Drop the file, done
Paint bills, payroll and estimate files — dropped in once, never re-typed.

What it is
The files your shop already gets — paint invoices, payroll runs, estimating-system exports — get dropped in one door and filed into the system automatically. The headers route the file, so you don't have to.

Why it matters — the industry numbers
3–8%
Where total materials cost should land as a share of monthly sales — a line you can only hold if you see it as invoices arrive, not at month-end.

70%
Shops still billing refinish materials by the old multiplier instead of actual invoiced cost — which undercharges on heavy jobs.

What changes when it's on staff
- ✓Hours of re-typing a month simply stop existing.
- ✓The system's numbers stay current because feeding it takes seconds, not an evening.
- ✓No more "I'll enter those later" piles — later never comes, and now it doesn't have to.
The moment it earns its keep
The month's paint statement lands in your email. You drop the file in, and every job's paint cost is on its repair order before your coffee is cold.

None of that was laziness — it was arithmetic. Doing this properly used to mean a hire or an agency. That's the arithmetic that changed:
That is year one with the $2,995 setup in it; every year after is $4,188 — about 11%. Wage is the kindest comparison anyway: it leaves out payroll taxes, benefits and hiring. And we're not claiming a bot replaces a person; we're showing where the price sits. Both numbers are checkable.
