“ As we are always looking for new ways to gather data to help drive our company forward , we implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning ( ERP ) system a couple of months ago . This helps us identify bottlenecks and shortcomings while providing us with live data . So , if we notice any problems , we can promptly adjust and adapt to fix them . Because we are carpenters and millworkers working in an industry focused on manual labor , we often lag in gathering data . However , we have found an ERP system that was built specifically for our industry , and we anticipate it will be highly beneficial for our company . Besides that , we use 3D laser mapping systems in the field for
templating . In the future , we plan to use a new product , which will help us map out entire jobsites with images captured using a GoPro . We haven ’ t signed up for that service yet , but we plan to do so next year . We try to leverage as much technology as possible and I truly believe that we should engage with the innovations our customers produce here , in the Silicon Valley ,” Michael ends .
