Case Study: Hicks Lighting Protection achieves 20% efficiency gain and $500/month savings with Actsoft Encore Wireless Forms

Hicks Lighting Protection - Customer Case Study

Hicks Lighting Protection, a North Texas construction firm specializing in lightning protection and grounding, serves a 50,000-square-mile area from multiple offices and struggled to exchange vehicle reports, customer information, job reports and timesheets across long distances. Paper forms were inefficient and slowed communication, so Hicks turned to Actsoft for a mobile data-capture solution.

Actsoft implemented Encore’s Wireless Forms so field technicians could submit custom timesheets, time-off requests, maintenance reports and expenses from mobile devices. The solution compiled field data into reports, reduced paper costs, sped up processes (timesheets are now turned in daily instead of weekly) and delivered measurable gains — saving more than $500 per month and increasing efficiency by about 20 percent for Hicks Lighting Protection.
