PowerFlow Solutions’ Document Management System Repairs Holes in Frederic Roofing’s Workflow
When Frederic Roofing’s paper consumption went through the roof, the trusted St. Louis business turned to PowerFlow Solutions to install a document imaging solution to effectively track and manage all documents in a digital format.
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) September 14,
2011
Over the course of eighty-two years,
Frederic Roofing has become a successful
business and a household name in the St.
Louis area; but, with the growth of the
company, came the inevitable overflow of a
necessary, yet overwhelming by-product:
paper. In order to maintain the pace of
their success and adapt to the digital age,
Frederic Roofing turned to PowerFlow
Solutions, a St. Louis based provider of
document management and document imaging
solutions, to enhance workflow efficiencies
and improve customer service.
“With PowerFlow’s document management system, we will only become more efficient and more organized - we are knocking out five birds with one stone. Most importantly, we will have more time to do what is most important … sell roofs,” said Gene Frederic III, Vice President at Frederic Roofing.
Prior to teaming with PowerFlow Solutions, Frederic Roofing had been using a successful, yet predominantly manual process that was somewhat labor intensive. PowerFlow took the time to help the roofing company find those areas that could be automated and helped define articulate value as measured by saving in cost, time and effort. After meeting with PowerFlow, it became apparent that Frederic Roofing had the potential to remove at least 1/3 of their current manual steps with the software.
“We had considered doing this many times but no one had pro-actively taken the time to help us determine what steps had merit and what we should avoid,” said Frederic. “Brett Taylor and the PowerFlow Team opened our eyes to some real savings that would not have been realized without an outsider influence. It was an exciting team effort working in that type of manner.”
PowerFlow Solutions’s main
objective is to review their clients’
current business systems and processes and
customize the PowerFlow Software to match
their needs. With a user-friendly interface
that is immediately recognizable by anyone
who has worked with paper and paper filing,
the PowerFlow product is organized like an
existing file cabinet, only digital: making
it easier to find, use, share, collect and
distribute information.
Even in the early stages of PowerFlow
implementation, Frederic Roofing has
noticed measurable progress in a number of
day-to-day business processes. The
company’s improved, online file
folder reduces the time and costs that are
associated with storage, search and
retrieval, maintenance, and lost documents.
In addition, the reliable roofing company
is setting the bar for their industry in
terms of speed of delivery and customer
satisfaction. Customer service is no longer
delayed by manual document filing and
retrieval, as documents can now be accessed
with the click of a mouse. Daily steps that
used to take anywhere from ten minutes to a
half of day are now being routinely
accomplished in seconds.
“Their ‘intimidation’ and ‘fear’ of going paperless has been replaced with: ‘Wow!’ - It is possible to do this with less paper and less energy. Over the past eighty-two years, Frederic Roofing has completed 70,800 jobs without PowerFlow. I am looking forward to seeing how many we can accomplish together in the next eighty-two years,” said Taylor. “We are much honored to have a fourth generation company with such a credible reputation join the PowerFlow Family.”
