Tips for Keeping Your Business Organized

Rate this post

A new year is an opportunity for business owners to look both backwards and forwards, and consider any changes that could help in the year to come. If you run a lawn care or landscaping business that changes with the seasons, it can be a chance to implement new resolutions for the next season. For many business owners, improving organization is a top priority. Even small changes can increase efficiency and improve profit margins.

Here are some tips to improving organization:

Create a back-up plan. Make sure your information – whether electronic or paper – is backed up. These days that often means keeping a backup of your most important data in the cloud. The best back-up plan requires little oversight, but in the event of an emergency, it should enable you to continue to operate with minimal interruption.
Evaluate how long it takes you to turn around estimates. If introducing contractor bid software into the process reduces this time, it can be well worth the investment.
Organize your workspace. The old adage “A place or everything, and everything in its place” can be applied in many ways. In some workplaces, it may mean implementing a “clean desk” policy, or organizing the equipment by adding physical storage. In others, it may mean implementing a new file sharing system. Make sure to introduce any employees to the new system.
Re-examine your bidding process. Does your business have a trend towards over bidding or under bidding? By reviewing your projects from the past year, you may be able to identify ways to create more accurate bids and land more projects.
Look at improvements in information sharing. Any business with more than one employee may be able to benefit from improvements in information sharing, whether that’s a company newsletter, a weekly meeting, or technology that helps with sharing information between the office and the field. Contractor bid software like JobFLEX can be especially useful for making sure that information gathered in the field is available to everyone when it’s needed.
Incorporate or enhance your use of mobile technology. Give employees tools to do their jobs, which may include mobile devices. Ask employees how they are making most efficient use of those tools to see if you can share with others.
Automate what you can. Routine tasks take up valuable money-making time in your schedule. Incorporating software to automate routine tasks frees up more time to focus on your billable hours.

When you look at ways to organize your business, you may find that implementing contractor bid software like JobFLEX can address several of your priorities. JobFLEX excels at bringing organizational efficiency, and enables your business to excel as well. Request a free demo from the JobFLEX team and get organized to make 2014 your busiest year yet.
