The History
Lisa Wright, Lawson’s controller, saw vast room for improvement when she began working at the company. As the manager of several financial professionals, as well as the company’s finances overall, she needed to find a way to cut through day-to-day chaos and facilitate a more cohesive team effort. Furthermore, she had to ensure that business was being handled in an efficient, effective manner. Having used Levelset’s lien rights management solution at her past company, she knew that paperwork didn’t have to be so burdensome, so she made the decision to partner with Levelset at Lawson Roofing.
The Changes
With everything in a cloud-based database, Lisa is able to easily keep up with the status of paperwork and payments on all of their active jobs in Levelset. To save additional time and further protect themselves against risk, Lisa and her team also use other helpful Levelset products: Scout Research, which provides property detail research, and Job Radar, which provides insights and alerts regarding payment actions happening on their jobs. By utilizing each of these solutions, Lisa and her team are now able to put the hassle in the past, cut out payment problems, and protect all of their jobs with the proper notices.
We’re currently protecting 300 to 400 jobs per year through Levelset, and before we only protected 100 or so jobs, if that.”
