Company owners, supervisors, and workers all mutually benefit from Protiv

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 free work that we were handing out, but it also weeded out the bad seeds in our company which created a cancer to the culture of the teams. We were able to streamline our crews and increase our profit by simply implementing Protiv.

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

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.

As a growth focused contractor we are always looking to innovate. ProTiv has been incredibly useful and flexible as we try out different models. We are able to use it and encourage everyone on the jobsite towards a common goal of productivity. It has become standard practice in our business processes.

As a property manager for Short Term Rentals my cleaner cost has been on a rise. I dropped my cost per check in by 20% by issuing ProPays. 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.

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 and pay for my kids. It makes me think differently about my day.

ProPay helps me pay my mortgage and send my daugher to school. That extra money helps me take care of my family. If I finish early I get paid for what I get done, not just being there. It's a huge motivator.

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. I know the company wins too.

What about Quality?

Protiv aligns your workers to quality standards. Managers have full control and approve any bonus. Team members have shared with us that their approach to quality changes 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 goes over schedule, the employee won’t earn a bonus. Employees on jobs that go over are paid their normal hourly rate. However, on ProPay jobs, their motivation results in fewer jobs going over.

Seamless integration

Protiv integrates with your existing time tracking and Job management software. We link to your existing data to seamlessly calculate your teams efficiency on each ProPay. Currently tracking time manually? No problem. Our simple easy to use software accommodates.
