Take control of your materials

Kojo is flexible. We were able to pick and choose the parts that we needed for our business. It works for us and it works very well.

PO writing, the integration to QuickBooks and the 3-way invoice matching saves costs on double billing, material tracking, and helps us dial in on our overall cost for materials so that we can bring materials costs down. Kojo has a big bang for the buck.

Vendor relationships are really important to us, and that is where Kojo comes in to help with automation for all of our invoices.

Having Kojo really allows us to leverage our overall buying power much more effectively than our competition. We are able to better buy, be more efficient with our lead times, and ultimately get material on site much faster.

VP SUPPLY CHAIN

To be frank, it's been a great experience…you guys have great support… Compared to the ones we’ve tried, I prefer the straightforwardness of Kojo.

Purchasing Administrator at MK Electric & Design, Inc

Our guys can adopt this easily. It's not hard; they [the field team] can put it on their phone and see pictures of their stuff. I haven’t had a single person say they hate this software. Every time I check to ask how they’re doing with it, they tell me they love it. So it’s been really nice…we’ve had no issues, and having the images [in the app] is beyond helpful.

The direct integration has been relatively seamless...Now an average PO costs us 1/10th of what it used to: from $68 per PO to $6 – its just a push of a button.

COO at Tutor Electrical Service, Inc.

I can’t speak highly enough about how much administrative costs we’ve saved by putting this partnership in place...We gained 80-100 administrative hours a month through using Kojo...[Deltek ComputerEase + Kojo] has saved us probably an an entire administrative position.

COO at Tutor Electrical Service, Inc.

Once our Field team saw the benefits of the digital catalog and easy ordering with the mobile app, Kojo took off. Now, when a new journeyman starts, I can get them up and running in Kojo in 30 minutes. It is that intuitive.

We don’t just order whatever requisitions come in from the field anymore. We are able to get specific and plan the materials we need for each project so we are not seeing as much waste.

"From the moment you've won the job all the way through to the last piece of material that you order on that job, it allows all of your material purchasing to go through the same platform."

CHIEF Financial Officer, KEC

Kojo presented itself as a solution that would allow me to get the data that I needed. From the moment you've won the job all the way through to the last piece of material that you order on that job, it allows all of your material purchasing to go through the same platform.

Chief Financial Officer

What Kojo has done for us is it's allowed us to continue to grow without necessarily having to continue to add manpower and overhead. So, the fact that Kojo is able to issue purchase orders for us, we have visibility into what's going on, and my accounts payable team can work on managing instead of issuing. Kojo has allowed us to continue to scale, in revenue volume, so that's been a huge help because the goal is growth.

Kleinknecht Electrical

Chief Financial Officer

Kojo is one of those things that allows us to have an extra edge. We're spending maybe 40 hours less doing material orders per job in a year. That's a substantial amount of time savings. It’s difficult to be competitive in this environment, especially in the Denver metro area. Some jobs have 20 companies bidding. So I really believe any little edge puts you ahead.

“It’s about committing to taking the next step, raising the bar instead of just saying ‘hey, this is the way we've always done it, and it's the way we're going to keep doing it. Our willingness to adapt and move forward and implement new technologies is what puts us ahead.”

By being able to figure out where the market is and quickly look at analytics of how much I have ordered of each type of material across all projects, I’m able to make smarter buying decisions with the right vendors.

We have tried other things to keep track of our tools, but Kojo's Tool Tracking is the best solution for us. It's easy, so our teams actually use it. But the best part for me is my ongoing partnership with Kojo and being able to give them feedback or ideas on new features and watching Tool Tracking get better and better.

We check out tools to people, we check out tools to vans or trucks, and we check out tools to jobs with Tool Tracking.

"It's our favorite feature. It's changed our lives! It's like night and day because when we first started, we were still typing in some things, and it just works differently now before, the invoice team were having to try and reconcile what the Field team were writing to what we were invoiced, and now, that's not even an issue because of the intelligent scanning."

Purchasing Assistant

“One reason we use Kojo is the ability to upload custom pricing sheets. A lot of what we order is not from a catalog, it’s all industry specific material and only our experienced people know how to order. The level of detail we can provide to our vendors makes it easier for new employees to come pick up the process.”

Knowing exactly what we are purchasing could easily provide a large savings opportunity through better planning and strategic negotiations."

"We're seeing firsthand pricing immediately and receiving it right then and there. I would say we save about 5-15% depending on what items are being ordered."

Kojo’s integration with FOUNDATION is a huge time saver and it removes a lot of steps. It takes the guesswork out of processing orders.

,

Project Manager at Carol Electric

“Before, when we were having issues getting materials and tracking them. There were jobs that we were looking at that we didn't take because we were unsure whether or not we were gonna be able to fill the order. But when we were able to see what we had in inventory, we knew we could start those jobs in a timely manner and that was a game changer for us.”

,

President, Premier Service Company, Inc.

Kojo’s not just saving me time. It’s saving my foremen time. On a daily basis, I see it saving one hour for the foreman and thirty minutes for the general foremen.

Assistant Project Manager, Eckardt Group

By having our schedule and our accounting cost management open next to Kojo, project managers will be able to align expenses, align purchase orders contracts, write a change order, and do RFQs.

,

Eckardt Group

Without the ability to place orders of the high accuracy we have now, we would not have been able to basically increase business that 8-9%. There's projects we physically could not have taken on last year if we didn't have the Kojo software.

,

President, Universal Electrical Serviice

I have a much higher probability of being profitable on the job because it allows my guys to be efficient. Pricing and buying is 50% of a job, the other 50% is labor so if you're able to control and manage 50% of the job better your odds of success are a lot higher.

,

VP of Operations

“You don’t want to grow and become less profitable. We see technology as playing an important role filling the gaps of where our old ways won’t work as well as they use to. Agora’s focus on how we do things adds to our edge - now and in the future.”

"Kojo was so quick to place an order and so easy and streamlined, we didn’t need anybody other than the project manager or the assistant project manager to move the product from the vendor to the site."

,

Senior Project Manager

"I champion Kojo because it makes your company more scalable. If you don’t have a system already that tracks material ordering and streamlines the flow of requests from the field to the vendor, then you need one if you want to scale. You can’t do it with spreadsheets or emails anymore."
