New System Saves Time

Kohler lauds the time-saving benefits of the system. For instance, when a job is first entered, the customer data automatically goes onto the shipping labels and the receiver slips that customers must sign.

"We only have to enter everything once," she enthuses.

The system is very close to being fully implemented at the in-plant. The billing application is still undergoing some modifications to enable it to interface with the accounts payable department, but the job tracking, job ticketing, and material and labor cost retrieval functions have all been running smoothly.
