Putting Technology to Work for You!
Cell phones, laptops, tablets…from a technology standpoint, a lot has changed in the construction industry in the last 10-15 years. Communication is constant and information is now at our fingertips. While there are pros and cons to this from a productivity standpoint, one thing is clear – putting the right technology in the hands of employees allows them to better serve our valued customers.
Here at James CRAFT & Son, we constantly look at ways to put technology to use for our customers. From the addition of our laser layout system to mobile tablets that many of our field personnel now carry, we have always endeavored to remain a leader in the mechanical construction industry. Even now we’re in the midst of a companywide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software upgrade. Upgrading these systems will allow our project teams, service personnel and support staff to have more control over their projects with real-time data at their fingertips. The completion of this project will push James CRAFT & Son, Inc. to the forefront allowing us to better serve our valued customers for many years to come!

Cultivating Long Careers Blog – By: Steven Kearns
Long term employees, it’s something that every company strives for. Low employee turnover keeps training expenses down and helps develop continuity within the organization. However, with the daily hustle of working in a business, you often forget that many of the people around you have been actively working with the organization for a long time. James CRAFT & Son, Inc. has had an incredible run with maintaining long term employees. In fact, we currently employ 32 individuals who have been with us for at least 15 years and in the past five years have had 10 employees retire with 15 or more years of service under their belts. We are reminded of how lucky we are when we see those long term employees reach that blissful stage in their life that we are all working towards, you know what I’m talking about…RETIREMENT!
Earlier this month we had one more member of our staff join the ranks of those lucky individuals. Ruth Beveridge began her career with James CRAFT & Son back in October of 1989 and worked at various positions in the company throughout her 23 years of employment. In more recent years she settled into a position as a purchasing clerk and did a wonderful job building relationships with our vendors/suppliers and holding down the fort as various individuals transitioned in and out of the purchasing department. We would like to wish Ruth a happy retirement and one last time thank her for her years of service!
