Watkins Erosion Control Eliminates $9K Per Month in Lost Labor Costs with CuroAtlanta, Dec. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Curo, a leading home and field service application provider is helping Watkins Erosion Control save approximately $9K per month in lost labor costs after the company rolled out the application to its field services crews. Watkins deploys work crews to prevent erosion at vulnerable construction sites around Atlanta, Georgia. The hectic schedule and disconnected workforce at disparate locations was creating daily chaos for the company. Through Curo, Ashley and his Crew Leads assign the right worker to each task, with customer information, driving directions and job details communicated to workers so they have everything they need right at their fingertips to complete a job. When a project is done, the worker takes a picture and sends it to a Crew Lead for confirmation that it was done right. And throughout the day, Ashley can track the progress of work as it happens. “With Curo’s scheduling and location features, we were immediately able to deploy crews to sites faster, and have recaptured 150 wasted labor hours per week,” said Osterholt. The increased productivity has increased the number of jobs that Watkins completes in a week, and Watkins is using those found hours to put its crews to work more often. "With Curo my time spent scheduling was cut by 3 1/2 hours a day,” said Osterholt. “We saved $450 on the very first day by deploying our crews 30 minutes earlier, so Curo paid for itself in less than 2 days...and I believe we’ll gain another half-hour of labor a day.” For more detail on Curo’s work with Watkins Erosion Control, please see the full case study. Curo provides workers with clear expectations, communication and training all within one intuitive application—whether they’re in the office, the four walls of a facility, or out in the field—while enabling managers to track performance of projects as they happen and visually confirm when they are completed. # # # Will Haraway Backbeat Marketing 404.593.8320 [email protected] |
