Developing Effective Workflow
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Developing effective workflow in any business, let along a sign & vehicle wrap company, is no easy endeavor. Bad habits are easy to form and continue on with, and the deeper a problem gets into the shop, the harder it is to remove it.
Calculating in material costs, labor costs and attempting to maximize profits are the daily chores and difficulties of any sign / custom fabrication shop. For a custom design and build type company, a workflow management software product like SquarCoil (which is what we use) can be a lifesaver - forcing you to follow the process and keeping everyone on the team on the same page at all times.
In this episode of the Media 1 / Wrap This UA-cam Show, Dale & Rob discuss how things work at the M1/WT facilities, covering the fact that every job has different nuances and how to overcome bottlenecks & setbacks so you can stay on time, on track and profitable!

Every video is so good from you guys. Keep doing what your doing please
Akeem, thank you so much!! Glad you are enjoying the show.
We took a break for a bit, but we have new episodes coming out starting next Wednesday! See you then! 😎
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for showing exactly what goes on
in a sign company. The potential pitfalls are the same in
every shop. I appreciate what you do.
Amazing guys. Awesome channel
Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying it! 😀
Great video. I concur with all aspects
Ryan! Thank you sir!
And thanks for watching our show! Got some great new stuff coming up!
This Really is some top notch information! going to implement it in the shop tomorrow!
Can you explain how a project flows through your company step by step and who does what? For instance, the salesman makes that first contact, then how does it get designed, who quotes it, how does it get sent into permitting, when do you put it into production, how does the fabricators see the job, how do they prioritize which job to do first and what to do after, how does the project get scheduled for install, and how does it get finaled out (aka final payment, inspections for the permit, etc).
Great episode!!
What ever happened to that aircraft/pizza oven project? I bet that will be amazing!!!
stay tuned
That was an excellent video! It is especially helpful for future customers to understand some of the inside idiosyncrasies of your business processes. Thanks for sharing!
The key to a successful business process automation software project is taking a critical look at existing processes and being willing to adopt and adapt to new workflows.
The biggest failures in BPA projects are when existing poor processes are forced onto the software. Automation of inherently poor workflows or administrative processes just means you make those same mistakes faster.
If you ever hear someone say that XYZ has to be implemented “because we’ve always done it that way” that is when the business has to be willing to evaluate whether any existing process deserves to be continued or if a new way of working through the software will save money in the long run.
How do you guys keep track of employees work hours on a job?
Hey Brandon!
Each employee clocks into (and out of) each project on SquareCoil. They are presorted into their respective departments, so the system automatically tells you design, vinyl production, wrap install, fab, paint, etc department hours (and individual hours) per job! 😎
Does Media 1 fabricate animated signs -- either sequenced lights or neon? As a hobbyist I use Arduino/Raspberry Pi to animate lights, but am curious how the pros do it.
