Optimizing labor with Protiv benefits workers, company owners and field supervisors

For Brett and I, as owners, this is the tool we've been looking for to help streamline our labor percentage, which is critical because last year it got out of control. On the employee side, I think they feel way more involved in the business now because we're actually sharing how much we should be spending on labor.

The results we saw from using Protiv was not exactly what we expected. Incentivizing our employees was obvious, but it did so much more than that for my company. It brought to light existing issues that were not very visible until the app created an urgency for our employees to take ownership of the project and contract. I noticed our employees were doing a lot of extra work to get jobs done before using Protiv that technically required change orders. This alone created a lot of extra revenue. Once employees reported issues not in our scope of work we were able to add additional revenue that was being missed and actually eating away profits instead. Not only did it bring to light the "free work" that we were handing out, but it also weeded out the bad seeds in our company, which had created a cancer to the culture of the teams. We were able to streamline our crews and increase our profit by optimizing our labor with Protiv.

We implemented Protiv after searching high and low for a way to get my workers to hit budget. Protiv's labor optimization is brilliant in its simplicity, and now my team doesn’t want to work without it. I make way more money on projects that have ProPay because the guys work smarter. This is the single greatest productivity tool I have ever seen.

As a property manager for Short Term Rentals my cleaner cost had been on the rise. I dropped my cost per check-in by 20% by using ProPay. It really was shocking how much more productive my team became.

As a manager I never realized how disconnected my workers were to the actual labor budget. Just the simple fact of easily communicating a target budget while incentivizing them to beat it was a game changer. It makes a job costing a hell of a lot easier.

Protiv has changed the game for my business. By having employees feel like they are sharing in the wins, it has increased morale and excitement toward trying to gain efficiencies on the job site. What I thought would be a good pay incentive, ended up being much more. The teams have become more self-sufficient, engaged in their performance, and always looking for a way to get an edge instead of just collecting a paycheck.

ProPay makes me do many things I couldn’t do before. It motivates me to make extra money I never had before. I am motivated to not waste time. It helped me so much that I was able to go on a trip with my kids. It makes me think differently about my day.

ProPay bonuses help me pay my mortgage and daughter's school. That extra money helps me take care of my family. I finish early I get paid more and can get another job started. It's a huge motivator.

My company has been using ProPay for 3 years. Since I started working the ProPay jobs things are better for me, I can send more money to my family in Santo Domingo. I can buy more things than before when I was working regular hours. I recommend it it's good.

I’ve been on ProPay for many jobs now. You can always tell when workers are on ProPay and not hourly. They have energy and a reason for working hard, because they will make more money.

ProPay is the only way I like to get paid now. At first I was worried the company was taking advantage. Now I feel like we are on the same team. The better I do, the more I make. I know the company wins too.

What about Quality?

Protiv aligns your workers to quality standards. Bonuses are only paid after supervisors sign off on job quality and safety goals. Workers have shared with us that their focus on quality improves on ProPay jobs

As one carpenter put it:

“Going back costs me too much money.”

What happens when a job goes over budget?

If a job, or phase of a project, goes over on the schedule, employees on that job are still paid their normal hourly rate, but do not earn a bonus. Protiv is an incentive system, not a penalty. However, using Protiv creates worker motivation that results in fewer jobs being behind.

Seamless integration

Protiv works with your existing time tracking and project management software. We use your existing data to seamlessly calculate your teams efficiency on each ProPay. Companies that currently track time and projects manually can still use Protiv!
