Some details
Venn says prior to using Clipboard, his work in progress (WIP) hovered around 22%. Since installing Clipboard, he’s tracking jobs at 40-45% profit. In addition, Venn says report accuracy has increased.
“When I ask my guys why, they tell me ‘Clipboard,’” Venn says. “My guys do variable air volume system testing every day. They used to do eight a day. Now they do between 10-15 a day. Clipboard makes them much more
efficient because they can do things on the fly. I see my return on investment in the first week of every month, maybe even sooner.”Mechanical Testing currently has 24 employees using Clipboard on a daily basis. He says the software has given him a major advantage over his competitors.
“My competitors are still doing stuff on paper. Very few competitors are in the cloud and paperless,” Venn says. “Certain state and federal projects mandate that you have a cloud portal for bidding on jobs. We’re already qualified to bid those jobs, while 60-70% of my competitors are struggling to catch up.”
Briccetti says Troy Web Consulting is proud to have played a role in the software’s success and its positive contributions to Venn’s business.
“In the past, anytime Mechanical Testing wanted to change a form, they had to call the developer and wait for the change to be made. That’s really inefficient when you’re running a company,” Briccetti says. “Now, they can customize their own forms – immediately – and service their customers better. They’re way ahead of the curve.”
What’s more, Venn has decided to expand Clipboard and market it to other businesses that could benefit from the same sort of software. Clipboard has created a new source of profit for Mechanical Testing and a unique resource for many businesses doing a variety of jobs.
