FIELD OPERATIONS / EBITDA

Turn field-service complexity into measurable EBITDA growth.

CinderGauge helps established trade and home-service companies find the constraint behind the number—and build the operating system that moves it.

For owners and operators who are ready to run on evidence.

The CinderGauge method

Fewer initiatives. Better operating leverage.

The work is practical by design: make the invisible visible, put ownership where the work happens, and give leaders a cadence that compounds.

Designed for the pace of the field
01

Read the operation

We start with your trade, geography, data, and the actual work happening between the org chart and the truck.

02

Name the constraint

We isolate the few bottlenecks with the largest EBITDA consequence—not a long list of disconnected initiatives.

03

Build the management rhythm

We install practical standards, role accountability, and visibility your leaders can run after the engagement.

Where the number moves

Measure the work that makes the margin.

We connect management systems to the levers owners already care about—then make the next decision easier to see and easier to repeat.

Constraint ledger
/ 04 LEVERS
Gross margin

Tighten estimating, pricing, job costing, and the handoffs that quietly erode profit.

Margin
Technician utilization

Turn capacity, territory, and skill mix into a schedule that earns more from every day.

Capacity
Dispatch efficiency

Make the board predictable—from call center intake through the last completed job.

Flow
Cash conversion

Remove friction from completion, invoicing, collections, financing, and close.

Speed

Built for the whole machine

When every department touches the outcome, every handoff matters.

CinderGauge works across dispatch, sales, service, installation, inventory, warehouse, fleet, payroll, accounting, and the call center—so improvements survive the handoff.

Trade context first

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, installation, and home-service operators—with the systems, geography, and ambition that make your business yours.
