Contractors are notoriously slow at adapting to new processes and technology. While other industries have readily embraced going paperless, we have lagged behind, clinging to an outdated and clunky system. If ever there was a time to embrace technology in business, it’s now.
This year has taught us that things are rapidly changing. We can’t rely on things that we once thought were certain, like being in the office every day or transferring information on paper. It’s time to embrace paperless technology and the app age.
What we use paper for
The list of items that contractors typically use paper for is long. It includes:
Invoices
Work Orders
Change Orders
Purchase Orders
Balance Sheets
T&M Slips
Inventory Lists
Timesheets
Paystubs
Year End W2s
These papers clutter your office space, take time and space to file and easily get lost, creating even more headaches and lost revenue.
There has to be a better way
Believe me, there is! The right software program will be a gamechanger for your office. STRUCTURE Blue’s Document Management module is a perfect digital filing cabinet. You can attach any type of document to the right place: job, employee, subcontract, customer, vendor, material record, service location and equipment. You won’t waste time searching everywhere for the right document. It will be right where you need it to be every time.
It’s automatic
We rely on technology to do all of the hard work for us these days. This is true for Document Management as well. This module includes automated workflows that make sure your documents are attached to every place you need them to be with one simple step.
No one gets through here
It’s also extremely secure. We know you need to keep information confidential. We’ve made it easy for you to limit access to sensitive job and financial information to only the people who need to be able to access it and no one else.
Take it everywhere
Not all documents need to start out on paper though. Some never have to be on paper at all! Instead you can collect information on your phone or tablet and send it right back to the office and into STRUCTURE Blue, in one simple step. STRUCTURE Mobile gives you the ability to collect time cards, track materials and equipment, create change orders, dispatch service calls and so much more! You can be truly paperless with these apps!

When you have the right tools for the job it’s so much easier! Instead of spending your time sorting through stacks and stacks of paper you can access what you need right from your phone or computer in a matter of minutes. Everything is right where you think it should be, right where you need it to be, every time you need it.
