Coleman Paint & Supply
12 hours of retyping gone every week
Paint store, 6 people
The problem
Contractors sent orders by phone, text, and email. Staff typed each one into the register, the stock sheet, and the invoice. A typo meant the wrong tint or missing cans when the contractor came to pick up.
How Iris helped
Iris takes each order as it comes in, enters it in the stock sheet, and prepares the invoice and a pickup list. The counter staff check the list and start mixing.
The result
About 12 hours a week saved on retyping
Orders ready for pickup the same morning
Mix-ups at pickup cut by more than half
“A contractor texts an order and it’s on the pickup list. Nobody at the counter types it in again.”
