The problem

Shops on MRPEasy already have job data. What they lack is a focused profitability review layer that does not require a live API project first. Keep JobBOSS², E2, or whatever ERP you use. Export job costs; analyze margins in MarginGuard. “Works with” means CSV/Excel export support unless a live API is explicitly marked supported. Today MarginGuard starts with CSV/Excel job-cost imports (templates + column mapping). Live JobBOSS² / E2 API sync is on the roadmap—not required to get value. We never claim live ERP synchronization is shipping.

What to measure

Export job costs from MRPEasy, import to MarginGuard, and run weekly margin reviews. Run a weekly margin review: sort by dollars at risk, assign owners, and track opportunities as potential → implemented → verified.

How MarginGuard helps

MarginGuard is deliberately not a MRPEasy replacement. “Works with MRPEasy” means CSV/Excel export support today—not live synchronization unless explicitly marked supported. MarginGuard is not an ERP, scheduler, MRP, or accounting system. It is a profitability companion that sits beside the system you already run. We do not guarantee savings. Opportunities are tracked as potential, implemented, and verified so claims stay honest.

How to get started

Step 1
Export job costs from your ERP
Pull a CSV or Excel job / job-cost report from JobBOSS², E2, Epicor, Global Shop, ProShop, or a generic template. Include job id, revenue or quote, and cost fields when available.
Step 2
Import and map columns in MarginGuard
Upload the file, confirm column mapping, and let MarginGuard normalize jobs for estimate vs actual review. Live API sync is on the roadmap and is not required.
Step 3
Review variance, alerts, and opportunities
Sort by dollars at risk, open underperforming jobs, and track opportunities as potential, implemented, and verified—without fake ROI guarantees.

Why shops search for MRPEasy CSV margin import

MarginGuard sits beside the ERP you keep: import job-cost exports, surface margin leaks in dollars, and run honest opportunity tracking. MarginGuard is not an ERP, scheduler, MRP, or accounting system. It is a profitability companion that sits beside the system you already run.
