Lead your team to victory with a Buildertrend Champion

There needs to be a cheerleader or two for Buildertrend. You’ve got to get buy-in. Once you get everyone to buy in, then it’s just super powerful. It all starts with why. If the team understands why it’s important, they’re more likely to run with the tools because they get the big picture.

Prior to having a dedicated Buildertrend Champion, our company struggled with underutilization of Buildertrend, despite the investment. By prioritizing a single point of accountability, we ensured that the software received the attention it needed. This focused approach enabled us to implement the software effectively within approximately four months.

A dedicated Buildertrend Champion can help overcome all the objectives that a company faces as they implement a new system and help keep the company focused on the broader goals. Customizing Buildertrend from scratch can feel overwhelming, but having a designated person will help the company meet deadlines and move the implementation process along much quicker.

Buildertrend has made countless improvements since we started using the software. It’s vital for companies to have several employees that understand the program, but it’s always important to have an expert – in this case a Buildertrend Champion – that has taken the time to learn the program.

As the Buildertrend Champion, I attended Buildertrend University, which gave me the buy-in for the software. I liked our previous software and was very resistant to learning a new software. But once I was able to personalize the experience, I was able to navigate the system and really use it to its fullest potential as well as encourage the rest of the team to use all the different functions. It made me excited for the program.
