How to Improve your Electrical Contractor Software Business

When is your product or service due for completion? Do you have a proper definition of the scope of work of the job? Do you know what resources you require to meet the scope of work so that you can produce accurate quotations? Do you have enough material, labour and sub-contractors available? Do you have a method of managing changing customer requirements? Are you keeping to budget? Is cash flow as expected, or are cost overruns and delayed payments putting you under pressure?

If your answer to one or more of these questions is No, then you will benefit from implementing Umbrella in your business.
