Building a Technology Stack - Victor Milazzo - Kronos Software
It’s not uncommon for me to hear from the audience or clients that they are technology adverse. With the average age of an installer in the industry being over 50 years old, it’s really no surprise that technology is not a major part of their business model or life. Couple that with the fact that technology and hand skills do not always go together and it’s a modern day recipe for disaster. There are simple and easy to use tools readily available to make your business more streamlined and user friendly. From booking software, measuring software and customer relationship management software, there is no reason to be afraid of your computer when you can save hundreds of hours of time a year with a small up front investment.
Victor Milazzo is the CTO of Kronos Software and IT/Ecommerce manager at Carpet To Go. He has helped develop the systems that have made flooring businesses run more efficiently through the simple use of technology to automate receptive tasks. This has allowed him to not only increase revenue through more sales but increase profit by reducing overhead costs as well.
Listen in to this week’s episode as Victor and I discuss some simple but very effective ways you can increase your productivity with some simple technology for your business.
