Does This Sound Familiar?
You started your business with your wife and a couple of friends. Your buddy was good at rounding up customers, reviewing titles, tracking down obscure plats, and all the other stuff no one really likes to do. Another friend, did most of the field work, though you'd help in the field when things got a little bit busy. You mostly focused on drafting, engineering, and any emergencies that popped up. Your wife helped with the bookkeeping and billing, though you sometimes had to do that too when she got stuck working late at the hospital. Everything started out well, your customers appreciated your work, and referred additional business. Your company began to grow so you hired on a couple other field crew to help with the additional work. With all these projects coming in, you considered outsourcing some of your drafting and hiring a production manager to help run the projects. As the company grew, you kept hiring more people to do the additional work, and you spent most of your time reviewing the projects before signing off on them. A lot of money was coming in, but after all of the expenses, you really weren't taking home that much more at the end of the month. There were a lot of hassles, and you were spending a lot of time catching small mistakes before they became big problems. Was it really worth all this effort?

Now Imagine Something Better With OnPoint!
Every morning, your assistant checks the details on the new projects that have come in. Your three largest clients have learned how to submit projects into OnPoint directly from your website. The rest still email them in, but her multi-monitor computer makes it easy to copy and paste the details into OnPoint. You monitor the progress in real time from your phone while eating breakfast, and by the time you get to the office, she has already assigned the field work. You sometimes miss the morning meetings, but now the field crew just check their assignments on their tablets and head straight to their jobsites. You begin reviewing the projects and smile when you realize that you can reuse existing resources on your server. This will save you hours, but you still get to charge full price! Then trouble lurks! Jim calls in with truck problems. He was able to get it started, but he doesn’t want to risk getting stranded if it stalls out again. Looking at the equipment log, you can see that Jim is driving a truck you bought used, and it has been in the shop several times this year. Maybe it’s time to trade it in. Jim is coming in early and has already reassigned his last site to someone with a light day. You check the project notes and it’s already being taken care of. You have more important things to focus on, anyway. A client wants to have lunch today, and you can tell by OnPoint’s client project list that these guys are very profitable for you, and pay on time. You head out the door, confident knowing that you can monitor your workflow from your phone.
