Eliminating the Paper Trail
Tory Tesauro, president of PT Masonry, and his brother, Leo, who
handles the accounting end of the business, explained how their
company had been stagnant for a few years and they were ready to
take it to the next level.
They were using multiple software packages to manage operations,
but were taking advantage of only limited features in each package.
They used Bluebeam and 360 View for takeoff, then would calculate
their estimates manually, and enter the data into QuickBooks to create
a formal estimate. For each new job, they would go through the same
process, entering much of the same materials and labor over and over
again. On the accounting side, other than online banking, PT Masonry's
financial records formed a long paper trail that was collected at the end
of each year and handed over to their accountant.
"We were never able to track our costs very well in the past," explained
Leo. "If prices were fluctuating, we just went with what we knew. We
had no historical trail of information. If the costs on our materials
increased, we would have to eat those costs and at the end of the day
figure out how to remain profitable. We lacked resources and it took
great effort to be profitable or to assess our profitability."
