McGinty Marine Construction Sees 50% Productivity Improvements with Soonr

Soonr, a leading provider of secure file sharing and collaboration services for business, today announced that McGinty Marine Construction, a fast-growing commercial and residential marine contractor, has dramatically improved mobile access to critical customer information and construction permits using Soonr Workplace. As a result, the marine construction firm has benefitted from workforce productivity improvements of up to 50%.

McGinty Marine Construction is an experienced and professional commercial and residential marine contractor and tidal wetlands consultant that has provided quality workmanship, service, installation and maintenance on the Eastern Shores of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia for over 30 years. The firm custom designs and replaces bulkheads, boardwalks, docks, piers, sea walls, rip rap, boat lifts and more for waterfront property owners throughout the region.

With a highly mobile workforce of construction and boat lift crews, McGinty Marine Construction needed an online file collaboration and paperless file tracking solution that would enable them to streamline the process of maintaining accurate customer data files. With mountains of paper to juggle and not enough physical room to store all of the documents, McGinty wanted to have a solution that was safe, had plenty of storage, and would give the firm mobile access to information in a secure and controlled way.

"We wanted a better way to stay on top of where we were from start to finish - from receiving signed proposals and starting draws to permits from state and local agencies," said Kristin Langdon, Office Manager, McGinty Marine Construction. "These files could be in five different places. Missing signed proposals or permits means we cannot complete our projects and can put valuable time to waste."

To solve its document management challenges, the marine construction firm selected Soonr Workplace. Now the firm uses it every day, company-wide, to track whether it has a customer's signed acknowledgement, permits from issuing agencies and to help solve ticket requests. It also uses the system to store all of its permit data, proposals and job photos.

McGinty Marine Construction has seen the following benefits as a result of using Soonr Workplace:

• 50% improvement in workforce productivity
• Syncs large files in under a minute
• Provides instant search access to vital project information

"We require a very large storage space that syncs with ease and is always up-to-date," said Langdon. "Soonr does this effortlessly. Now, when we are on the go or at a customer's worksite, we can simply log into the mobile application and pull up any pertinent information that is needed to help the customer get to the end result with their project."
