Case Study: Cherry Coatings streamlines change orders and T&M tracking with Clearstory

Cherry Coatings protects $785M in trade revenue with Clearstory

Cherry Coatings, a major commercial painting contractor, was facing significant challenges with its inefficient, paper-based process for tracking time and material tickets and change order requests. This manual system led to lost paperwork and project teams being reluctant to even track extra work, which could cost up to 10% of project revenue. They sought a solution from vendor Clearstory to modernize this workflow.

Clearstory provided a real-time, cloud-based change order log and digital T&M tags that seamlessly integrated with Cherry Coatings' existing CMiC software. This eliminated manual data entry, streamlined communication with general contractors, and provided field teams with an easy-to-use interface. The results were substantial, including 67,842 hours of project team time savings and the processing of $1.2 billion in change order requests. Clearstory's solution modernized the process, wowing general contractors and providing a scalable system for the company's expansion.
