ST. LOUIS - eTradeWire -- Runding Corp, a leader in digital transformation for the built environment, today announced a strategic partnership with Integrated Facility Services (IFS), a Top 50 Midwest HVAC contractor according to Engineering News-Record (ENR). This collaboration has resulted in the successful implementation of Runding's OpenBuild platform, driving significant operational efficiencies and elevating staff productivity across IFS's operations.

The Challenge
IFS faced a range of digital hurdles common to legacy business systems, including poor data quality, siloed systems, and manual, Excel-based workflows that hampered productivity and introduced risk. The absence of automated processes also made it difficult for teams to work cohesively, leading to inconsistent data and inefficiencies across departments.

The Solution
To solve these challenges, IFS turned to Runding Corp's OpenBuild platform. Leveraging a Microsoft-powered digital framework, OpenBuild unified disparate systems under a single, streamlined platform. It replaced outdated spreadsheets with fully automated workflows, integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems into key business processes, and implemented strong data governance. This not only ensured data integrity but also ensured IFS's ownership of their critical data.

"The automation and integration capabilities of OpenBuild have freed our staff from manual processes and positioned us for long-term growth.

"We're proud to support IFS in their digital transformation journey," said Roger Konecny, VP, Operations at Runding Corp. "By deploying OpenBuild, they've not only streamlined their internal processes but also laid the foundation for scalable innovation in the HVAC industry."
