Industry Pain Points
Procurement Challenges for Electrical Contractors
Year-Long Lead Times on Critical Equipment
Switchgear and breaker panels can have lead times of up to a year, requiring early price and delivery locks to prevent project delays.
Uncontrolled Ad-Hoc Purchases
Frequent ad-hoc purchases of copper wire, conduit, and fittings during construction make tracking and controlling scattered expenses extremely difficult.
Opaque Service Vehicle Inventory
Service work requires real-time visibility into service vehicle inventory and easy tracking of all service-related expenses, which manual methods cannot deliver.
Complex Prefab Tracking
Prefab is a major component of many electrical projects, requiring support for prefab requests and material tracking to keep projects on schedule.
