Can datacube handle multiple trades in a single dashboard?

Yes. Datacube is built custom for each company, so a multi-trade operation gets a board that reflects its actual trade mix. The owner sees a combined company view; division managers see their trade's data. Permissions control which user sees which division, so a plumbing manager does not see HVAC-specific numbers unless the owner wants them to.

We use different CRMs for different trades. Can datacube pull from both?

Datacube is designed to consolidate data from the tools each division already uses, including field-service CRMs like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, and Workiz. If different trade divisions run on different platforms, the onboarding process maps each source and pulls them into a unified board. The exact configuration depends on what is connected, and the datacube team handles the setup.

How do you track marketing ROAS when spend is split across trades?

For teams using platforms like Google Ads and CallRail, datacube can display cost per lead and cost per booked job by campaign or by division. If your campaigns are tagged by trade, the dashboard can surface ROAS per trade so you can allocate budget to the division generating the best return, not the loudest division manager.

Can we see gross margin by trade, not just combined?

When QuickBooks is connected and accounts are organized by class or location per trade, datacube can display gross margin, COGS, labor percentage, and net operating income by division. This is one of the most common requests from multi-trade operators who find that a single combined P&L hides which trade is actually profitable.

How long does it take to build a multi-trade dashboard?

Datacube uses a white-glove, custom build process that typically runs about four to six weeks. Multi-trade builds can take closer to the upper end of that range because there are more data sources to map and more permission structures to configure. The datacube team handles all of the setup; you supply tool access and attend the onboarding sessions.

Is this different from the reporting inside my CRM?

Yes. A field-service CRM reports on what happens inside that CRM, for a single trade. Multi-trade dashboard software sits above all your tools and reads them simultaneously: multiple CRMs, call platforms, marketing accounts, and QuickBooks. It also presents data as live leaderboards, goals, and TV displays that your team acts on through the day, not as end-of-month exports.

What if one of our trades is much smaller than the others?

Datacube builds the board around the way your company actually runs. A smaller division can have a lightweight view or be included as a line in the company-level board without a full dedicated build. The onboarding conversation defines what level of detail makes sense for each trade based on how much revenue and how many data sources it contributes.

Can technicians from different trades compete on the same leaderboard?

Yes, and this is one of the most effective uses of a cross-trade dashboard. A single ranked technician leaderboard across all trades creates company-wide accountability and friendly competition. You can set it up so techs are ranked by revenue generated, regardless of which trade they work in, with separate goal lines for each role type so the comparison is fair.

Multi-trade dashboard software for contractors who run more than one trade

When your company does HVAC and plumbing, or roofing and restoration, or electrical and solar, the numbers for each trade live in separate exports and never add up to the same story. Multi-trade dashboard software consolidates every trade's KPIs into one real-time view so the owner or GM sees the whole operation, not a stack of disconnected reports.

The problem

The reporting gap that grows with every trade you add

Running one trade is hard enough. Running two or three means your data lives in separate CRM modules, separate marketing campaigns, separate P&Ls, and often separate spreadsheets maintained by different people. When the GM asks how the company did last week, the answer is always the same: it depends on which trade you are asking about, and the combined number is not ready yet.

HVAC and plumbing each show a healthy month in isolation, but combined revenue is off target and no one caught it until the books closed.

The roofing crew is behind on production backlog while the restoration side is starved for leads; neither team knows the other side's position.

Marketing spend is split across trade divisions but ROAS is measured per campaign, not per trade, so no one knows which division is getting the best return per dollar.

Technician leaderboards exist inside each trade's CRM module; a combined company-wide ranking that drives the right behavior does not exist.

The GM spends Monday pulling exports from two or three systems and building a combined report in a spreadsheet that is already stale by the time it goes out.

Seasonal swings hit trades at different times, so the owner never has a clear view of total company capacity and demand at once.

Warning

Data visibility gap: the cross-trade reconciliation trap

Most multi-trade companies reconcile performance by adding up trade-specific reports at the end of the week or month. By then the data is old and the decisions are already made. The problem is not that you have multiple trades; it is that you have no shared live layer on top of them. Multi-trade dashboard software does not replace your CRMs or accounting systems. It sits above them and reads all of them in real time so you stop reconciling and start acting.

