Case Study: Accent Building Restoration achieves 50% profit increase with Xora

National Construction Firm Grows in Tough Times

Accent Building Restoration (ABR) is a 100‑person national construction and property‑maintenance firm whose workforce is more than 80% mobile. When the recession hit, ABR needed to cut costs and boost productivity to survive: paper time sheets produced predictable, overstated hours and managers estimated even small daily overstatements could cost the company nearly $200,000 a year.

ABR deployed Xora’s mobile app on Motorola phones to capture tamper‑proof electronic timecards, GPS‑verified locations and real‑time activity tracking, with data flowing into a web management console for review. At roughly $2,000/month for 80 devices, the solution immediately reduced payroll waste, let ABR lower customer prices, avoid further layoffs, improve service and performance reviews, and drove a 50% increase in profitability in the first year (about $80,000).
