Inventory Profit Leaks Costing Home Service Businesses Thousands With Eric Oberembt

Inventory profit leaks are the ones almost nobody goes looking for. You already paid for the material. It's sitting on a shelf in your shop. Then a crew buys it again on the way to the job, and the margin you planned on quietly drops. My guest this week is Eric Oberembt, owner of D&M Roofing and the founder of InventoryHQ. He started roofing with his grandfather at ten years old and still runs the company today. He built the app for his own crews after material costs in home services climbed, and he realized he had no real idea what was sitting in his two warehouses.
