Hartzell Construction, a South Florida-based construction firm, was facing challenges with its legacy software, ProContractor. The software was difficult to use and failed to provide the insights, data, and back-office foundation the company needed. The company had to create manual workarounds for vendor and subcontractor approval processes, which were lengthy and prone to errors. The paper trail per project was often hard to reconstruct and reconcile, and as the company grew, so did the paper - mountainous piles and files eventually filled an entire room. The company was also frustrated with ProContractor's per-seat licenses, which were expensive and limited the number of users who could access the system at the same time.
