Data visualization for Duluth trade businesses
Trade owners in Duluth carry a lot in their heads: which jobs paid, which dragged, which month went quiet. We turn those job records into charts that settle the argument with your crew.
Duluth visualization for crews and jobs
A plumber, roofer or electrician usually records jobs by date, type and amount. Bars of income by job type show which kind of work pays for the van, and which kind eats the week.
We add a second chart of hours per job type, because the high earner can still be the slow one. The pair shows which jobs deserve a higher quote and which ones to turn down. Callbacks belong on the same page, since a job that returns costs a second visit.
Charts for the Fall Festival and Fridays-N-Duluth
The Duluth Fall Festival is held downtown on the last weekend of September, and the city promotes Art Month, Fridays-N-Duluth and Howl on the Green. A trade that does not sell at a festival may still lose days of work to one.
A line of jobs per week with those dates marked shows whether you lost days to them, and the title says how many. If the answer is none, you can stop worrying about those weekends.
Charts that size you against the Gwinnett small-business tiers
The Gwinnett Chamber is based on Sugarloaf Pkwy in Duluth and runs small business awards for firms with 0-5, 6-24 and 25 or more employees. Your headcount puts you in one of those tiers.
A chart of revenue per employee by year shows how your firm grows inside its tier. It is a plain exhibit, and if you apply for an award it is the one attachment that reads in a glance. The tiers matter less than your own line, so we draw yours against yourself.
Duluth's industrial side, and what it means for you
AGCO, an agricultural equipment maker, is based in Duluth, and the Southeastern Railway Museum is in the city too. Businesses that serve a plant or a campus tend to see a standing order pattern.
Plot standing orders against one-off jobs as two lines. If one grows while the other falls, you see where the business is heading, and the title says it.
Questions from Duluth owners
My jobs are logged in a notebook. Can you chart that?
Yes. Send photos of the pages or type the figures into a table. A notebook counts as a record, and we chart from it.
Should I chart profit or revenue?
Both, in separate charts. Revenue shows volume and profit shows what stays. When materials costs are on your invoices, profit comes straight from the same table.
Will my crew understand the chart?
The labels use the terms your crew uses, such as repair, install and callback. The title says the result in a sentence.
