Canvas Senior Mobile Application Consultants worked with Weinig to determine how they would benefit most from more robust data capture and information tracking. They developed a success plan that included key metrics and milestones for completion during the free 30-day trial period.

1. CASE STUDY
Weinig Group
The Problem
The Weinig Group provides solu-
tions to solid timber processes with
a variety of innovative wood process
machinery and round the clock
service. They previously used paper
for a number of internal reporting
processes. The issues that occurred
with this paper based process
included:
• Illegible handwritten notes
• Administrative office waiting
hours and days for technicians
to return reports
• Reports often returned in-
complete or illegible, missing
critical information
• Technician labor & part costs
could not be tracked with
accuracy

The Strategy
A Plan for Success
GoCanvas Senior Mobile Application Consultants worked with Weinig
to determine how they would benefit most from more robust data
capture and information tracking. They developed a success plan that
includ-ed key metrics and milestones for completion during the free
30-day trial period. The features that Weinig marked as critical in their
mobile solution included:
• Pre-programed calculations to determine technician labor costs
• Required fields to enforce form completion before each report
submission
• Timestamp and GPS location tracking for enhanced internal ac-
countability
These features and more were all a part of the app development pro-
cess. Feedback was taken from the Weinig users as they tested and
reincorporated back into the apps. GoCanvas’ drag and drop app
builder made it possible to update the apps in minutes, without the
assistance of an IT department.
The Results
Faster Filing
After implementing GoCanvas, each day after each job is complete,
a full scope of work is returned to the Weinig office within 30 minutes.
Employees now benefit from faster invoicing and payment processing
because of immediate data transfer from the GoCanvas cloud to
internal databases through bulk export.
No More Errors
Today, all parts distribution and service call forms filled out by tech-
nicians are now filed with no missing fields or calculations. Weinig
leadership and management have greater insight into each
technician’s location and work performed with the addition of GPS
stamps and the auto-emailing of reports to the office. This has allowed
them to identify areas for improvement and intervene in real-time.
