How DILFO Broke Down Silos and Unified Sheet Metal and Plumbing Into One Workforce Platform
DILFO, a 290-person mechanical contractor, was stuck in spreadsheet chaos and nonstop calls. After implementing RIVET with Spectrum ERP, they now schedule 200 workers in minutes—not hours—and superintendents can plan ahead instead of putting out fires.
Duro Electric's Last Workforce Platform Kept Breaking. RIVET Gave Them 10-20 Hours a Week Back.
Duro Electric’s previous workforce platform couldn’t keep up with rapid growth, causing bugs, inefficiencies, and wasted time managing labor. After switching to RIVET, they gained real-time visibility and save 10–20 hours per week, allowing leadership to focus on operations and culture instead of fighting software.

How KLA Went from Guessing Who's Certified to Deploying the Right Crew to the Right Site in Seconds
