Automatic travel costs on the quote
Set a regular service area and distance bands on the price list. Out-of-area sites receive an AUTO Travel line with a reason, while an existing trip charge prevents a duplicate.
Open video ↗SlabOS shop-cost inputs supply the financial context for evaluating work beyond the selling price. Working time, employees, crews, equipment and overhead contribute different cost categories. The public AI CFO page addresses owner-facing analysis; a credible costing example must reconcile those inputs to an actual project result.
Inputs this workflow uses
Labor rates, work records, equipment and vehicle costs, overhead and recurring expenses.
Outputs to evaluate
Cost inputs that support job analysis and comparison with quoted amounts.
A representative demonstration
Present one synthetic job's material, labor and overhead assumptions alongside its quoted and actual totals.
Bring a representative job to a SlabOS demo and see how this capability fits your shop’s work.
Scope and availability
A configured rate is not evidence of hours worked. Cost allocation assumptions and recorded actuals must be stated separately.
