The Challenge: This mechanical contractor was operating with a highly fragmented tech stack. Time tracking, estimating, HR compliance, fleet management, project management, and internal/external communication were all handled by separate software platforms. These systems operated in silos, resulting in data disconnects, inefficiencies, and a heavy administrative burden. The complexity was affecting both operational visibility and profitability.SolutionFollowing an in-depth assessment of their current tools and workflow pain points, Tradetraks was recommended—a unified construction and business management solution built by a commercial electrical contractor with firsthand knowledge of industry challenges. Tradetraks consolidates essential business functions into a single, user-friendly platform designed specifically for subcontractors. Key areas of consolidation included:

  • Time tracking
  • Estimating
  • HR and workplace compliance
  • Fleet and asset management
  • Project and communication management

Results: Since implementing Tradetraks, Canadian Mechanical has achieved:

  • Substantial workflow efficiencies by eliminating redundant platforms and data entry.
  • Improved cross-team coordination through centralized communication and project tracking.
  • Greater profitability and insight, with real-time access to project and financial performance in one system.

By embracing a unified platform purpose-built for trades, this mechanical contractor has positioned itself to scale more effectively while reducing overhead and administrative complexity.Create an efficient tech stack for your construction business with Contechhq.com.
