Case Study: Westphal & Co. boosts labor management and saves $200K annually with LaborChart

Westphal & Co. - Customer Case Study

Westphal & Co., an electrical contractor operating across 15 states, faced significant challenges in managing its dispersed workforce. Prior to using LaborChart, the company relied on a chaotic and inefficient combination of spreadsheets and constant emails. This system lacked transparency and manageability, a problem that was compounded when the company eliminated its general superintendent role and tasked its project managers with direct labor management without providing them with effective tools.

By implementing LaborChart, the vendor provided a centralized platform for real-time workforce management and data analysis. The solution eliminated manual processes, provided complete visibility into worker assignments and availability, and enabled efficient scheduling. LaborChart delivered a substantial measurable impact, with the company conservatively estimating an annual savings of $200,000, equivalent to the productivity of two journeyman wiremen. Beyond the quantified savings, the tool fundamentally improved internal systems and operational relationships.
