Challenge	Mission Bell, a company specializing in custom casework and reclaimed lumber, was facing a challenge. Their clients were requesting increasingly complex projects with faster turnaround times. The company realized that to meet these demands, they needed to become more efficient rather than just assigning more people to a project. The complexity of the designs and the speed at which they were expected to be completed required a solution that would increase collaboration, reduce errors, and enable quicker turnaround times.

About Customer	Mission Bell is a company that specializes in custom casework and reclaimed lumber. The company has made a shift towards more custom work in recent years, as their customers have requested increasingly complex designs. Along with this, customers are also demanding faster turnaround times. To meet these demands, Mission Bell has tapped into their most important resource - their people - to harness powerful technologies. The company operates out of an 80,000-square-foot shop and uses technology not only in the shop but also in the office and in the field. Read More
Solution	Mission Bell adopted Bluebeam Revu, a tool that allowed for instant information sharing between the field, office, and shop, and for more efficient collaboration both internally and with outside clients. From the time Mission Bell wins a project, they begin tracking its progress in a Bluebeam Studio Session, which allows multiple stakeholders to view, edit, and manage documents in real time. This real-time collaboration allows for rapid response to any changes and RFIs, saving precious time. The company also uses Revu to handle the various documents that are being uploaded and edited, from architectural drawings to shop drawings, field measurements, tweaks by an owner or GC, and RFIs from the shop machinists.
