Excel Group is a family-owned business based in Bedfordshire, established in 2008. They specialise in providing high-performance, sustainable off-site building solutions, handling everything from single homes to multi-dwelling projects, apartments, educational buildings, and commercial spaces.
They’re dedicated to delivering high-quality, energy-efficient, and environmentally-friendly building solutions that are also cost-effective – all while working toward a net-zero carbon future.
Before using Fonn, Managing Director Jason Pritchard said they juggled managing multiple supply chains and building sites. Information was scattered across Excel spreadsheets and a lot of emails, making it difficult to keep track of crucial project details.
Plus, Jason and his team spent a lot of time visiting sites to make sure everything was up to standard and waiting on subcontractors to get back to them instead of moving projects forward. He knew Excel Group needed a new way of doing things if they were to save time and simplify their processes.
Since switching to Fonn, Jason has seen huge improvements in Excel Group’s workflow and organisation.
Their subcontractors quickly got the hang of using Fonn, and with real-time updates from each building site, Jason and the team can stay in the loop without having to visit sites themselves.
Fonn has also helped Excel Group streamline their design process from start to finish. Keeping up with drawings and designs used to mean searching through endless emails and waiting for large drawing files to transfer. But now, the team can simply upload the latest drawings to Fonn, where everyone can view, collaborate, and comment on drawings in real time. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Fonn’s intuitive, easy-to-use app made it super simple for everyone on the team and on-site to adapt to the new system. An added bonus? It even works without a signal. Information can be added to projects as usual, and once the signal improves, it uploads right away.
Fonn has taken the stress out of project management for Excel Group, making communication, organisation, and project tracking effortless.
