SUCCESS STORY
Building Company Number 7
The housing market in Nashville is booming. In fact, it currently boasts the third hottest housing industry in the country, due to a strong local economy. Building Company No. 7 is in the middle of the boom, and they’re running fast to keep up with demands.
“We’ve probably saved some in paper, but the time… I don’t know how to put a price on that. Time is key to us. The benefits to us internally have been huge. We’re a small company, and I thought the software would be tailored to big companies, but it’s not. It caters to everybody, no matter how big your business is.”
In business since 2007, they do everything from new construction to full-fledged reconstruction, remodels, and additions. Building and remodeling is often stressful for the homeowner, but their customers stay really happy due to the company’s fantastic quality of work, beautiful craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
Customers also love Building Company No. 7 for their great communication and ability to keep them informed and in the loop, alleviating potential problems or fears.
Like any business that has a variety of jobs to manage, challenges include balancing a variety of demanding projects, constant deadlines, and fast-moving, high-quality subcontractors. All of this equals lots and lots of paperwork. There’s no lack of forms in the construction industry—think insurance forms, invoices, contracts, parts, and supplies— and document management can prove to be overwhelming.
“We work in a very tiny office space. We had files to the right, a big paper stack of folders,
and the entire desk was covered.”
They knew it was time to get a handle on the paper overload, and, after researching various systems, chose eFileCabinet—based on how user friendly it seemed and the easy integration with QuickBooks. Implementation was problem-free, and they quickly scanned all existing files and became a paperless office.
This office makeover made all the difference. The once paper-strewn desk is now used to review big architectural drawings. They sold a huge filing cabinet to open up more office space. And the employees are raving.
“Organization is so much better,” says Swarm. “With eFileCabinet, you can find it, click on it, and go. We don’t have files missing, and we have more room to operate.”
In addition to extra office space, the biggest benefit has been time.
“We’ve probably saved some in paper,” Swam says, “But the time… I don’t know how to put a price on that. Time is key to us. The benefits to us internally have been huge. We’re a small company, and I thought the software would be tailored to big companies, but it’s not. It caters to everybody, no matter how big your business is.”
