The problem

Paper work orders, manual inventory spreadsheets and cheque-based payments that added an average of 4 days to job timelines slowed field and back-office work.

The approach

LEA reviewed more than eight operational areas and paired each process finding with a technology recommendation through an integrated digital discovery.

The result

A digital workflow was implemented for approximately 650 annual work orders, replacing a paper-based process, and inventory management moved from manual spreadsheets to automated threshold alerts.
