Per-ton pricing
A service can be priced per ton of asphalt instead of per square foot. It then has two prices:
- What we sell per ton: the price the customer sees. The estimate shows tons times this price.
- What we pay per ton: internal. Customers and crews never see it. Only people with "See what we pay and the win or loss on a quote" do.
The difference is the win or loss on the quote, shown to the office only.
The calculator
Open Calculator (Sales). Type the length and width in feet, or the square feet, then the depth in inches (2 to start) and a waste percentage for extra to order on top (0 to start).
The calculator works out: tons = length x width x depth x the weight of a square foot one inch thick, divided by 2,000 lb a ton, plus the waste.
The weight comes from your company's mix density, shown on the page. Asphalt OS's rule of thumb is 12.47 lb per square foot per inch, a density of 149.64 lb per cubic foot. At that density:
10 ft x 10 ft x 2 in = 1.247 tons.
A new company, and the demo, start at this density, so the example holds from day one. The density is one of your company's pricing settings: if your mix weighs more or less, change it on Services and pricing (Company pricing) and the tons follow.
Pick a per-ton service to see what you sell it for. People who may see costs also see what you pay, and a Win or Loss card with the amount and the percentage of the sale.
Start an estimate with this carries the numbers to a new estimate for the customer you pick. There, a "Win/loss" panel shows the margin to the office. Per-ton quotes don't carry the suggested add-on.
Planned against actual tons
Once the job runs, Tons: planned vs actual (from the job on the customer's page, or from Loads) shows the tons on the estimate, the tons delivered on load tickets and the tons the crew reported, with the difference. Delivering more than planned shows in red. This page has no prices. See Truck loads and plants.
