Switch to Sage Timberline Office Helps Mechanical Contractor Increase Productivity and Improve Collaboration

The Portland, Ore.-based company has received numerous awards, including the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s top safety distinction in 2006 and the Gold U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for existing buildings (LEED-EB) rating in 2006 for the energy efficiency of its own office building.

Hunter-Davisson’s high standards extend to its operations. That’s why when facing rapid growth, the company began looking for a business management solution.

“We had a Service Management system that was inflexible and outdated. In addition, we were performing many processes manually and with Excel spreadsheets, entering the same data two and three times. That made it difficult to manage growth,” says Dave Wright, vice president of Hunter-Davisson. “We chose Sage Timberline Office because it was one of the few solutions designed specifically for construction that spanned our entire business—including new construction and service. The system also works easily with third-party products, which allows us to expand our capabilities; for example, we’ve installed mobile software for our service technicians.”

Since Hunter-Davisson implemented Sage Timberline Office, everyone in the company from estimators to project and service managers to purchasing, inventory and accounts payable personnel use the same system.
