Case Study: Associated General Contractors of Georgia achieves greater efficiency and cost savings with SmarterSelect

Saving Money with a User-Friendly Program to Award Deserving Candidates with SmarterSelect

Associated General Contractors of Georgia (AGC of Georgia), led by Alyson Abercrombie, needed a modern awards-management solution after 15 years of handling nominations manually and a 2020 vendor consolidation left them searching for a replacement. The association runs three annual programs with 600–700 nominees each year and required a user‑friendly, cost‑effective system for applications, judging and reporting — a need they met by selecting SmarterSelect.

SmarterSelect provided an intuitive, cloud‑based awards management platform with features like automated distribution, common applications, pre‑qualification, evaluation/scoring and robust reporting. AGC of Georgia reports that SmarterSelect is cheaper than competing products, significantly reduces manual work for nominators and judges, and saves time across the organization while offering responsive customer support — enabling the association to process 600–700 nominations per year more efficiently and easily roll out future programs.
