Case Study: Astro Interior Contracting achieves faster, automated material purchasing with Field Materials procurement software

Astro Interior cuts AP processing from weeks to days with Field Materials

Astro Interior Contracting, a family-owned drywall and acoustical contractor, faced a major operational challenge with its highly manual material purchasing process. The company relied on Excel spreadsheets and email to manage purchase orders and invoices, a labor-intensive system that overwhelmed its controller and threatened to stall growth. This process required constant backtracking and manual data entry into their Sage 300 CRE system.

Field Materials implemented its procurement software for construction to automate Astro Interior's purchasing and accounts payable. The solution uses AI to automatically match delivery tickets and invoices to purchase orders, verify pricing, and export approved invoices directly into Sage 300 CRE. This dramatically increased operational efficiency for Astro Interior, reducing accounts payable processing from weeks to just a few days of part-time effort. The automation provided by Field Materials eliminated the need to hire additional staff, allowing the company to handle increased workload and grow its margins with the same team.
