Ironwork Construction Cuts Safety Incidents by 30%
How a 35-person steel construction company unified project management, safety tracking, and financials — and built a safer, more profitable operation.
The Challenge
Ironwork Construction managed complex steel erection projects across multiple active job sites. Procore handled project management and daily logs, while QuickBooks tracked job costing and payroll. Safety reports were filed on paper forms that often sat in a foreman's truck for days before being entered into the system.
The disconnect between field operations and the back office meant safety hazards went unreported, change orders took days to process, and job cost overruns weren't caught until month-end reconciliation.
- Paper-based safety reports delayed incident tracking by days
- Change orders required manual sync between Procore and QuickBooks
- Job cost overruns discovered only at month-end
- No real-time visibility across 5+ active job sites
The Solution
Ironwork deployed Dewx across all job sites in a five-week rollout, beginning with the office team and then equipping foremen with mobile access for field reporting.
