Case Study: Pieper-Houston Electric L.P. achieves streamlined purchasing and higher profitability with Viewpoint's Spectrum construction software

Pieper-Houston Realizes New Purchasing Power With Spectrum Construction Software

Pieper-Houston Electric L.P., a Houston-based electrical contractor, faced inefficient, manual purchasing: handwritten purchase orders, phone- and fax-based field requests, slow tracking, and limited phase-code detail. These processes slowed projects, obscured job costs and estimates, and reduced profitability.

After implementing Spectrum construction software and a 300-item ordering form, Pieper-Houston automated PO creation, applied inventory item codes and deeper phase-code tracking, and streamlined purchasing workflows. The result: clearer material and job-cost visibility, better estimates and more profitable bids, time and labor savings for foremen and purchasing staff, and improved project planning.
