Case Study: Walls Construction streamlines subcontractor approvals and invoice processing with RedSky IT

David Strickland is the Divisional Director for Finance at Walls Construction. We asked him about his digital transformation journey so far – and the resultant benefits across the business

Walls Construction, a major Irish building contractor, faced significant inefficiencies in processing hundreds of monthly subcontractor payment certificates. Their manual, paper-based system with up to four approvals per document led to delays, illegible handwriting, payment errors, and constant communication breakdowns with subcontractors. Seeking a modern solution, they turned to their long-time software vendor, RedSky IT, to digitize their processes.

RedSky IT implemented its integrated subcontractor certification and approvals module, replacing the paper trail with a fully digital workflow. This solution streamlined the entire process, eliminating manual data entry and providing complete visibility into the approval chain. The results included faster processing, the eradication of errors, and a more efficient, transparent operation. The digitized system, along with RedSky's hosted cloud platform, also proved invaluable by enabling the entire accounts team to transition to seamless remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic with no disruption to their core processes.
