How RenoEco Simplified Site Management Thanks to Cadulis

When organization becomes a hindrance, it’s time to move on. RenoEco, a finishing works company, understood this well: managing 14 technicians without the right tool is like playing Tetris with boxing gloves.

A DIY schedule… until the last straw

At RenoEco, the early days weren’t exactly what you’d call “connected.”

  • Schedules managed manually by the site manager
  • Assignments communicated verbally or by phone every morning
  • No medium-term visibility, only emergency management

This just-in-time approach showed its limits the day… a site was simply forgotten. The manager thought a technician was handling it, the technician was waiting for instructions. Result: an angry client and a destabilized team. That was all it took to question the organization.

Why choose Cadulis?

After comparing several solutions, RenoEco chose Cadulis for two main reasons:

  • A budget tailored to a construction SME
  • Features perfectly suited to field needs

Within two weeks, everything was ready: configuration, testing on two pilot sites, then full rollout. No headaches, but real support: hotline, coaching for the site manager, and above all… an on-site workshop to stick as closely as possible to daily reality.

Pragmatic adoption (and a bit of digital re-education)

While the team was generally motivated to structure their activity, they still had to adapt to a new habit: having their smartphone on site. We’re talking about a work tool, not a TikTok accessory. And remembering to close out the day with a report isn’t yet an automatic reflex.

But over time, everyone saw the benefits. And the change happened… almost naturally.

Reports that make a difference

With Cadulis, technicians provide essential daily updates:

  • Site progress
  • Estimated time remaining
  • Photos, comments, and client signature

Two types of reports were implemented:

📋 Internal: Quick update on the day’s work, estimate of remaining time. Used for management and planning.
📩 External: Full end-of-site report, with photos and details, sent to the client for validation.

Before Cadulis, it was impossible to find information from more than a week ago. Now, everything is tracked, timestamped, and stored. If a client doesn’t respond after receiving the report, the file is closed.

Results after 3 weeks: a rapid transformation

Less than a month after deployment, the initial figures speak for themselves:

  • -70% administrative time compiling interventions
  • 100% of reports sent the same day
  • +50% reduction in client disputes
  • +65% internal satisfaction among technicians
  • Invoicing triggered earlier = healthier cash flow

And the best part? The technicians didn’t have to change much in their routines. They simply close their day via the mobile app. And everything else happens as if by magic… or almost.

Better coordination between trades

In a finishing works project, coordinating plumbers, electricians, and painters is sometimes like alchemy. With better visibility on the progress of each trade, RenoEco can sequence interventions without bottlenecks.

Fewer calls, more anticipation. And zero race against the clock.

The icing on the quote: invoicing

Before, invoicing felt like an administrative triathlon. Today, reports automatically trigger invoice generation. No more forgetting, no more delays. Cash comes in. Management breathes easier.

And for the client? Transparency, finally.

The end-of-site report gives a clear view of the work done. And the client no longer needs to follow up or ask “what happened last week.” Everything is documented, illustrated, validated.

“Our site manager no longer spent all his time on the phone. As soon as the job is done, we have the report, the photos, the technician’s comments, and the client’s signature. It’s clean, documented, and we save a ton of time on invoicing.” — Sophie L., Operations Manager, RenoEco

In summary: what Cadulis changed for RenoEco

  • A mobile site management app used by the entire team
  • Automated and standardized reports
  • Smooth coordination between different trades
  • Structured tracking and a stronger client relationship
