In a tough market it is crucial o try to grow you market share or at least hold it in order to remain profitable. Also everything possible should be done to decrease the cost of doing business. This is where IT can really make a difference. In business like this IT can be a great resource to streamline operations and to track cost. By implementing a system that tracks the progress of each home under construction and automatically schedule the next sub that will work on the home can really save a lot of man hours that would usually have to be dedicated to these tasks. Also with this system every cost that goes into a home could be tracked and then examined to see where savings can be made.
This is a good example of where even in tough times it is important to invest in technology especially when it can mean the difference in surviving a tough time or not.
