Purpose of the Report

The Revenue per Engineer dashboard is designed to provide insight into the financial performance of engineers by analysing job costs, charges, and revenue generated from completed work. The dashboard enables users to compare revenue contributions across engineers, identify profitability trends, and evaluate operational performance.

By combining key financial indicators, revenue visualisations, and detailed job-level information, the report helps managers and business stakeholders understand how engineer activities contribute to overall business revenue and profitability.


How to Access the Dashboard

  1. From the main navigation menu, select the Self Service module.

  2. Open the All Standard Dashboards folder.

  3. Locate Revenue per Engineer.

  4. Click Preview to open the dashboard.

  5. Apply any desired filters. The dashboard will automatically refresh based on the filters selected.


Dashboard Filters & Descriptions

The dashboard includes several filters to help users focus on specific engineers, job types, and reporting periods.

Completed Date

  • Type: Date range selector

  • Default Value: Blank

  • Description: Allows users to define a custom reporting period based on when jobs were completed. All dashboard visualisations and tables update to reflect jobs completed within the selected date range.

Engineer

  • Type: Drop-down selection

  • Description: Filters the dashboard to display financial performance data for a selected engineer. This is useful when reviewing the revenue contribution and profitability of individual engineers.

Job Cost Code

  • Type: Multi-dimensional slicer

  • Description: Filters the dashboard by job cost code or charge code. This allows users to analyse revenue and costs associated with specific categories of work or billing classifications.


KPI Indicators

The dashboard contains four KPI indicators that provide a high-level overview of financial performance.

Cost

  • Displays the total labour or operational cost associated with the selected jobs.

  • Represents the cost incurred by the business in delivering the work.

Charged

  • Displays the total amount charged to customers for the selected jobs.

  • Represents the billable value generated from completed work.

Revenue

  • Displays the calculated revenue generated from engineer activities.

  • Revenue is calculated using the following formula:

    • Revenue = (Total Charge × Total Hours) − (Total Cost × Total Hours)

  • Provides a measure of profitability based on the difference between charge rates and cost rates.

Revenue – Fixed Price

  • Displays the total revenue generated from jobs billed using fixed-price arrangements.

  • Helps users distinguish revenue generated through fixed-price work from time-based charging models.
