Powder Coaters face unique challenges: Parts tracking through prep → blast → coat → cure → ship — easy to lose a piece. Color match across batches when a customer returns 6 months later. Oven gas costs swing with season — affects margin per cycle. Substrate prep adds steps for cast iron, aluminum, and stainless — bid math differs. Small-batch vs large-batch economics — the oven runs the same either way. On top of all that, Jobber charges $69/month ($828/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median powder coater earns $55,000/year. Software at $828/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

7am a customer drops off a wheel rim set — black-out powder, 4 rims, $400 quote. 8am you're prepping a separate batch of patio furniture — pre-treatment dip, blast booth. 10am rims go through pre-treatment. Noon you load the oven with the patio batch plus 1 rim that fits. 1pm bake. 2pm second rim batch loaded. 5pm you've cycled 3 oven loads — your gas bill is going to sting. Customer picks up rims at 6pm and asks if you can match the patio paint — you say "next week."
