Case Study: Hatzel & Buehler achieves modernized operations and real-time project insights with Viewpoint Spectrum

Hatzel & Buehler, Inc. Modernizes Its Operations with Spectrum Construction Software

Hatzel & Buehler, Inc., a historic electrical contractor founded in 1884 with 10 offices across the Northeast and Midwest, was hampered by an aging, heavily patched 1980s software stack. Disconnected on‑prem systems forced manual data reentry, widespread Excel workarounds, poor field access to information, and limited visibility into project productivity, reporting and timely billing.

The company implemented Viewpoint’s Spectrum construction software (cloud‑hosted) and Spectrum Service Tech to unify offices and connect field teams. The new solution delivered real‑time data and business intelligence, streamlined technician work orders and HR processes, eliminated departmental silos, improved collaboration and productivity, and accelerated billing—enabling invoices to be issued weeks faster and giving management clearer insight into project profitability.