The KPIs a multi-trade dashboard should surface across every division

These are the metrics that matter at the company level when you run more than one trade. Targets vary by trade mix, revenue split, market, and season. Treat the values below as example company targets, not universal benchmarks.

Combined revenue pace vs. monthly goalOne number that adds every trade's month-to-date revenue so the owner sees the whole company at a glance, not a trade-by-trade tally.

What multi-trade dashboard software does for each part of the business

Company-level visibility in one board

The Live Stats board rolls up every trade's revenue, calls, and goals into one screen that updates through the day. The owner stops asking division managers for updates and starts the conversation with a shared number everyone can see.

Division-filtered boards for trade managers

Each trade manager or division head can see their own board without seeing every other division's data. Permissions are set at the user level, so an HVAC manager sees HVAC performance and nothing else.

Cross-trade technician leaderboard

A single ranked leaderboard across all field technicians, regardless of trade. Friendly competition between an HVAC tech and a plumber drives performance in a way a trade-specific list never does.

CSR board segmented by incoming trade

When your call center handles multiple trade lines, datacube can segment booking rate, call volume, and missed calls by the trade type of the incoming call. You can coach on HVAC booking without disrupting plumbing dispatch.

Marketing attribution by trade and channel

For teams using platforms like Google Ads and CallRail, marketing spend can be tracked per trade or per campaign. You see cost per booked job by division, not a blended number that hides which trade is burning budget.

Per-trade gross margin from QuickBooks

When QuickBooks is connected, datacube can pull financial data by class or location, displaying gross margin, COGS, and labor percentage per division alongside the operational numbers, so finance and operations tell the same story.

Info

Owner takeaway: one leaderboard changes accountability faster than any policy

Companies that add a second or third trade often discover that accountability softens as headcount grows across divisions. A shared performance board, visible to every employee and updated in real time, does what a weekly meeting or a monthly report cannot: it makes the numbers impossible to ignore in the moment they still matter. The techs and CSRs who see their position on a live leaderboard act on it that day, not after the month closes.

How datacube builds a multi-trade dashboard for your operation

01
Map every trade's data sources
The onboarding process starts by identifying every tool each division uses: CRMs, call platforms, marketing accounts, and accounting. Most multi-trade companies are surprised at how many sources they have once they list them all out.
02
Agree on shared and division-specific KPIs
Some metrics belong to every trade (booking rate, revenue pace, tech revenue). Others belong to a specific division (install backlog for HVAC, emergency-call response for plumbing, estimate close rate for roofing). The datacube team helps owners decide which go on the company board and which stay on the division board.
03
Build the boards and set permissions
The datacube team builds the company-level board, each division board, and sets user permissions so every role sees the data relevant to them and nothing more. TV displays, mobile, and web views are configured in the same pass.
04
Go live and coach against real numbers
The typical custom build runs about four to six weeks. Once live, the owner and GM have a shared language for every weekly conversation: the same numbers, pulled from the same sources, in the same format across all divisions.

Pest controlPest control runs on recurring revenue, route density, and renewal timing, yet most operators are checking those numbers in a CRM report pulled days after the fact. Datacube builds a custom real-time KPI dashboard that shows your service revenue, renewal rate, upsell performance, and technician productivity on one live board.

PlumbingPlumbing businesses live on emergency calls, same-day booking, and technician revenue per truck. Plumbing dashboard software connects your CRM, phones, marketing, and accounting into one live view so you catch booking gaps, track membership growth, and see tech performance before dispatch ends for the day.

Pool servicePool service companies run two revenue engines at once: recurring maintenance routes and on-demand repair or renovation jobs. Pool service dashboard software connects your CRM, route data, phones, marketing, and accounting into one live view so the owner and operations manager know exactly where revenue, chemical costs, and technician productivity stand before the week is over.

RestorationRestoration contractors run two businesses inside one company: emergency mitigation and project-based reconstruction. Restoration dashboard software pulls your CRM, job management, marketing, and QuickBooks data into one real-time view so you can see where every job stands, whether mitigation billing is keeping pace, and whether the rebuild pipeline is healthy, before the month slips.
