Benefits of M1
As COVID-19 spread throughout the U.S, Excel was deemed an essential business and therefore needed to figure out how to efficiently conduct operations despite shutdowns, disrupted supply chains and shipping networks.
With M1, Excel could see what jobs were being worked on, ensuring employees were prioritizing correctly, and could receive real-time job updates to ensure on-time delivery to customers. And, using their centralized system, all authorized personnel at Excel were able to access the information necessary to work remotely and comply with health regulations.
“Beyond optimizing our business as a whole, M1 really helped us see and prioritize jobs as we scaled up our production of essential supplies in the early months of the pandemic.”
“We made the best decision by choosing M1 to grow with because the flexibility to customize screens, use grids with the data fields for our business needs along with automating many manual spreadsheet reports to collect data now happens at the touch of a fingertip.”
