Bana Electric Powers Up Time Tracking with mJobTime
New York Contractor Eliminates Paper Time Sheets Forever!
For years, Bana Electric Corporation struggled to control the deluge of time sheets as their 60 employees reported labor time the old fashioned way. “Our foremen spent way too much time pushing paper,” said President, Stephen Bender.
To make matters worse, manual tallying of employee time across multiple job sites was overwhelming their accounting staff. “We had to go through tons of handwritten logs to find the information we were looking for.”
Established in 1955, Bana Electric has been a leading electrical contractor in the Long Island New York area for power plants, schools, and correctional facilities. They specialize in low, medium and high voltage power systems; including lighting systems, fire alarm systems, and public address systems.
“Entering data more than once really cost us a lot of time,” says Bender, “and the daily data entry was prone to error.” With mJobTime’s easy-to-use interface and foreman-specific synchronization, Bana has virtually eliminated those errors and become much more efficient in the process.
Once field data has been entered, the mJobTime Administrator component provides robust reporting and editing capabilities and a direct link to most popular accounting systems. “Our controller loves mJobTime,” Bender says, “because of the one-click interface into our Master Builder system.”
While adopting mJobTime, Bana implemented new processes around the system to manage their day-to-day operations. “The application is very easy to use and has saved us a significant amount of time and money,” says Bender. “Our foremen can now focus on the job at hand and no longer have to fight mountains of paperwork.”
The staff at mJobTime helped Bana derive the maximum return on investment by installing and configuring the software on their network and mobile devices as well as training their users on-site. “mJobTime’s service has been excellent,” says Bender. “And, after being in business for three generations, we know service.”
Since May of 2005, Bana has been reaping the rewards of their mJobTime system and has thrown away paper timesheets forever!
