[Video] Customer Story: Cole Industrial, Inc.

Direct integration means it goes from the field technician straight into our system. It means the lifecycle of a service job from dispatch to billing is shorter.

About Cole Industrial, Inc.

Cole Industrial, Inc. is a boiler company serving customers across the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. They provide new and used boiler equipment sales, rental boilers, and field service, including installation, maintenance, repairs, testing, and compliance support.

Challenge

Cole Industrial, Inc. needed to modernize field documentation in environments where technicians often work without reliable connectivity. Their prior process relied on Word documents and manual routing, creating delays, incomplete reporting, and inconsistent data capture that impacted quoting speed, customer responsiveness, and time to billing.

Solution

Cole Industrial, Inc. implemented GoFormz to close the operational edge gap between field work and back-office systems, paired with automated workflows and a direct integration into Acumatica. This enabled technicians to capture required data and photos onsite even when offline, while submissions sync and route automatically into Acumatica without manual re-entry.
