At Caddie, we recognized a fundamental issue: there wasn’t enough focus on the operating expenses and processes that drive a contractor’s business. As pricing transparency becomes more common, we believe the industry is heading in a direction similar to the auto industry, where shrinking margins per unit will pressure contractors to adapt.
