Kilbirnie, Scotland in 2006, provides a variety of tree services for both domestic and large commercial clients across Scotland.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Adam, Commercial Director, caught up with us to share how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ayrshiretreesurgeons.co.uk\/\">Ayrshire Tree Surgeons<\/a> transformed their business with Commusoft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He describes their previous paper-based workflows as \u201ca slow and cumbersome process\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They might be pros at chopping down trees, but paperwork was something they were really struggling with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There was a lack of flexibility throughout the day. We were using a paper-based system, and were marking the jobs up on a whiteboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Every morning, the teams would come in, and they would get their jobs allocated to them by bits of paper and sheets. [If there were] any issues within a job, or anybody not on site who\u2019s required to be on site&#8230;the job would then stop.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Pen and paper, and whiteboards weren\u2019t going to cut it; they needed an inclusive solution that would accommodate their steadily growing business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The extra admin and costs involved was substantial. We required the system to streamline that process for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as the company grew and expanded, we needed a system that would grow and expand with us, and a process that would enable us to be as efficient.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Modernising operations with a digital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commusoft.com\/en-gb\/job-management-software\">job management software<\/a> was a huge step for the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Commusoft facilitating daily operations and workflows, David and his team were able to hit the ground running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commusoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayshire-engineer-using-tablet-cover-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commusoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayshire-engineer-using-tablet-cover-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.commusoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayshire-engineer-using-tablet-cover-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.commusoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayshire-engineer-using-tablet-cover-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.commusoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayshire-engineer-using-tablet-cover-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.commusoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayshire-engineer-using-tablet-cover-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.commusoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ayshire-engineer-using-tablet-cover.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Started With Commusoft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving the entirety of a business\u2019s organisation and structure to a digital system is a tremendous task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David puts it best: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I think any small business moving from a paper-based system onto an online system is quite daunting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>He details his organisation\u2019s transition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The implementation for us was seamless.

Prior to going out on any site, we are required to undertake a full site [and] health and safety assessment&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We now know that every single job and every single assessment has been undertaken prior to the job taking place. This provides confidence to all the senior management teams that we are being as safe as possible&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We have a full repository of completed forms, and can refer back to them at any time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>With custom forms, Ayrshire tree surgeons capture job information that\u2019s valuable to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Site surveys, and PPE and equipment safety checklists are time-logged, so managers know they\u2019re being completed before the job begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This system protects both employees, clients, and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David was happy to tell us that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We have now seen a significant reduction in health and safety related incidents.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\"

and keeping track of payments was frustrating for the office team to manage with a paper-based system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Muddled communications between the field and office, and customers with the office resulted in late payments and other oversights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After managing invoicing and finances with Commusoft, there was a massive shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David explains,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We\u2019re also seeing quicker invoicing happening across the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We\u2019ve seen a significant reduction in outstanding debts, which has seen it drop by over 80% in the last six months&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The flexibility of being able to manage the jobs, and manage the internal invoicing and payments due is a perfect mix for us as a business.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Commusoft\u2019s invoicing software can be built in the office or in the field, and payments can be accepted online, meaning that your team will never forget to send an invoice, and can receive payments faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\"

class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Year-on-year, this quarter alone, has seen a 60% increase in the volume of jobs undertaken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This is down to business efficiencies, driving the productivity of the squads out in the field, and identifying areas of improvement within the office.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Ayrshire Tree Surgeons has big, and
