Every job, start to finish, in one place
The sale is only the beginning. Between a signed quote and a finished kitchen sits a stack of moving parts — shop drawings, delivery dates, special-order items, installer instructions, change orders, and the running question every owner asks: are we still making money on this job? When those details live in email threads, spreadsheets, and someone’s memory, things slip. Equilibrium keeps the whole job in one record, from the moment a quote is won to the day the job closes out.
Everything the job needs, attached to the job
In Equilibrium, a job carries its own file. Shop drawings, directions to the site, special items, and special instructions all live with the job instead of scattered across inboxes and folders. As one long-time dealer put it, before Equilibrium there was “really nowhere to put that.” Now anyone who touches the job — sales, operations, the installer — is working from the same complete record.
That matters most when a job is complex or a new salesperson picks it up. The organization is already there: pricing, suppliers, drawings, and instructions in one place, so nothing has to be reconstructed.
Installer purchase orders, sent from the system
When it’s time to hand work to an installer, dealers create a purchase order per installer, add the specialized instructions that installer needs, and email the PO and supporting documents straight from Equilibrium. The installer gets exactly what they need for their scope — not the whole job, not a pile of loose attachments — and the dealer keeps a clean record of what was ordered from whom.
Job status you can actually see
Every job has a status, and every status rolls up into the dashboards owners and managers watch: quote pipeline, job status, and service and warranty cost. Instead of chasing updates, management can see where each job stands and where the bottlenecks are — across one location or the whole company.
The number that matters: estimated vs. actual profit
The most important thing Equilibrium tells you about a finished job is whether it made the money you thought it would. The Job Financial Summary lays estimated profit against actual profit on the completed job, so the gap between what the salesperson sold and what the job actually returned stops being invisible. Over time, that’s how a dealer tightens estimates, catches supplier billing errors, and protects margin as volume grows.
Built for multiple locations
Every location runs its own jobs with its own people, catalogs, and settings — compartmentalized so each behaves almost like its own company — while owners keep a single view across all of them. As dealers add locations, the way jobs are managed stays consistent instead of fragmenting. It’s a big reason one of the largest dealers in the country has more than doubled its number of locations while running on Equilibrium.
See it on one of your own jobs
The fastest way to understand job management in Equilibrium is to watch a real job move through it. A demo takes about 30 minutes and runs on scenarios that match your dealership — your catalogs, your locations, your margins.
