ServiceTitan invoicing screwing over roofing crews with shingle jobs

ServiceTitan charges $150 a month for their basic plan but it's a nightmare for roofing ops like tracking material costs on asphalt shingle installs. Half the time the invoice doesn't even pull in the right quantities for GAF Timberline bundles we use. Fight me if you think switching to QuickBooks is any better for multi-crew flat roofs.

goddamn it, same here every shingle tear-off job turns into a data entry hell.
