How Halibut Window Coverings Upgraded their Workflows With Digital Tape Measures

Converting error prone paper based workflows to more robust digital solutions is a central theme at REEKON Tools. This week, we are highlighting Richard from Halibut Window Coverings and how he upgraded his processes of collecting measurements.

Measuring Window Film Width Directly from Window Width

Using the REEKON T1 Tomahawk and ROCK Jobsite app, Richard saves hours each week and avoids the need to write down any of the 100s of measurements for his window covering business based in Southern California.

Like many in the window and window covering space, Halibut Window Coverings was using paper to write down hundreds of measurements each week equating to film and other materials needed for particular jobs.

"The combination of digital measurement and labeling can certainly make jobs easier and more efficient, especially compared to traditional methods like using a standard tape measure."

This is extremely common and something we see 85%+ of the time in initial discovery calls (and have a large library of the paper and handwritten templates we often replace).

For the simplicity of upgrading his tape measure from conventional to digital, Rich was able to keep many of the essential elements of his workflow intact all which eliminating the error prone and time consumptive steps of the process.

As a leader in Southern California of commercial, residential, and exterior coverings, Rich has elevated the speed of which he and his team can conduct window and panel measuring jobs, significantly reduced errors from handwriting, and provided him a competitive edge winning new customers.

Digital tape measures are an easy and fast way to eliminate paper recorded measurements for windows and window coverings. REEKON provides a robust collection of tools and software to make this a seamless transition. Learn more today and upgrade your next project with more speed and less errors.
