Case Studies
Okappy, is not just a job management solution. It’s a Market Network; part social network, part marketplace and part SaaS (software as a service) tool. This allows companies to seamlessly connect with their contractors and subcontractors and has many great benefits. First and foremost eradicating the duplication of information between each companies individual job management systems.
DMS is one of Convert Water’s customers, also using the Okappy network to send jobs to their engineers and subcontractors. Convert Water is able to receive jobs from DMS in real time, without having to copy over any information. Both companies have been able to improve the way they collaborate with other stakeholders in the industry and further establish their team work ethic. They have been able to invite their other subcontractors and customers onto the network - allowing for real time updates to also be relayed to clients more quickly and more accurately.
Thanks to this networked approach, their whole job management process is a lot more efficient.
2. Invoices Can be Sent Out Much Quicker
With Okappy, Convert Water have been able to automate their invoicing system and streamline their job management. Instead of having to wait weeks for invoices to be processed, they can be sent instantly in real-time upon completion of a job. This ultimately means that Convert Water and their
subcontractors gets paid quicker and with less disputes. It also reduces administration, it is easier to keep track of payments and there is less chasing for payment.
3. More Hours in The Week
Convert Water has saved a huge amount of time using Okappy compared with their previous process. They used to spend over a day each week sorting out job sheets, whereas now that time is free to focus on growing the business. As information is available anywhere, this allows Anthony, the director to get out of the office and spend time on site, checking quality, meeting customers and ultimately bringing in more business.
4. More Time Spent on Marketing
With more time, Convert Water has also been able to up the ante on their marketing efforts. They now spend 20% more time promoting their business and have been able to design and run a couple Ad campaigns which has led to them taking on a number of new customers.
5. Able to Invest in New Equipment
With the improvements in cash-flow brought about by automation of their invoicing, Convert Water has been able to invest spare cash into new equipment for the business. They have been able to buy a number of new vans which has allowed them to take on more business.
“It frees up our time and allows me to spend more of it visiting sites and bringing in more work. This wouldn't have been possible without Okappy.” says Anthony. “To sum up, Okappy provides me with the tools to grow and develop my business!”
