The Challenge Background

The Challenge

Before adopting Ontraccr, Alternate Glazing Systems (AGS) experienced several operational challenges that limited efficiency and growth

Icons (18)
Lack of standardized processes across teams, with individuals creating their own methods.
Icons (18)
The company relied on multiple disconnected platforms for time tracking, safety documentation and reporting, which consumed excessive office time and increased administrative overhead.
Icons (18)
Project cost visibility was limited, requiring manual spreadsheets built from daily reports, an extremely time-consuming process that still lacked accuracy.
Icons (18)
Information scattered across systems, making continuity difficult when leadership was away.
Icons (18)
While the company had a strong problem-solving culture, the informal and “old school” approach created a ceiling for scalable growth without structured systems in place.

Ontraccr Solution

AGS implemented Ontraccr in November 2024 and reached process stability within approximately six months. The transition required both technical setup and internal mindset change. Once team members began using the platform consistently, adoption accelerated and quickly became standard procedure. Ontraccr delivered a centralized and scalable operational foundation built around automation, visibility and accountability.

Financial and Operational Impact

Within eight months, AGS transformed its internal structure. Office overhead decreased while operational output increased. Leadership now manages significantly more projects with greater clarity and less friction.

By capturing small increments of time that were previously overlooked, the system prevented substantial annual revenue loss. Change order tracking improved profitability while earlier invoicing accelerated payments.

Beyond financial metrics, Ontraccr created the foundation for SOP development, measurable metrics and performance accountability across the organization.

Elevating Operations

In closing, AGS’s partnership with Ontraccr has delivered far more than a software implementation, it has fundamentally improved the way the company manages its operations. Robert shared that the most surprising aspect of working with Ontraccr was the strength of the personal connection. Unlike other organizations, the Ontraccr team built a relationship that felt collaborative and genuinely invested in AGS’s success.

The platform itself has brought structure, clarity and organization to their workflow. From tracking to day-to-day management, Ontraccr has streamlined processes and created a more efficient, transparent system across the business. The transformation has been so clear that even initially skeptical team members have come to fully recognize the value it provides.

Today, Robert proudly describes himself as Ontraccr’s “biggest evangelist,” actively recommending the platform to others in his network. For AGS, Ontraccr hasn’t just improved workflow, it has elevated how the entire organization operates.
