Hold onto your hard hats, today’s manufacturing environment is moving fast! Staying on top of shop operations has now become crucial for improving efficiency and streamlining processes. One tool that has revolutionized the industry is EVOLVE Shop. Let’s walk through some of the game-changing ways it can improve your fab shop.

Productivity Challenges
EVOLVE Director of Customer Success, Amber Zinky, has worked in the MEP industry for years and in her role helps contractors to optimize their BIM and prefab processes. On a recent webinar, Zinky shared that many shop managers complain about receiving an overwhelming number of phone calls- 50 to 80 per day! This causes significant distractions from their core responsibilities. These phone calls often lead to changes in the project plan, necessitating updates to Excel spreadsheets or sending numerous emails to notify relevant parties about the changes.

Another major challenge field teams face is work order tracking. Manually tracking work orders on spreadsheets and across multiple platforms causes huge delays. Plus, it makes it impossible for your team to have fully visibility into the progress being made on builds. All of your team’s stakeholders need to get the most up-to-date information on builds. Real-time tracking is the key to getting accurate information and keeping projects on track.
