Challenge	RENU Contracting and Restoration, a third-generation business providing contracting, restoration, and emergency response services, was facing significant challenges with their manual processes. The IT department was spending countless hours setting up special email accounts to trigger work, which was not only time-consuming but also hampered productivity.

Solution	In search of a solution to these challenges, Michael Casamento, the Director of Process and Procedure at RENU Contracting and Restoration, discovered Kissflow during a web search. He was looking for an automation tool to handle workflows associated with suppliers billing the company incorrectly, tracking incorrect/defective items, and installation-related quality control issues. Kissflow was chosen for its features, ease of use, and value for money. The company began building workflows for the check requests process and processing merchandise returns to suppliers. They experienced their first win when managers could accurately track complex processes from start to finish. Soon, they moved on to automate other operations, such as claims processing consisting of three separate processes, debit memo processing, and maintenance requests for vehicles and equipment. Today, Kissflow has become an essential tool used to manage many of RENU’s critical processes and is well-liked by managers and end users. Read More Log in to view content
