The Weekly KPI Scoreboard Field Service Owners Actually Use
Most contractor dashboards are either too shallow or too noisy. Owners need a short scoreboard they can trust every week. The goal is simple: see where revenue momentum is healthy, where production is slipping, and where cash risk is building.
1) Pipeline health metrics (front of house)
- New leads by source (phone, website, referral, paid campaigns).
- Median response time from inquiry to first contact.
- Estimate sent rate and estimate close rate.
- Open estimate value by age bucket (0-7, 8-14, 15+ days).
These numbers tell you if your sales engine is producing quality opportunities and if follow-up cadence is disciplined.
2) Production metrics (field + operations)
- Jobs scheduled vs jobs completed.
- On-time start rate and no-show/tardy events.
- Average cycle time by service type.
- Rework incidents or quality flags.
This keeps dispatch and crew execution grounded in objective output, not just activity volume.
3) Financial metrics (margin + cash)
- Revenue booked this week and rolling 4-week trend.
- Estimated gross margin vs realized gross margin.
- Invoice aging (current, 1-30, 31-60, 61+).
- Dispatch-to-cash cycle time.
If you don't track margin drift and aging weekly, surprises arrive at month-end when they are harder to correct.
4) Team metrics (objective productivity)
Productivity should be role-based and objective. Use a blended view:
- Revenue contribution tied to completed work.
- Production pace for recurring tasks/routes.
- Quality indicators (callbacks, punch-list items, missed documentation).
- Time discipline (approved punches, exceptions, attendance events).
This supports fair coaching and compensation discussions without guesswork.
5) Keep the review cadence short and strict
Use a 30-minute weekly scoreboard meeting:
- Review only exceptions and trend changes.
- Assign one owner per issue with due date.
- Re-check unresolved items next week.
The scoreboard is a decision tool, not a reporting ceremony.
