What MarginManiac does

Everything between the walkthrough and a profitable contract.

Step-by-step estimator

Walk through property, scope, labor, and costs. Every assumption is visible and editable — nothing hidden in a black box.

Margin vs. markup, done right

Price to a target gross margin or a markup, and see conservative, target, and premium scenarios side by side.

Proposals under your brand

Generate a clean PDF proposal with your logo, scope of work, pricing, and terms. No MarginManiac branding unless you want it.

Estimated vs. actual

Log each month's real hours and costs. MarginManiac flags labor overruns, cost creep, and slipping margins.

Private by design

Your company's data is isolated to your account. Nobody else can see your bids or numbers.

Built for owner-operators

Made for 3–30 person janitorial companies. No training, no bloated CRM — just bidding and profitability.

Why it matters

Most bid problems show up months after you sign.

A crew that takes 20 extra minutes a night, a supply bill that creeps up, a wage increase you didn't price in. MarginManiac keeps the estimate and the reality side by side so you see drift early.

  • Price with confidence
    See exactly how labor, burden, and overhead roll into your price before you send it.
  • Look established
    Send a clean, branded proposal the same day as the walkthrough.
  • Catch problems early
    Monthly check-ins flag overruns before a contract quietly loses money.
  • MarginManiac is a calculation tool. Results depend on the figures you enter; it does not guarantee profits or savings.
