Caughey claims the number-one benefit from Vantage is the ability to create tailor-made reports and 70-293 analytical tools. "The Vantage reporting tools provide very simple, but powerful reporting capabilities," comments Caughey, who says that he has written almost 400 reports-some in less than 30 minutes. Vantage makes it easy to add reports to menus or export data into other applications like spreadsheets.

"We’ve created a variety of reports designed to give everyone-from the shop floor to the president's office-a very good sense of what is going on," explains Caughey, adding that production 70-297 supervisors are now more empowered and given valuable information on efficiencies.

HVMC is in the processing of implementing Vantage Business Intelligence, which will automate some job reporting and analysis functions. It also features an extensive set of graphical and tabular reports.

Working Smarter

One of HVMC's top criteria for selecting a software system was the ability to provide real-time job costing information. "We wanted to know early on if a job was exceeding expected costs," explains Caughey. "In the past, we wouldn’t know if we made or lost money until after the job was closed."

Using Vantage's 70-528 reporting capabilities, HVMC is able to evaluate WIP and up-to-the-minute costs, analyzing that information against total potential billings for the job.
Problems are identified early on, while there’s still an opportunity for corrections.
Caughey says the savings from this report alone have been significant.
