"At that time, if you didn't have that paper ticket, it didn't get
entered. So who knows how much we actually might have
missed," Sanson said. "In the ready mix industry, a 10 yard load
of concrete is about the most you can have on a ticket. So if we
did a 100-yard order, which is basically a basement, then we'd
have 10 tickets.
They were manually entered into the system. Every time you
touch a ticket, there was a chance for error. Without the audit
trail, we were really vulnerable. I almost immediately started
working on researching and seeing what else was out there
that could fill our needs a lot better."
That search led to Spectrum, which connected with its ticketing
systems and other solutions to create a streamlined flow of
data into and out of its accounting and billing departments.
Spectrum is a complete construction management ERP, and
part of the connected, cloud-based Trimble Construction One
suite of construction solutions. It delivers connected data across
accounting, project management and field management for
real-time, optimized construction workflows.
"Now when we go through and batch all of our concrete, we
simply edit all of the tickets and make sure they are correct,
any additional charges are added to it and then it is a simple
download into Spectrum and we're ready to bill the customer,"
Sanson said.
