Case Study: Tom’s Mechanical Inc. achieves $30,000/year inventory savings and cuts month‑end closes to minutes with Vertical Market Software

Tom’s Mechanical Inc. - Customer Case Study

Tom’s Mechanical Inc., a commercial and residential HVAC provider serving the Arlington and Dallas/Fort Worth areas, was hampered by an in-house IBM legacy system that couldn’t scale. Manual handwritten dispatches led to duplicate entries and double billing, so Tom’s Mechanical turned to Vertical Market Software for a complete integrated business management solution.

Vertical Market Software implemented an integrated system to automate payroll, accounts receivable and inventory management, allowing payroll processing to shrink from days to hours and month-end payroll close to about five minutes (service close to about one minute). Accounts receivable month-end close dropped from roughly 40 hours to about one hour, inventory tracking with serial numbers saved $30,000 per year, and the company eliminated duplicate billing and many manual paper processes.
