I am the office manager for a company that provides installation of window coverings with one of our vendors Home Depot.  We complete on average 8,500 measures and installations per year for them.  I review new orders, troubleshoot problems, disperse orders to our installers as customers receive products and create invoicing for each order completed.  Performing these tasks for 19 Home Depot stores consumed a large portion of my work day.  With a desire to move past the paper system we had been using since the inception of working with Home Depot and becoming more efficient with our time,  we explored Blinds Portal. This program provided our installers a platform in which to receive their new measure orders automatically from Home Depot and access the installation information needed to complete installations for customers using their cell phones in the field with an organized format that is very simple for everyone to understand and use.  These orders remain in our portal for future use as well to provide us with completed orders for referencing later as needed.  The sign-off forms by customers at the completion of measures and installations are uploaded back into the Home Depot system including the necessary forms that document what our installers had issues with on the job site.  This program has transformed our dealings with Home Depot from being archaic, cumbersome and time consuming to now having an efficient and simplified system to work through including major issues such as illegible handwriting by our installers on measures and forms as well as all orders being processed in a timely manner with much less hassle and frustration to us and Home Depot. This makes for a better working relationship between us and one of our major account holders and their customers.  This program adds valuable time each day to my schedule and our installers.  We have so appreciated Mike’s accommodating attitude and willingness to help us work through questions we have as we familiarize ourselves with the system and provide solutions to help our work flow better as well as venturing out into the rest of our company to bring our office into a much more efficient and productive system. Our office is at a much better place!
