THE BLIND SPOT
You know your bottom line at year-end. You just can’t see which projects built it.
There are two versions of this problem, and most firms have both.
IF YOU’RE SLAMMED AND BEHIND
You’re behind on the paperwork, and you know it.
The labor’s in a spreadsheet, the mileage is on a notepad in the truck, the materials are on a receipt somewhere, and the invoice went out on gut feel. By the time a project wraps, the one number that matters — did it make money? — is the one you never get to see.
IF YOU’RE ESTABLISHED AND STEADY
Your costs climb every year. Your prices haven’t moved in a while.
You know your bottom line every month. What you can’t see is the layer underneath — what a single project costs you versus what you charged. That gap never shows up in the annual total. It hides inside “we’ve always done fine.”
Neither one is a numbers-skill problem. It’s a visibility problem. You need to see one project all the way through — costs in, price out, profit at the bottom — one time.
WHAT WE’LL ACTUALLY DO
No dummy accounts. No feature tour. We build your real project, live.
A demo of a fake company tells you nothing about yours. So instead, in 30 minutes we do the five things that turn a pile of field notes into a profit number.
1
Enter your rates
You bring your rates — what your crew’s time, mileage, and materials cost you, and what you bill for each. We put them into ForestTrack with you so the project prices against your real numbers. Missing a rate for something? We’ll flag it and keep moving.
2
Create one real project
Your contract amount, your client, your scope.
3
Add the tasks
The work that actually happened — field visits, site plan drafting, boundary work.
4
Log the time, miles & materials
From your notes, your sheet, or your memory. We do the data entry live. There’s no “clean it up first.”
5
Open the project financials
Contract amount, total cost to date, current profit and margin — plus what you’ve invoiced versus what you’ve actually collected. That last screen is the whole point.
THE 30-MINUTE DIFFERENCE
Same project. Two very different levels of knowing.
BEFORE
You quoted $18,000. Felt about right. Figured maybe 25%.
Labor guessed, mileage forgotten, materials on a receipt somewhere. The margin is a hope, not a number.
AFTER — FORESTTRACK FINANCIAL OVERVIEW · ILLUSTRATIVE
SITE PLAN — TRACT 234
Contract amount
$18,000
Total cost to date
$16,290
Current profit
$1,710
9.5% margin
Every hour, mile, and material priced against what it actually costs you. Now the question isn’t “did I make money?” — it’s “what do I do about it?” Course-correct a live project, reprice the next one, or make another call. Now you’re deciding from a real number instead of a hunch.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
One real project, built out — with its current margin in front of you.
One of your real projects, fully built out — time, miles, and materials priced against what they actually cost you, with the current margin visible in the financial overview.
A business decision you can actually make — with a real number instead of a hunch, you can course-correct a project that’s still running, adjust how you price, or make another call. Your decision, your business.
STRAIGHT TALK
Whether this is worth your 30 minutes.
This is for you if
You’re running real volume — several projects at once, 3 to 10 people in the field.
You’re confident in the forestry, but behind on the paperwork and you know it.
You’ve wondered whether a specific project actually made money — and couldn’t answer.
You’ve been at it a while, you do fine, but you haven’t touched your rates in years and need help pricing.
This is not for you if
You just started and have one or two clients. Come back when you’re busy enough to lose track — that’s when this pays off.
You already run tight project-level P&Ls and know your margin on every project to the dollar.
We’d rather tell you it’s not a fit than waste your afternoon.
GETTING STARTED
You need less than you think.
1
Book a time
30 minutes on Zoom. Pick a slot on the calendar.
2
Grab one project
Live or recently finished — the messier the better. More crews and equipment means more for us to untangle.
3
Bring your rates & the details
Your cost and billable rates, plus whatever you’ve got on the project — a spreadsheet, a folder of receipts, a photo of a crew log, or just what’s in your head. We do the data entry live.
QUESTIONS FORESTERS ASK
Before you book.
Do I need my rates ready before the call?
Yes — come with your cost and billable rates for labor, mileage, and materials: what each one costs you, and what you charge for it. We enter them into ForestTrack with you during the session. Rough numbers are fine, and if you're missing one we'll flag it and keep going.
We've done fine for years. Why change what works?
Because you can't see the layer underneath the annual number — what each project actually cost versus what you charged. This shows you that layer for one real project, in 30 minutes.
Do I have to share sensitive client or financial info?
No client names or financial statements needed. We only need your rates and the numbers for the one project you bring — nothing else leaves the room.
Is this just a sales pitch dressed up as a workshop?
No. We're not walking through a slideshow. We build out one of your real projects live and show you the number. If it's not useful, you'll know in 30 minutes and you're free to walk away.
What if the project turns out to be unprofitable?
Then you know — and you can do something about it. Reprice the next one, have a harder conversation with that client, or decide it's not worth taking again. That's the whole point of doing this.
Who's actually running the call?
Someone from ForestTrack who's done this walkthrough dozens of times, alongside consulting foresters who helped us build the product. You're not getting a generic sales rep.
Stop guessing at 25%. Go find out.
You already did the hard part — the field work, the client, the project itself. The only thing missing is the number that tells you if it paid. Let’s spend 30 minutes and get it.
