The problem

Busy, growing — and flying blind.

Most HVAC owners have plenty of data and almost no clarity. The systems are full of answers — nothing is turning them into decisions.

Profit is leaking and you can't see where

Revenue is up, but margin isn't. The leaks are buried in jobs, technicians, pricing, and overhead — and no one is connecting the dots.

No real view of operational efficiency

Technician productivity, truck utilization, install vs. service profitability — the numbers exist, but no one is interpreting them for you.

Cash flow feels reactive, not managed

Receivables stretch, payroll spikes, working capital tightens — and you're finding out about it after the fact.

Your CRM, ERP and books don't talk

ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, Sage, dispatch, spreadsheets — fragmented systems, no single source of truth, no executive view.

How it works

Connect. Interpret. Act.

Less a dashboard, more an executive intelligence layer that turns the data already inside your business into better decisions.

Step 1

Connect the systems you already use

Securely link ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, Sage, Housecall Pro, dispatch and accounting — read-only, no migration, no IT project.

Step 2

We interpret what's actually happening

SightMetrics unifies operational and financial data and explains the story behind it — what's driving profit, where margin is leaking, where efficiency is slipping.

Step 3

Act on AI-enhanced recommendations

Get specific, prioritized actions on pricing, mix, labor, and cash — backed by an optional dedicated expert when stakes are high.

ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, Sage, Housecall Pro and more. Read-only, secure, owner-friendly.

The intelligence layer

Not a dashboard. An advisor that reads your business.

SightMetrics' AI is built as an intelligent interpretation and advisory layer — trained on how operators, CFOs, and private equity actually read an HVAC P&L. It explains what's happening, why it's happening, and what to do about it.

Interpretation, not just visualization

Every number is paired with a plain-English explanation of why it moved and what it means for the business.

Proactive insight generation

Margin slips, productivity drops, AR creep — surfaced early, with the likely root cause, before they become problems.

Specific, prioritized actions

Not 'your margin is 38%.' Instead: reprice these 3 commercial accounts, shift labor mix, lock in this pricing structure.

Sample AI advisory
Profit leakage

Commercial gross margin dropped from 42% to 38% over the last two months. Two large accounts are now under your target margin — repricing them at +6% recovers ~$14K/quarter.

Technician productivity

Revenue per billable hour fell 9% in October. Three technicians are running below team average on completion time — likely a dispatching mix issue, not a skill issue.

Working capital

DSO is trending up 4 days vs. trailing 6-month average. Two customers represent 71% of overdue AR — collection focus there frees ~$48K of cash.

Generated from the operator's connected data. No generic tips, no AI fluff — only what's specific to your business.

Monthly briefing

Your monthly executive briefing

Every month, a one-page executive briefing in plain English: what changed in profitability, operational efficiency, and cash flow — why it changed, and what to do about it. The conversation you'd have with a CFO, on paper.
