Sitetracker’s Post

Transcript

My name is Matt Connelly, I am with Westchester Services and my role is a project manager and also a Business development manager over there. Yeah. So some of the challenges we had were, you know, just trying to meet client deadlines, forecasting a lot of our team was using their own personal like Excel files. And then we actually had a company come build us a custom Excel program. But the big problem was it would run very slow. So you could go site to site, but it would take two minutes to load a site. And if you're on a deployment call with an AT&T or a T-Mobile, you have to be able to answer their questions if when's this do? Right away, so we were approached, we heard of sight tracker and just using the systems and makes it instantaneously, quick updates and a lot faster for reporting, forecasting dates, checking PO statuses and pretty much everything we would need on a daily basis. It makes it so much easier for our team internally to share data from one manager to another. Again, originally we had our own private Excel sheets, so if you wanted to send it to someone in the other department, you'd have to e-mail it over. They'd have to look on the server. With site tracker, you know everyone. It's universal trackers that you can view publicly from the whole team with logins. So any information sharing, any forecast sharing. Like if I'm out sick for a day, I don't have to leave a long list for the person covering for me. They can just go into site tracker and they find exactly what they need for forecasting for clients and even checking statuses of PO or invoices to our subcontractors. There have been definitely some significant changes from using site tracker to our old system. It's we're much faster to be able to reply to to clients on deployment calls. You can pull up the site information a lot faster and it's just, it's easier sharing even the the color coding systems if something is past due on a forecast, it automatically changes to that red color. So it's, it's just very nice being able to see it all in in one snapshot. Ohh, yes, we've, we've definitely seen some efficiency gains from using site tracker again, productivities increased because you're not opening a million spreadsheets. You got the one browser you click into a different tracker. Everyone has their own dashboard set up as well, so you can see everything in real time as you refresh. And it's, it's really increased our our ability to take on more work than what we were normally doing because you can manage it and track it just so much better. I would say our work to quantify it, it's almost maybe doubled our ability to take on more sites and just manage more items and outside of just even site counts more clients. So various clients you can build a custom tracker for a Verizon or a T-Mobile and you can click back and forth between them, you know, click of a mouse. So it's, it's far better and faster for our teams to to be productive with everything. And yeah, I'd say it's probably about doubled our our productivity that we can do. Yeah, if I wanted to tell someone, I mean, I tell people quite often that they should be using Site Tracker to begin with. But yeah, usually you'll tell them, you know, if you're using an old Excel spreadsheet or even some of the older systems, going into Site Tracker is just so much faster. Again, you would create the the one side or the project, whatever date you populate, it goes to anyone in everyone's trackers that's been built. It's it's just, it's so much easier. It's right at your fingertips. If you wanted to any of the information you need, there's really no hunting for it anymore. It's faster and most of it is a lot easier and more consolidated into one spot. So it's, you're not hunting over here for this item or over there for that item. It's all right where you need it. And you can, I mean, you can customize your tractors. If you only want to see five different things, you can set up one for that. You can set up one for 10 things. We, we have trackers for our purchase orders, our subcontractor invoicing. It's I, I honestly, I love the tracker feature and all the custom ability into it. We definitely have some growth goals. We've actually been expanding traditionally we're in the telecom industry, so we got it set up for our telecom portion, but we've been in talks with the site tracker team to do a fiber based template and then also EV charging. So just the the versatility we're seeing that that expansion and growth where we can take on additional markets outside of our our normal spectrum that we work in. Site tracker is very important for all those critical steps. It's again, it's everything is right at your fingertips. It's just, it's faster, it's more efficient. We've had demos from some of the other, you know, competitors of site tracker and honestly, site tracker, I believe just out beats all of them for the efficiency and the, the ability to follow along. It's not like you're trying to figure out extreme coding to, to learn how to do any part of site tracker. It's all very user friendly and it's, it's just a really nice platform. Yeah, there's definitely been an increase. I would say my personal efficiency as a project manager, it's increased about tenfold. I've taken on about, you know, 10 more 10 times the amount of site work that I've done before in the last several years with the company. And tracking it through site tracker has made it just 1000 times easier for me to get my reports to our my clients and to AT&T's, the Verizons. So it's, it's just, it makes everything more efficient. I can schedule drafter work through it. And all sorts of different aspects.
