The Company

Deese Elite Concrete Coatings is a family-owned business that’s all about delivering high-quality concrete coating services across Florida, Alabama, and Georgia. By combining technical know-how with a friendly and personal approach,  Deese Elite has enjoyed rapid growth by always keeping customer satisfaction front and center. To keep up with the increased demand, the Deeses knew that they needed to sharpen up the operational side of their business to keep up with demand and maintain their stellar reputation.

The Challenge

As Deese Elite Concrete Coatings took on more and more projects across three states, the company faced several operational challenges. The first major challenge was streamlining operations to support their expansion without sacrificing the quality of service that they had built their name on. Managing leads, scheduling appointments, producing estimates, and handling invoicing and payments was turning into a logistical nightmare. The Deeses needed a solution that would allow them to manage these operational tasks effectively, without the need for hiring a small army of office staff.

Deese Elite prides itself on delivering a personal, professional experience for each customer, but as the work grew and the paperwork piled up, it was getting more challenging to give each customer the attention that Deese Elite wanted to consistently deliver.

Deese Elite knew that to make smart decisions and keep growing, they needed to streamline operations and be able to trust their data to make smart business decisions. Without reliable numbers, it was tough to track what was working and what wasn’t. They needed a way to bring together all their data: on marketing, customer management, and day-to-day operations, into one place, so that they could use it to grow their business.

The How

To tackle these challenges head-on, Deese Elite turned to Builder Prime’s all-in-one business management platform.

One of Builder Prime’s biggest perks? Real-time, accurate data.
