Case Study: VFC Lightning Protection achieves $340K annual savings and near‑real‑time field reporting with TrueContext (ProntoForms)

VFC stays grounded with ProntoForms

VFC, a Utah-based leader in lightning protection, grounding and surge protection systems with more than 600 active projects, was hampered by antiquated paper-based daily reporting that created delays and inefficiencies for its traveling field teams. To modernize its process and accelerate report submission, VFC adopted ProntoForms, a mobile field-data collection solution.

ProntoForms enabled crews to submit CRM-linked, media-rich forms from phones and tablets—auto-populating job details, attaching site photos, and delivering reports in near real time—cutting daily journal time from about 30 minutes to five. The change drove measurable savings: $25,000/month in field operations, $40,000/year in payroll and invoicing, and total annual savings of $340,000 for VFC.
