VIEWPOINT.com | +1 800.333.3197 Alafaci adds: "Furthermore, our reliance on Excel spreadsheets for financial management also carried risks with the key concern being human error. A simple mistake could potentially lead to major consequences such as misquoting or incorrectly invoicing a customer." Based on these perceived threats and the growing demands on the business due to its success, Planet Plumbing started researching a replacement system to reduce risk and improve efficiency. Alafaci elaborates, "Rapid business growth gives rise to greater responsibility in better managing projects across multiple sites, as well as specific client requirements and staffing. The necessity to estimate, manage, report on, and forecast jobs more accurately to minimise our financial risk were the key drivers in finding a replacement for our legacy system." A Reputation of Raising the Bar Alafaci led an evaluation team that looked closely at solutions over a six-month period with a particular emphasis on one that would improve its reporting capabilities. The team included regional general managers and the financial group. Solutions reviewed included CHEOPS, iProsoft, and Jobpac by Viewpoint. "During the evaluation process, we noted the many positive comments we received from users about the Jobpac enterprise management solution. These companies were our clients and many of the large building companies we deal with such as Lipman." says Alafaci. "It soon became clear that Jobpac by Viewpoint was the right solution for us; its reporting functionality outstripped its competitors," comments Alafaci. "I was keenly aware of our need for accurate business forecasting, cash flow, and financial planning. Jobpac proved to be the best suited to our needs in all areas. It also had a well-established reputation in the construction business, so we made a decision to cement the partnership and proceed with the implementation." Since deploying Jobpac, Planet Plumbing is able to view, assess, and value all projects across the group in a timely manner – something that was impossible prior to using Jobpac. According to Alafaci, "Jobpac has significantly lifted the bar on our project reporting capabilities as I was keenly aware of our need for accurate business forecasting, cash flow, and financial planning. Jobpac proved to be the best suited to our needs in all areas. –Anthony Alafaci, Group Managing Director, Planet Plumbing
