Everything is in one place now, which is very helpful. Now, when a contractor calls in to see where they are with their inspections, everything is in one place, and any of us in the office can pull it up. Before, they were just doing Excel sheets and PDF documents, and we didn’t have visibility into them. There has even been improved communication between departments. In addition, this program provides one platform in which we can all do our approvals, see who has approved it, and know when and if they need more information.
