Our business growth at least tripled this year. Another success for Lanex has been the development of a system that is able to create business proposals in a fraction of the time that it may normally take to create. For that client, whom Guenther declines to name, about four hours would normally be needed to write up a business proposal. Lanex's new software can cut that time down to 20 minutes, Guenther says. The slowing economy has made finding workers a lot easier than it was three months ago, McCoy says.
People have expectations.
It was never realistic, but it worked for a while. Now, Lanex is able to hire workers at salaries higher than the industry average, Guenther says, and still charge reasonable rates to clients. By concentrating on taking costs out of processes and streamlining them, we've been successful. It's less glamorous. It's the same as the gold rush.
