Inventory profit leaks are the ones almost nobody goes looking for. You already paid for the material. It's sitting on a shelf in your shop. Then a crew buys it again on the way to the job, and the margin you planned on quietly drops.

My guest this week is Eric Oberembt, owner of D&M Roofing and the founder of InventoryHQ. He started roofing with his grandfather at ten years old and still runs the company today. He built the app for his own crews after material costs in home services climbed, and he realized he had no real idea what was sitting in his two warehouses.

What You'll Learn:

• Why a five percent job costing error quietly costs you tens of thousands

• How to tell if your crews are buying material you already own

• The one thing that skews contractor profit margins on every repair job

• Why job costing for contractors falls apart without inventory tracking

• How to improve profit margins without more leads or one extra sale

• The hidden profit leaks showing up in what you pay your reps

Key Moments:

19:48 Why Leftover Material Belongs Back In Inventory
27:07 The Two Ways To Create More Profit
33:36 Turning Service Trucks Into Mobile Warehouses
42:50 The Commission Leak Nobody Catches

Most of the operational profit leaks I find with my customers aren't complicated. They're small, repeatable, and completely fixable once somebody starts tracking them. Eric put a real number on this one, and it's bigger than most owners want to admit.
