Real-World Project Profile
|
Problem:
Sharp Engineering is a local small business that does construction
inspection and certification. For years, inspection certificates and
invoices had been hand-typed and tracked manually. Instead of being
able to take time off, the owner and his wife spent their precious
free moments creating and managing these documents long after the
"real work" the company was hired for was accomplished. Every
certificate and invoice was handled individually and, consequently,
the billing process was slow.

Are time hungry paperwork tasks
building up on you?
Sharp Engineering handles their
quality certification and invoicing using
Microsoft® Excel.

Solution:
Beyond Technology worked with Sharp Engineering to develop
a set of automated tools to generate and record documents that
represent business activity. Now the administrator is able
to import a simple data file delivered monthly by their field
inspector. Using
Microsoft® Excel
customized with
Microsoft® Visual Basic for Applications [ VBA ]
, at the push of a button they can create all the certificates
and corresponding invoices. This actually reduced what once
took days, and even sometimes weeks, to only a few minutes.
Furthermore, an accurate record of each transaction is archived
in a database for future reference. It enables the owner to
get paid sooner and rewards him with the freedom to concentrate
on more important facets of his business - like effectively
serving his own clients. Altogether, this saves the company
countless hours each month, since an entire process that was
a major drain on their time now is literally at their fingertips.
