If your company is missing any of these things, come and hear about a few of the simple tools and principles that EOS teaches to help bring order to chaos.

Facilitators Kerry Klodt General Manager of Tower Industries and Joe Duszka President of Carolina Custom Surfaces
Does it seem like choosing and using the right software to run the business is too daunting, too difficult, and too expensive? Ask yourself what’s the cost of NOT operating on a comprehensive software system. Imagine knowing at a glance if your shop had a good day, or a not-so-good day. Do you have easy-to-use software where you can see a job from cradle to grave or are you still using multiple software platforms, spreadsheets, dry erase boards, and post-it notes? What makes sense for your shop and your budget? Join Joe Duszka from Carolina Custom Surfaces and Kerry Klodt from Tower Industries to hear what they’re doing to streamline their businesses and what software tools they use to bring order to everyday chaos. Both companies are in the process of implementing new software.
