The Challenge: Complex Spreadsheets Consuming Hours of Overtime
Midwest Drywall faced a challenge common in multi-state construction operations: their finance team was managing a tangle of complex spreadsheets that consumed hours of overtime during month-end processes. The challenge was building a solution that could provide real-time visibility into job financials across multiple states while eliminating manual spreadsheet management and improving data accuracy.
The Solution: A Custom Financial Information Matrix
Spectrumware developed a custom financial information matrix built with React and SQL Server. The system includes a read-only EDI backend that pulls data from their existing financial system (Viewpoint: Spectrum), providing real-time visibility into job financials without disrupting their established workflows.
The pivotable reporting interface allows users to instantly explore multiple financial data lines and drill into the details as needed – eliminating the need for manual spreadsheet consolidation.
The Results: Reduced Processing Time and an Ongoing Partnership
Completed over six months, the solution eliminated manual spreadsheet management and significantly reduced month-end processing time. Data accuracy and reporting capabilities both improved, giving the finance team the visibility they needed without overtime.
“The Spectrumware team has delivered exactly what they promised — responsive support, thoughtful development, and a product that’s already adding real value to our business.”
– Josh Gordon, Executive Vice President
