Challenges

As a large-scale general contractor, AM Higley frequently processed large volumes of billing and payment documentation. Unfortunately, they struggled with outdated processes in a company that was fighting to update their image and methodology. They wanted to provide powerful tools as they grew their employee headcount. Additionally, there were inefficiencies and issues with their old methodology, which utilized spreadsheets and non-construction based software systems. These old methods also made it difficult for leadership and administration to analyze and act on data.

Solution

A.M. Higley sought Trimble Pay to improve upon these inefficiencies in their old processes. Trimble Pay provided a powerful solution for their accounting requirements. By generating documents as needed, the office teams could expedite processes that used to take days. With all of the documents in one easy-to-access place, rather than scattered across email inboxes, the team as a whole spent less time tracking down paperwork. Other features like in-depth reporting helped leadership quickly understand the status of projects, and built-in calculators helped cut down on math errors.

Results

Previously, management saw many issues with incorrect data in their paperwork. With Trimble Pay, these errors all but disappeared. Built-in calculators, and automatically generated documents meant that accountants and owners no longer had to try and dig up the right information by hand, or track it across multiple emails, conversations, and documentation. Their team was able to cut down on the time spent filing paperwork by 60%, as they no longer had to spend time correcting errors. Additionally, they didn’t have to worry about onboarding their subcontractors to use the software. One major advantage they chose Trimble Pay for, was that our software is incredibly easy to set up, and we’re happy to train any employees or contractors. As a result, they were quickly able to utilize all of Trimble Pay benefits and get back to their projects.
