Benchmark aligns with Allen's Asphalt’s goals
and makes
staff happier! |
Benchmark-
making users happier!
“Benchmark is very good for me because the less typing I have to
do the happier I am”,
Geoff O’Rourke, Chief Estimator for Allen's Asphalt, says with a
laugh. With this casual comment, Geoff beautifully encapsulates
one of the many reasons why so many people love Benchmark –
because it saves you re-typing data into your estimates, quotes
and business reports all the time. But this is not the only
reason why Allen's Asphalt is so fond of Benchmark.
Allen's Asphalt – Committed to the future, committed to clients
 Allen's
Asphalt is a 20 year old, 85 employee strong company operating
in and around Caboolture in South East Queensland. They
specialise in road construction and subdivision work and also
provide asphalt products and services. They perform work for
Local and State Governments and many clients in the Private
sector.
On their website, Allen's Asphalt states that they are “an
expanding Company with our aims focused on the future”, and that
“the use of modern technological methods and the integration of
innovative ideas ensure our customers…are guaranteed the best in
Service and Quality”. Benchmark is helping Allen's achieve these
objectives.
Standardising pricing methods and creating consistency in the
business
Benchmark helps Allen's Asphalt focus on the future through
providing timely information for business decisions and through
creating organisational consistency. Geoff says, “Benchmark’s
many business reports allow me to review historical performance
when I need to, which greatly helps when making business
decisions. We also use Benchmark for all of our estimates. It
provides a good benchmark – pardon the pun – for producing our
estimates because we know that our methods are standardised and
our prices are accurate and consistent.”
Providing customers with great service and quality
Benchmark contains modern, innovative features that help Allen's
Asphalt deliver on their guarantee to provide their customers
with exceptional service and quality. Allen's Asphalt is
producing customised quotes for their clients using the
Microsoft Word® quote templates in
 Benchmark’s
Version 6.05, and they customise their data base to best suit
their clients' requirements. Geoff says, “The Word® quotes
improve the aesthetics of what we send and allow us to include
special messages on our customers’ quotes to ensure they get all
the information they need. We also set up our Items to match
our customers’ schedules so we can very quickly produce the
tenders our clients require in the format that best suits
them.”
Summary
Benchmark comfortably integrates into the Allen's Asphalt
organisation and aligns with their goals. And Benchmark helps
to keep the staff happy because much of their time consuming
re-typing has been eliminated!
