Case Study: Vaughn Industries achieves improved safety performance and $15,540 annual cost savings with Certainty Software (Checkit)

Vaughn Industries Improves Overall Safety Performance and Reduces Costs With Checkit

Vaughn Industries, a nationwide electrical and mechanical contractor with 600+ employees, was struggling with paper-based safety inspections: crews handwrote observations at jobsites and later re-entered them into spreadsheets, creating double-entry work, delays, and messy data. Seeking a mobile solution to capture inspections on-the-fly, Vaughn Industries selected Certainty Software’s Checkit after seeing a demo and peer recommendations.

Certainty Software implemented the Checkit mobile app plus dashboards and custom reporting, eliminating double-entry and enabling instant notifications and incident tracking. As a result, Vaughn Industries now completes about 1,500 inspections per year with estimated savings of $13,200, plus $2,340 saved on incident reporting (totaling $15,540 annually), freed up roughly five hours per week for other tasks, and improved safety communication, workflow, and data quality.
