Problem

American Fence Company is a growing business with several locations across the Midwest. The company has built multiple business lines and engages in hundreds of installation projects annually. American Fence Company had been using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to organize its work. However, the company's fast growth was proving hard to scale in spreadsheets. They needed a centralized database and employee-facing portal to track project details.

Solution

Volano helped map out American Fence Company’s new project management system. The objective was to replace the spreadsheets used to track sold projects, schedule upcoming installs, monitor supplies used while on-site, and to collaborate with finance on when projects should be invoiced and commissions paid. Volano built a comprehensive and user-friendly web-based portal that shows the information each person involved in a project needs to work efficiently. This includes important alerts so team members know what needs immediate attention. Project managers can schedule and monitor all projects they oversee at a glance.

Outcomes

The implementation of a centralized database and web portal has worked well for American Fence Company and has completely replaced their old spreadsheet system, giving them efficient, scalable workflows and viability into operations they didn't have before. In fact, it has worked so well that the company has been adding new features and modules to the system. American Fence Company is now working with Volano to extend the database's function to the sales team by adding a mobile estimating system.
