Executive Summary
After facing delays and paperwork bottlenecks in delivering timely reports to clients, GeoMetrics Consulting LLC adopted eFieldData, a cloud-based software for construction materials testing and inspection. Within a year, they significantly improved reporting turnaround, reduced paperwork by 95%, and empowered field and office teams to collaborate more efficiently.
Business Challenge
Before implementing eFieldData, the client’s construction materials testing team struggled with:
