Mountainside Materials is a construction materials supplier and dirt broker specializing in coordinating material delivery and earth-moving services for commercial construction projects. As a key intermediary between material suppliers and construction sites, they manage complex logistics involving multiple jobs, trucking vendors, and material suppliers daily.
The company relied heavily on paper-based processes and basic digital tools like Google Sheets to manage its operations. Their previous system required multiple manual data entries for each job across different platforms, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors.
Ace Workflow implemented their 'Minimize Manual' process to create a centralized operations platform:
The main daily management was very time consuming. Before, we would have one person enter the job, someone else would have to enter it in the template, someone else would have to add it into QuickBooks. Now we just enter it in one spot and it flows directly through with a click of a button

From: Managing 10-25 daily jobs through paper-based processes, multiple manual data entries, and individual text messages to vendors, creating significant administrative overhead.
To: A streamlined operation with single-point data entry, automated communications, and centralized job management, enabling efficient handling of variable daily workloads with reduced administrative staff.
