Modernizing Case Management from the Ground Up

3 years driving growth through smarter systems.

Results

Rebuilt an outdated field management system into a modern, mobile-first platform supporting offline task management and real-time data synchronization.

Supported rapid business scaling, enabling Groundworks to successfully expand from 13 regional to 29 national brands.

Drove measurable business impact, contributing directly to a 10% increase in overall sales within the first year of launch.

Standardized operational data across the organization, significantly improving visibility, reporting accuracy, and coordination between sales and field teams.

Highlights / Intro

Groundworks, a leader in foundation repair and waterproofing, needed a complete update to its field management suite, covering maintenance plans, case tracking, and contract generation.

unosquare modernized the platform end to end, developing new web and tablet applications with offline capabilities that allowed field teams to manage proposals, contracts, and client communications in real time.

Since launch, Groundworks has expanded from 13 regional to 29 national brands, with a 10% sales increase in the first year.

Challenge

The existing software couldn’t keep up with Groundworks’ rapid growth.

Teams needed a unified, mobile-first system that would streamline proposal creation, speed up case handling, and keep operations running; even in low-connectivity job sites.

Solution

unosquare built a custom digital ecosystem using Ruby on Rails, modernizing architecture and integrating new workflow automation for scheduling, approvals, and contracts.

The new app improved coordination between sales and field teams while enabling real-time data synchronization and offline task management.
