VIEWPOINT.com | +1 800.333.3197 business that could scale with Prime Build as the business grew and would assure that the firm wouldn't suffer under its own success. In April 2013, thanks to industry advice and connections, Prime Build selected Jobpac by Viewpoint and in December 2014 upgraded to Jobpac Connect in the cloud. "We did research of our own around different systems in the industry and worked out what would be the most rigid software and adaptable to our situation available," he said. Issues And Challenges Solved By Jobpac Jobpac Connect and Prime Build's flourishing relationship has had a number of benefits on the small business. Although the operation was working well without the software, Mr Willemsen has seen first-hand many of the challenges his business experienced disappear thanks to Jobpac Connect. The most tangible benefits include: Multiple Solutions When Prime Build first started, there were few software options to choose from. The company settled on a basic accounting system and Excel spreadsheets for budgeting and other projections. This system allowed the business to operate efficiently for some time, but there were still constant headaches over double data entry and errors filtering through the system. This issue had the potential to slow the young business down as the system was mostly paper-based. As a result, information was hard to track down quickly and invoice delays could take days to sort out. The powerful integration of Jobpac Connect's one stop shop solution eliminated the need for these multiple systems and spreadsheets and allowed Prime Build to better manage data and information flow across the business. Costs Small businesses often face challenges associated with ongoing costs. Although Prime Build was not in financial difficulty, Mr Willemsen concedes that the business would be in a worse position if it wasn't for Jobpac Connect's comprehensive solutions. Given what they had to offer at the time and its scalability... meant we could adopt it when we are a $10-15 million business, and a year and a half later when we are a business of $30 million turnover — and no doubt in a couple of years' time [when] we will have doubled that [figure] again. –Dean Willemsen Prime Build co-founder
