Case Study: Alexander Wagner Company achieves 500% growth and reduced accounting staff with AccountMate

Equipment Rental Company Grows 500% and Reduces Accounting Staff While Using AccountMate

Alexander Wagner Company, Inc., an equipment rental, repair service, and sales business, needed a more cost-effective way to manage its growing operations as it expanded into multiple companies, larger fleets, and more complex job scheduling and compliance requirements. As the business grew, tracking equipment, operator availability, job costs, and EPA-required maintenance records became increasingly time consuming, and its existing processes were no longer keeping up.

AccountMate SQL, implemented with help from Microtask Consulting, gave Alexander Wagner Company multi-company accounting, real-time multi-view access, drill-down reporting, and customized scheduling and job-costing tools. The result was major time savings and better control across the business: one person now handles all accounting work compared with three people in 1986, while the company has grown to five times the business volume, and the system also automates maintenance tracking to help meet federal compliance requirements.
