typical labor rate: $75/hr
- Material markup: 40%
- Target margin: 40%
- Minimum job: $125
Industry ballparks — Automic Trades pre-fills these for your handyman shop, then tunes to your books.
What the Facilities does
- Keeps a registry of facility items — lease, accounts, schedules, vendor contacts — and reminds you on renewal, refresh, and payment by tier
- Flags utility-bill anomalies against your trailing 12-month average (winter gas spike, internet outage credits owed)
- Logs mail and packages and routes the right notice — customer pickup via Customer Communication, incoming samples to Sales
- Runs a branding-refresh schedule (signage ~24 months, vehicle wraps ~36 months) as advisory, never urgent without a real deadline
- Coordinates cleaning, maintenance, and security-vendor visits — surfaces the confirmation, you approve the date
Why it helps handyman owners
Facility lapses are quiet until they are expensive — a missed lease-renewal notice, a utility creeping up unnoticed, an alarm account that lapsed into trouble-call mode. Facilities keeps the standing-cost calendar honest so the building never becomes the surprise.
