About this listen

In this episode of The SubBase Show, host Eric Helitzer breaks down why automation is no longer a “nice to have” in construction—it’s a competitive advantage. With labor shortages, rising project complexity, and data flowing from every direction, manual systems built on spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls simply can’t keep up. Eric walks through how automation removes friction from material procurement, invoicing, and approvals so teams can move faster and make better decisions with less effort.

You’ll hear how real-time data, centralized systems, and automatic invoice reconciliation change the game for subcontractors, project managers, and finance teams alike. From tracking material histories and vendor pricing to tightening cashflow and improving forecasting, this episode shows how smart workflows align field, office, and vendors around one reliable source of truth—and why companies that embrace automation now will be the ones that stay ahead.
