Case Study: Lighthouse Electric Company achieves streamlined, paperless prefabrication and 3,000 kit deliveries with Quickbase

Lighthouse Electric Innovates their Prefabrication Process

Lighthouse Electric, a leading East Coast electrical contractor working with clients like Facebook and GM, created a Planning and Prefabrication division to design, build, and ship electrical kits for complex projects. As the process grew—requiring hundreds of staff across planning, BIM, fabrication, logistics and field installation—the team struggled with outdated Excel-based workflows, poor communication between office and field, duplicate or incorrect orders, and a need for a real-time, adaptable system with automated notifications and strong integrations.

After process-mapping, Lighthouse implemented a Quickbase application to track kits from opportunity to installation, with a three-click mobile form, real-time dashboards, automated alerts, and integrated data sources as a single source of truth. The solution enabled delivery of more than 3,000 kits in 2.5 years, clearer KPI tracking and more accurate estimates, more competitive bids and wins, and better visibility for managers and executives—positioning the company to pursue larger, nationwide projects.
