Key Results


  • 20 hours saved monthly on waste coordination

  • Faster sourcing decisions across active projects

  • Clearer visibility into pricing and service options

  • Reduced administrative burden for operations teams

Precision Services is a national construction and facilities management firm specializing in integrated design-build services. The company delivers new construction, renovations, and facilities maintenance solutions for customers across various industries. Because their teams manage complex projects involving multiple vendors and tight timelines, efficient vendor sourcing and clear pricing visibility are critical.

By partnering with Sourgum, Precision Services streamlined the process of sourcing waste services across projects and gained greater transparency into vendor options and pricing.

Unclear Pricing and Fragmentation Risked Project Delays

The Precision Services team spent significant time sourcing waste vendors and comparing service options across projects. This is a common challenge for construction firms operating across multiple markets, where different haulers, pricing structures, and service standards make it difficult to identify reliable providers. Identifying the right provider often required multiple conversations and manual comparisons, with limited transparency into what services actually included.

For Crystal Harbst, Project Manager at Precision Services, this lack of clarity added unnecessary coordination to projects that already involved many moving parts. Without a centralized way to compare vendors and pricing, the team spent excess time verifying service details and ensuring providers could meet jobsite timelines.

A lack of transparency in the sourcing process made waste services harder to evaluate, increasing administrative work for the operations team and raising the risk of delays or service disruptions on active job sites.

Simplified Vendor Coordination Nationwide

The Sourgum platform connected the Precision Services team with an easier way to source waste services and compare vendor options across projects. By providing clear vendor comparisons and transparent pricing, Sourgum allows the team to quickly identify the best options without manually coordinating with multiple vendors. For Harbst, that level of transparency has been a key benefit of the platform.

The most valuable aspect of Sourgum has been the transparency and ease of comparing vendors and pricing. It makes sourcing faster and helps ensure we’re getting the best options available.

Faster Decisions and Improved Operational Efficiency

Since implementing Sourgum, the sourcing process is more efficient for Precision Services, and they now have clearer visibility into vendor pricing and service options. The team now spends less time coordinating with vendors and more time focusing on project execution.

On average, Sourgum saves the team up to 5 hours per week previously spent sourcing vendors and managing service coordination. Just as importantly, the increased transparency allows Precision Services to make faster, more informed sourcing decisions across projects. Instead of spending time gathering quotes and confirming service details, the team can now evaluate options quickly and move projects forward with confidence.

Sourgum makes the sourcing process much easier by providing clear vendor comparisons, transparent pricing, and a more streamlined way to manage waste service options.

Takeaways

For construction firms, sourcing the right waste service provider can be time-consuming due to the fragmented nature of the waste and recycling industry. Unclear pricing, inconsistent service standards, and limited accountability make it difficult for teams to ensure waste services will support project timelines.

As a managed marketplace, Sourgum centralizes vendor coordination, introduces transparent pricing, and provides consistent service standards across markets. This helps teams easily compare options and make faster, data-driven decisions without the administrative burden of managing multiple haulers.

That transparency has made waste vendor sourcing simpler, faster, and more predictable. As a result, the Precision Services team spends less time on coordination and more time delivering excellent services across the facilities they support.
