Breaking Free from Manual Constraints
Prior to implementing Remarcable, Interstates' teams were caught in a cycle of time-consuming manual tasks. Engineers and field teams spent valuable hours managing material orders, matching invoices to purchase orders, and requesting specification sheets from vendors. This manual approach to material management pulled skilled professionals away from their core expertise in industrial automation.
Key Challenges:
- Time-consuming material ordering processes
- Manual invoice to PO matching
- Repetitive vendor documentation requests
- Complex information flow between field and office

By implementing Remarcable, Interstates transformed their material management process into a streamlined workflow. The platform eliminated manual tasks through automated information flow between field teams, office staff, and distributors. With instant access to specification sheets and an intuitive interface requiring minimal training, team members now manage materials efficiently without the burden of repetitive administrative work.

Unleashing Team Potential
The impact of this transformation has been significant for Interstates' operations. Teams now focus their expertise on strategic automation work instead of administrative tasks.

Most importantly, Interstates has achieved their goal of maximizing value-added work, allowing their skilled teams to focus on delivering innovative industrial automation solutions.
