Flo-tron Contracting Case Study

Background

Flo-Tron Contracting Inc., a leading HVAC company specializing in design, installation, and maintenance of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems, faced challenges with their existing construction software, Maxwell. The lack of integration, cumbersome nature, and time-consuming processes prompted Flo-Tron to search for a comprehensive HVAC construction management software solution that addresses their pain points. That’s when they discovered Jonas Construction Software.

The Challenge: Inefficient Construction Accounting Software and Limited Reporting Capabilities
