About Lighthouse
Lighthouse is a leading electrical contractor specializing in high-quality commercial and industrial projects.

Known for their dedication to efficiency and innovation, Lighthouse continuously seeks solutions to improve their workflows and empower their teams to deliver top-tier results.
The Background
Lighthouse has grown to become a mid-sized contractor with a diverse portfolio and a commitment to lean principles. Managing multiple job sites simultaneously, the company faces challenges inherent to the fast-paced construction industry, including coordinating materials and ensuring timely delivery of the right resources to the field. Their goal is to provide teams with the tools and materials they need while maintaining streamlined workflows that minimize downtime and errors.
The Challenges
Lighthouse’s rapid growth and expanding scope of operations revealed inefficiencies in their material and procurement processes. Key challenges included:
- Managing multiple vendor portals for material orders, each with its own system, creating redundancy and confusion.
- Inefficient communication between job sites, purchasing managers, and vendors, often leading to delays and miscommunications.
- A lack of visibility into order tracking and pricing across job sites, resulting in inefficiencies and missed opportunities for cost savings.
- The need for a single, scalable system to centralize procurement and reduce the reliance on emails and manual processes.
