Operational Foundations for Murphy Shade Co.

Revi Systems provided invaluable insights into my window treatment business. The expertise and guidance they gave me made a real impact, and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to strengthen their business.

Challenge

Brian from Murphy Shade Co. started working with Revi Systems to solve a problem. Business was solid, but there were too many unknowns:

• Why were profit margins variable quarter to quarter?
• Was the project pipeline healthy enough to increase headcount?

Approach

Revi Systems began by laying the groundwork for benchmarking and business intelligence. We conducted a detailed analysis of historical financials and operational data to build a 360-degree picture of performance, including project-level trends, cost drivers, and team capacity.

Armed with that clarity, we collaborated with Brian to design a sustainable, data-driven growth plan. Together, we modeled different hiring and pricing scenarios, built a forward-looking financial forecast, and implemented simple reporting systems to track progress in real time.

Execution

To drive measurable performance improvement, Revi Systems developed a system focused on two key levers:

1. Increasing gross revenue per man-hour through more strategic route assignment.
2. Prioritizing business development toward clients and projects that deliver stronger profit margins.

The deliverables from the engagement included a comprehensive business analysis, forward-looking projections, and a strategic business plan—giving Murphy Shade Co. the tools to manage growth proactively and profitably.

Impact

Within a few months, Murphy Shade Co. improved gross profit per man hour by 81% and charted out a confident path toward scaling operations while maintaining healthy margins.
