Transforming A GTA-Based Concrete Steps Masonry Business

Elevating a GTA-Based Concrete Steps Masonry Business with LynxERP

The Situation:

Our client, a well-established concrete steps masonry business in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), was grappling with the complexities of managing custom orders, material wastage, and labor scheduling. Despite their craftsmanship and quality service, the business was hindered by outdated manual systems and a complete reliance on paper-based documentation.

Technology Challenges:

The primary technological challenge was the integration of yard staff into the digital transformation process. Most of the yard staff had little to no experience with technology. Additionally, the business struggled with inefficient material usage, leading to increased costs and waste. The absence of a digital system also made it difficult to schedule labor efficiently, affecting project timelines and customer satisfaction.

LynxERP Adoption Begins:

To overcome these challenges, the company decided to implement LynxERP. Known for its intuitive, simple, and responsive UIs, LynxERP offered a promise of not just digitizing the business but also making it completely paperless.

The Solution: LynxERP

LynxERP introduced several transformative features tailored for the masonry business. Its mobile-responsive interface enabled yard staff to update material usage and labor hours directly from their mobile devices, even with their limited tech skills. The system also offered custom order management features, allowing for real-time tracking of each project's status, from material procurement to final installation. LynxERP's scheduling feature optimized labor allocation, ensuring that the right people were assigned to the right jobs at the right times. The transition to a paperless system was the cherry on top, significantly reducing the company's environmental impact.
