Background<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Story Contracting<\/a> is a privately-owned, award-winning infrastructure company with regional offices throughout England and Scotland. They\u2019re one of Britain\u2019s fastest-growing companies, but they measure success by safety, quality, customer satisfaction and respect. The company\u2019s motto, \u201cDo It Right,\u201d applies to their team, their clients, and their supply chain.<\/p>\n

Problem<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Since adding the Plant division 25 years ago, Story Contracting has been using a patchwork of solutions across the company based on division needs – spreadsheets, Word documents, several different financial systems, etc. With reporting unable to take all data into account, forecasting was made difficult, and company leadership recognised that they needed comprehensive software in order to continue to \u201cDo It Right\u201d as the company continued to grow.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/strong><\/h6>\n

As of August 2020, Point of Rental\u2019s Syrinx product brings all of Story\u2019s data into one system, dramatically reducing the amount of data entry and making forecasting much more efficient.<\/p>\n

Results<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Andrew Reed, who was Story\u2019s Business Improvement Manager\/Project Manager for the software transition, is now a Regional Manager in the company.<\/p>\n

In his new role, Syrinx is already making everything easier. He\u2019s able to forecast across the entire business, seeing availability across depots. Critical data is aggregated into one place, giving him a bird\u2019s-eye view of the business for decision-making, but he can still get down into the details when necessary.<\/p>\n

For example, if he\u2019s checking on a particular machine, he can quickly and easily see the machine\u2019s history and future jobs assigned, instead of sorting through dozens of spreadsheets arranged by week.<\/p>\n

Syrinx automates the handling of machine certifications, which used to require updating information across 40 separate spreadsheets to mark each machine out of circulation as required.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve tried other systems in the past to bring everything together and we\u2019ve never been able to achieve this,\u201d said Reed. \u201cPoint of Rental is the first system that has supported everybody moving to the same system.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
