“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller
The right partner makes all the difference. Nick discovered this when he was ready to select a business partner for his cement construction enterprise. He said he selected a partner, Eric, who is his true equal. They value each other’s opinions – they can critique each other’s ideas without letting ego get in the way. “We work really well together. We keep attitude and ego out of it,” Nick said. It helps that they’ve known each other for several years and both have experience in the field. They were both ready to work for themselves instead of someone else.
It’s not just their business relationship and expertise that sets them apart. Duco Construction has a unique offering for their customers – site, concrete, excavation, and demolition services. In fact, their services are in such high demand that their biggest challenge is managing their growth.
As a young company, tracking everything in Quickbooks and spreadsheets worked great. But as the company kept growing, this tracking method was no longer sufficient. They use Sage 100 Contractor, which provides a centralized, holistic picture of their company. They can track their expenses, hours, and different facets of each job. Nick said that Syscon has been a great partner as they’ve grown into Sage 100 Contractor.- BK
