Since its inception in 2018, A&P Painting and Flooring has been a trusted name in the home improvement industry, offering painting, flooring, and drywall services to clients across multiple states. With a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and customer satisfaction, the company has grown into a multi-state operation with seven locations by 2024.

However, as the company scaled, managing client relationships, tracking leads, and streamlining operations across multiple units became increasingly complex. A&P Painting and Flooring turned to ClientTether’s franchise CRM to tackle these challenges. With ClientTether’s powerful automation tools, centralized management features, and seamless integrations, A&P Painting and Flooring transformed its operations, saving time, improving efficiency, and delivering an unparalleled client experience.

The Challenges of Scaling Multi-Unit Operations

As A&P Painting and Flooring expanded, it faced several key challenges common to growing businesses in the home improvement industry:

  • Manual Processes Stretched the Team Thin: Managing leads and client follow-ups manually drained time and energy from estimators and sales staff, limiting their ability to focus on high-priority tasks.
  • Disconnected Tools Created Bottlenecks: Existing systems couldn’t integrate with essential tools like QuickBooks and CompanyCam, leading to inefficiencies and workflow interruptions.
  • Scaling Consistency Across Locations: Operating across seven locations required a solution that could streamline processes while maintaining consistent quality and communication.
