Case Study: Tharp Plumbing achieves better workforce visibility and job cost control with LaborChart

LaborChart helps empower commercial plumbing contractor

Tharp Plumbing Systems, a commercial plumbing contractor serving the Orlando, Florida area, needed a better way to manage 20–25 active jobs and track constantly moving crews. The company was relying on an Excel spreadsheet to monitor labor, which was accurate by the end of the week but left them guessing during the week, especially with a labor incentive program tied to hours saved.

Tharp Plumbing implemented LaborChart’s cloud-based workforce management platform to centralize workforce, scheduling, and job cost data. With LaborChart, the team gained full visibility across projects, used Gantt, Boards, and Totals views to plan staffing and leadership meetings, and integrated the platform with existing systems. The result was a single source of information that helped Tharp forecast labor needs, know weekly hours by project, and keep crews informed with a click of a button.
