Everything was done on paper for the most part. It would be entered into a DOS system, and we would basically use the old green bar printers. Some of those green bar printouts were sent directly to customers. Sometimes, somebody would take those printouts, enter them into a Word or Excel document, and generate an invoice.

With Axon, everything is connected from the point of a bid going out, or an order going out, or a quote going through dispatching. We assign a driver or a piece of equipment to it. We click one button and send the invoice out electronically to the email that’s attached to that customer’s profile.

It has definitely cut down our billing work. It used to take almost a week and a half to bill the current week’s work. So we were always behind. Now what used to take us a week and a half can be done in a day and a half.

Cash flow and tracking is much better. From my perspective as a finance guy – when I got here, there was no real way for me to track cash flow, outstanding invoices, receivables, or payables. Everything was done manually. It took me a lot of time to figure out where we were on any given day.

Now, using Axon, I use the executive briefing every day. I take a look and it kind of gives me the full scope of where we’re at and where we’re headed. I do a lot of customized reporting within Axon. If I want to see things a certain way, I can quickly click a couple of buttons. I create my own reports and utilize them to slice and dice the business daily.
