Listen "Clean Data, Faster Decisions | The Procurement Fix Most Teams Overlook"
Episode Synopsis
Host Eric Helitzer tackles a common challenge contractors regularly face: fragmented and unreliable reporting and procurement. When information lives across spreadsheets, inboxes, text threads, and disconnected systems, teams are forced to make decisions without clear visibility into costs, orders, or progress, resulting in delays, extra work, and inaccurate reporting.Eric looks at the root causes of these issues, explaining why and how they are deeply connected. He walks through how centralized procurement data, real-time updates, and integrated communication can eliminate guesswork, reduce human error, and give every stakeholder the same version of the truth. For subcontractors looking to run leaner, more predictable projects, Eric offers a clear blueprint for cutting through chaos and building scalable workflows.If your team is tired of chasing information, reconciling spreadsheets, or working off outdated reports, it may be time for a better approach.
