Slotegraaf Replaces In-House Software and Increases Efficiency With Procore

The Challenge

Slotegraaf Construction is a custom home builder that has served the greater Hamilton, Guelph, and Waterloo regions in Ontario for over 40 years. From creating lavish indoor swimming pools to comfortable outdoor spaces, Slotegraaf renovates, designs, builds and customizes residential homes across Ontario.

With a full-time programmer on staff, Slotegraaf created an in-house software to help manage their people, projects and more. For a few years, this worked. Eventually, Slotegraaf noticed limitations within the soware and its struggle to keep pace with the company’s ongoing backlog of work. They knew their in-house solution wasn’t going to work long-term. Slotegraaf needed to find a platform that created efficiencies and allowed them to move on from their in-house software so they could focus on what they do best — renovating and building custom homes for families to flourish in.

The Solution

Slotegraaf first started using Procore for project management and then soon adopted the workforce management solution to help with labour scheduling, rostering, and planning. At Slotegraaf, there’s a heavy focus on taking care of their workforce. This focus ensures they have a steady roster with a consistent skillset that provides undeniable service for their customers. With strong adoption of the new technology, Slotegraaf can now manage their most important asset — their people, much easier. They have one view where they can see all of their employees at the same time, identify gaps in planning and ensure they can accomplish their labour scheduling mission — to keep everyone on their roster employed all week, every week.

The Results

Accurate Financial Planning

Slotegraaf’s finance group uses Procore. Access to real-time information helps the team in financial planning, developing accurate customer invoices and much more.
