Have you ever felt in the dark about the financial staus of your projects ?
In the dynamic world of civil construction, being able to make good decisions is critical to business success. At the helm of Peninsula Civil Solutions, Rob Boland was well aware of this. Managing a thriving civil construction enterprise, he was constantly on the lookout for avenues for improvement. Yet, he felt encumbered by the manual Excel and paper-based systems in place, which threatened to become a major impediment to the company’s forward momentum.
As Rob explored the market in search of a solution, he was met with a host of tools, each promising to be the solution to his challenges. Yet, many of these systems were far too complex, a major deterrent for on-site staff who might not have been tech-savvy. Furthermore, the exorbitant implementation fees made many of these options unfeasible. It wasn’t just about finding a solution; Rob was seeking a tool that could blend business critical insights with simplicity of use.
Varicon caught Rob’s eye not just for its features, but for its unique approach. One particular philosophy that resonated with him was Varicon’s commitment to creating “Fat Finger Friendly’‘ software. Rob was acutely aware of the challenges many of his workers face when navigating on phone apps. Varicon’s emphasis on designing software for front-line construction workers was a major attraction.
He reflected, “Finding the right tool is not just about solving today’s problems; it’s about paving the way for tomorrow’s growth. With Varicon’s ‘Fat Finger Friendly’ approach, we didn’t just find a solution; we found a partner for our journey.”
Opting to integrate Varicon into his operations, Rob found the transition smooth, a testament to its user-centric design and the dedicated customer success team from Varicon, who ensured Peninsula Civil Solutions were well supported each step of the way. Still, any change, however positive, requires adjustment. The new system, with its fresh features, was a departure from old methods. But thanks to Varicon’s intuitive design and their continuous support and training, the adaptation phase was short and easy.
– Payroll Efficiency and Cost Savings: With Varicon’s mobile timekeeping & payroll automation, Peninsula Civil Solutions was able to save 30% of the time previously spent on payroll processing. This efficiency translated to tangible cost savings, with the company saving approximately $10k per annum.
– Enhanced Communication and Project Management: The use of virtual site diaries streamlined communication across the team. This technological advantage minimised the need for frequent progress meetings, resulting in both time and cost savings. The transparent nature of these virtual diaries granted the team better control over project deadlines, fostering overall operational efficiency.
– Boost in Progress Claim Efficiency: Varicon’s system proved instrumental in enhancing the efficiency of progress claims by 25%. More importantly, it significantly improved the accuracy of these claims, ensuring that the company’s financial transactions were more reflective of actual project progress.
– Accuracy in Timesheets: The accuracy of timesheets witnessed an improvement of approximately 20%. With more accurate time logs, the company could ensure that every worker’s contribution was appropriately logged and compensated
– Reconciliation Efficiency: The process of reconciling project costs, which can be a tedious and time-consuming task, became faster with Varicon. The company reported a decrease in the time spent on this task by up to 25%, allowing for a more immediate understanding of project expenditures.
The efficiency didn’t stop at mere processes. The on-site staff, previously wary of tech-intensive solutions, found the “Fat Finger Friendly” design of Varicon empowering. Tasks that once seemed daunting on digital platforms became straightforward, reducing potential errors and boosting confidence.
Conclusively, Rob Boland’s vision, combined with the power of Varicon’s inclusive software design, has heralded a new era for Peninsula Civil Solutions. The company now boasts enhanced productivity and operational efficiency, all while ensuring that every team member, regardless of their tech proficiency, feels included and empowered.
Peninsula Civil Solutions exist to do good quality work and encourage people to apply themselves for an honest days living, whilst being a great, supportive place to be, so that people can be proud of what they do, looking after their families and each other.
“Finding the right tool is not just about solving today’s problems; it’s about paving the way for tomorrow’s growth. With Varicon’s ‘Fat Finger Friendly’ approach, we didn’t just find a solution; we found a partner for our journey.”
“The time I used to spend manually sorting through our payroll data was killing me, taking me away from other tasks that were mounting. There just wasn’t enough time in the day, but my guys need to get paid. Varicon has already paid for itself…we’re already in the bonus after just a couple of months.”
“Varicon is a business with very passionate people. They are always working hard, chasing me, chasing my team. They consistently work on their roadmap and update the software. We want something to really help us build our business. I see the potential. We’ll grow and I want us to grow together.”
“Varicon is a global software system that is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the civil construction sector. We love the fact that Varicon has taken a bit of time, worked really really hard at producing a software that has a bit of an Apple feel when it comes to ease of use.“
