All use cases

Use case

Protect parts margin without auditing every ticket.

Connect part revenue to reviewed landed cost and focus on the repairs where margin is missing, weak, or moving unexpectedly.

What this changes

Find missing cost

Identify completed repairs with part revenue and no defensible cost.

Use landed cost

Include allocated shipping, tax, and discounts where purchasing evidence supports them.

Review the outliers

Focus on low-margin services, device families, locations, or time periods.

Why it matters

A clearer way to answer the operating question.

Parts margin can look healthy at a high level while individual jobs carry missing costs, outdated cost assumptions, or unallocated purchasing expense. ShopBrain finds the exceptions and preserves the evidence behind the calculation.

Plain answers

What owners usually ask.

Does this replace accounting?+

No. ShopBrain is an operating intelligence layer. It helps explain repair and purchasing evidence but does not replace the shop’s accounting records or tax reporting.

Can I set my own target?+

Yes. Owners can configure margin thresholds and use them as context for findings and recommendations.
