The Challenge

Brent Scarbrough & Company has been building across the Southeast since 1985. As a 100% employee-owned company managing demolition, grading, excavation, and utility work, keeping the field, shop, and office aligned became more important as the business grew.

Before Clue, the team had access to data but it lived in separate places. Daily work was predictable but limited.

"What it was like before was I knew exactly what my day would be. It was just very mundane because we weren't able to dig."
Julie Erickson, Operations Manager

How Clue Helped

Clue gave Brent Scarbrough's team a single place to see fleet data, equipment metrics, and operational insights. Instead of waiting for reports, the team could act on information the moment it appeared.

"What I really enjoy about Clue is the fact that there seems to be this infinite amount of data. Clue is not scared to go and retrieve that data and put it in a format that you can use to make your job easier, more efficient, and make better decisions."
Paul Halloway, Equipment Director

"That data and those metrics are just right in front of us and so easy to see on my dashboard. I started paying a lot more attention to it because that data was available."
Eric Sellman, COO

Results

Clue bridged the gap between departments. The field, shop, and office now work from the same information, and the team has full buy-in across the company.

"The big thing with Clue is that we're able to bridge the gap between our field, our operators in our shop, and other departments. Everybody's bought into Clue now because of being able to have a part in it."
Julie Erickson, Operations Manager

"The data almost points to what you need to be doing to be better. That's brought us a long way in the past year."
Paul Halloway, Equipment Director
