The Need
Genesis 1:3 Electrical, an expanding electrical contractor, specializes in new home construction with a large distributed workforce. Like many high-growth HVAC or plumbing enterprises, they faced significant field service management hurdles across diverse job sites. To scale, Genesis required a custom construction ERP solution giving Foremen and Leads real-time oversight of work orders, dispatching, and project lifecycles at every stage of completion.
