I was losing $800 a month on change orders until a 2x4 on a job in Phoenix made me look at my software

For 3 years I tracked everything in a spreadsheet and just ate the costs when a client added a window or moved a wall. Then a super on a job in Phoenix pointed out I had 14 unapproved extras sitting in my truck's center console, all scribbled on lumber. That's when I pulled up my old software and saw I had a change order tool I never turned on. I spent one afternoon setting up templates and a signature capture, and the next month I billed $2,300 in extras I would have just let go. I know it's basic, but has anyone else found a feature in their construction software they ignored for years and only started using after a nudge from someone on site?
