Case Study: Midwest Environmental Inc. achieves cleaner, more accurate job costing with Foundation Software

An Environmental Contractor Cleans up Its Job Costing

Midwest Environmental Inc., a specialty abatement and hazardous‑waste contractor founded in 1983, faced inaccurate and underutilized job‑cost accounting after a third party had taken shortcuts in their FOUNDATION system—entering A/P as journal entries and leaving gaps in data. Office manager Daniel T. Wilburn joined after implementation and confronted the challenge of cleaning up the database and learning to use the software properly to get reliable job costing.

By working with Foundation Software’s training, consulting and support and adding modules like Time & Material and Inventory, Midwest Environmental rebuilt their processes and reporting. They now run monthly job‑profit summaries, drill into costs by job, estimator and supervisor, invoice and collect faster, and realize meaningful cost savings and improved visibility into project performance.
