Procore Workforce Planning provides Joe Dickey Electric reliable support
Electrical contractor discovers new team efficiencies with Procore
The Challenge
Dickey Electric is an experienced group with a focus on workplace safety, investing in technology and staying ahead of the pack in an ever-changing industry. They were managing labor on spreadsheets and knew how to use them fairly well, but their data quickly became outdated and difficult to share with everyone who needed to see it. Eric Carlson, President of Dickey Electric, and his team were getting by but knew there was a more efficient way to set their people up for success.
The Solution
In 2015, Dickey Electric found Workforce Planning. The team immediately saw the potential and recognized it was the best digital solution out there for construction workforce management.
The Results
- Workforce placement improved by ensuring the right teams are at the right job at the right time
- Labor transitions optimized by proactively moving workers between jobs and resolving field issues faster
- Certification tracking streamlined with secure, accessible storage for training, contact, and HR information
“The experience Procore Workforce Planning creates is unmatched. We not only have the platform at our fingertips, but their expertise as well.”
