COMMAND POST REVOPS
The software that thinks like a contractor
Looking out the rear view mirror...
Our founder was a contractor for 30 years. And he faced a common challenge in the construction industry: management of his company using traditional financial reports or statements (stuff from a CFO/CPA) he felt like he was trying to drive a car by looking in the rearview mirror.
Despite the hard work and every project turning a profit of some sort, the financial reports showed a different picture —usually less profit and at times an unexpected loss.
This disconnect from what he saw from a CFO/CPA was a wake-up call. He felt he needed to understand better why there was a disconnect, and if there was a way to see what was happening in real time so he could take action while there was still time.
Spreadsheets didn't work
So he tried to use spreadsheets to fix this problem.
Spreadsheets didn’t solve the problem mainly
because data came from multiple sources throughout the company and could not be kept up in real time.
The information was fragmented (some spreadsheets had certain information but not all of it and another contained that additional information but they were not in one place) so, upkeep was not easy.
Management reports
Like many contractors, he used a variety of paper ledger and manual systems to keep track of its job scheduling, resource allocation, and other key factors necessary to manage the business and forecast profits.
Although the spreadsheet system worked, it was confusing and prone to human error because of the need to continually enter and re-enter information to keep it updated.
Furthermore, in order to create reports for analysis, all information had to be compiled from each system in order to get a complete picture of the business.
Knowing there had to be a better way, he set out to develop a complete information management system that would streamline operations, clarify organizational goals, and make information easily and instantly available for reporting and decision-making.
