Mechanical-Services Company Bolsters Profitability With Strategic Insight

Tolin Mechanical Systems provides design and build, maintenance, and facilities management services and has more than 1,200 maintenance contracts representing over 40,000,000 rentable square feet of commercial, retail, and industrial space. As the company expanded beyond Denver, Colorado, to Phoenix, Arizona; Washington, D.C.; and other U.S. cities, Tolin required greater visibility into what was happening in the business and what was coming in the months ahead. The company researched enterprise resource planning systems and engaged Microsoft Gold Certified Partner WennSoft to implement a solution based on Microsoft Dynamics GP. By using the solution, Tolin has the ability to track labor costs in real time and forecast resource requirements up to six months in advance.
