Sometimes, the best way to understand how something works is to hear it straight from the people who’ve been there, done that, and are now crushing it. So today, we’re giving the mic to our customers – the contractors, landscapers, and hard workers who’ve turned their businesses around with SynkedUP. These are their stories, told with honesty and grit.

Ryan Breiding – Finding $83k That Was Just Slipping Away

What if that $13,000 job should’ve actually been a $20,000 job?

When Ryan Breiding joined SynkedUP, he didn’t realize just how much he was losing on every project. Turns out, $83k worth of costs were hiding in plain sight.

Ryan’s story starts like many others – long hours, tight margins, and that nagging feeling of, “Where’s all my money going?” But once he built his first budget with SynkedUP, he uncovered the problem. Things like overhead, materials, and labor weren’t priced in properly. And those missing pieces? They were eating into his profits.

Now, Ryan’s pricing isn’t just guesswork – it’s backed by real numbers. No more wondering if a job was worth it; he knows it is. And the best part? He’s not alone. Landscapers across the country are finding their footing with tools that make sense and work hard, just like them.

Elmer Fisher – Saving Time, Saving Money

Elmer’s story is all about one thing: time. Before SynkedUP, creating estimates and managing quotes was a time-sucking process that kept him from focusing on what mattered most – his business and his family.

“For the $100k job, the estimate took me maybe 30 minutes. I do about 10 quotes a month, which saves me about 20 hours a month. That’s $2000 in savings on labor costs, which lets me reinvest that time back into the business or spend time with my family.”

With SynkedUP, Elmer cut his estimating time drastically, freeing up hours every month. Instead of stressing over quotes, he’s reinvesting that time into his business and enjoying more moments with his family.

Trey Chilcoat – Guesswork to Real-Time Clarity

Before SynkedUP, Trey Chilcoat’s job costing system was a frustrating mix of LMN, QuickBooks Projects, and paper and pen. The worst part? He didn’t know if he’d made money until after the job was done.

“Our old job costing system was LMN, QuickBooks Projects, and paper and pen, and we’d never know the results until after the job was done. Now I know exactly where we are at any given point, which allows us to make decisions and react in real-time vs trying to figure out what we did 30 days ago.”

With SynkedUP, Trey has real-time insights into his projects. He knows exactly where he stands at any given moment, allowing him to make smarter decisions on the spot instead of reacting too late. For Trey, the clarity SynkedUP provides has been a total game-changer, transforming his business into a well-oiled machine.
