- Electronic Survey Process - 50% reduction in time to complete a survey
- Electronic Plan Views – Time to complete process went from 15 minutes to 1 minute
- Electronic Handling of Surveys – This originally took 5 minutes per survey and is now 0 minutes
- Electronic Survey Retrieval Process - This originally took 20 minutes and now takes no more than 3 minutes since surveys are retrieved instantly electronically
The Results = Tremendous Cost Savings:
- Electronic Survey Process - $38,000 in savings
- Electronic Plan Views - $28,000 in savings
- Electronic Handling of Surveys - $20,000 in savings
- Electronic Survey Retrieval Process - $42,000 in savings
