Case Study: Williams Contracting achieves real-time field spend visibility with Adaptive Cards

Williams Contracting captures 100% of field spend with Adaptive

Williams Contracting, a builder based in Olympia, WA, faced the challenge of tracking its numerous small, everyday field purchases, which collectively represented a significant portion of project costs. These transactions were historically difficult to capture, creating a blind spot in job costing and making it difficult for the company to accurately assess its profitability. They turned to Adaptive and its Adaptive Cards product to solve this problem.

By implementing Adaptive Cards, Williams Contracting gave each employee a card tied to them, which prompted them to upload receipts and assign cost codes and jobs in real time at the point of purchase. This solution provided full visibility into all monthly field spend, transforming their month-end reconciliation and job cost tracking. As a result, the company now captures 100% of its field spend, bringing clarity to a previously opaque 10-15% of project costs and providing peace of mind through accurate, real-time numbers.
