About Great Western Interiors
Great Western Interiors (GWI) is a drywall installation specialist serving Calgary, Edmonton and surrounding areas for more than 30 years. The company supports both residential and commercial construction projects, working with a wide range of contractors and subcontractors across Western Canada.
With decades of industry experience, GWI manages projects that involve coordinating multiple trades, managing field crews, and maintaining accurate project documentation. Their work requires efficient systems for tracking labor hours, managing subcontractor purchase orders and maintaining visibility across active job sites.
As their operations grew in scale and complexity, GWI began looking for a platform that could help streamline field operations while improving visibility for managers and administrative teams, this is when they found Ontraccr.
The Challenge
Before implementing Ontraccr, GWI relied on manual processes that created inefficiencies and limited real-time oversight across projects.
Ontraccr Solution
Ontraccr helped GWI begin modernizing key operational workflows by replacing manual systems with a connected field and office platform.
