360 Enterprises LLC (360e) has helped to usher in an era in field management with its quoting, scheduling, tracking, and billing software designed by contractors, for contractors. It is designed to remedy contractors’ pain points; 360e field management software represents a tool designed to keep team members connected, avoid wasted time and duplicative efforts, and capitalize on business-building opportunities.
Small-to-medium-sized contracting firms often struggle with a number of concerns, including inefficient job quotation processes and disconnected computer systems that result in logistical errors, scheduling snafus, and other oversights. Larger contracting firms have the scale to tap into the market’s more sophisticated field management software, however, smaller firms often find themselves abandoned by those software providers and overwhelmed by the many solutions available in the market.
Designed by a team with contracting experience, 360e field management software offers small-to-medium-sized contracting firms a mobile device-friendly solution that addresses contractor pain points through the following capabilities:
- Quoting – capable of supporting everything from simple to complex jobs, 360e’s quotation system enables quotes to be created and managed as well as sent and tracked from a central location. And through its Best Practice Alerts, the system issues reminders to keep contractors on top of their business and able to capitalize on opportunities.
- Scheduling – designed for ease of use, 360e’s scheduling system connects all office and field team members to ensure that tasks don’t fall through the cracks. The system also understands that schedules change in the real world and recalibrates to keep team members updated and on track.
- Tracking – Time is money and delays, errors, or inconsistencies in labor hours, materials, costs, and other important job-related details can hinder payment and hurt profits. 360e recognizes that connectivity is critical and tracks, stores, and shares labor hours, change orders, files, images, and job updates from the field in real time, avoiding information lags or trips back to the office. Thanks to 360e’s tracking capabilities, information will no longer be lost or delayed and customer disputes can be researched and resolved or avoided entirely.
- Billing – Late and/or inaccurate invoices can destroy a contractor’s cash flow and drive the business under. With 360e, however, time sheets and information related to materials and costs are tracked, enabling contractors to streamline their billing process and customers to trust the invoices they receive.
- Reporting – 360e’s reporting features can help contractors analyze their sales, assess their performance, evaluate the status of each customer, and uncover opportunities for sales and profitability improvement.
