An Apple-Only Company Needed a Better Scheduling Option

Spring Valley Construction Company needed scheduling software that worked across operating systems and supported field-friendly lookahead planning. Relying on Excel and disconnected tools created extra effort, reduced visibility, and made it harder for teams to stay aligned on the current plan. They wanted a platform every team member could access, regardless of device, with a workflow that encouraged collaboration and made near-term planning easier for the field. The priority was moving beyond spreadsheets while keeping adoption and training straightforward.
