Overview
Founded in 2000, this material placement services company specializes in hydroseeding, erosion control, and stone delivery for a variety of commercial and residential projects. As the organization expanded, managing operations across multiple job sites using disconnected systems created significant inefficiencies. A unified, end-to-end solution became essential to streamline operations and enhance overall productivity
The challenge
The organization’s previous setup depended on several disconnected systems—such as QuickBooks for ERP, Google Sheets for invoicing, and iSolved for payroll. This fragmented approach led to inefficiencies, data silos, and limited visibility across operations.
MANUAL PROCESSES
Scheduling, billing, and project management were time-consuming and inefficient
LACK OF REAL-TIME DATA
Visibility into financials, project status, and inventory was delayed, hindering decision-making
POOR COMMUNICATION
Coordination between field teams, operators, and dispatchers was slow, leading to operational delays
These inefficiencies were limiting their ability to scale and optimize performance
The solution
With guidance from BlueCollar Cloud, the organization implemented NetSuite ERP and Field Service Management (FSM) to modernize and streamline its operations.
Automated Field Service Management
Assigning tasks to field technicians, tracking vehicle inspections, and managing recurring tasks all became automated, reducing manual work
Real-Time Scheduling and Dispatching
FSM’s dispatch board streamlined task assignments and ensured smooth communication between field teams
Customized Workflows
BlueCollar Cloud developed custom workflows for vehicle-toemployee assignments, improving task coordination and ensuring seamless updates for scheduling and job completion
The results
Since implementing NetSuite, the company has seen transformative improvements across its operations.

Integrated systems eliminated manual processes, significantly speeding up project management, billing, and scheduling.
Real-Time Data Access

The organization is planning to extend NetSuite’s capabilities across additional business units. With continued support from BlueCollar Cloud, they aim to further optimize workflows and drive greater operational efficiency.
