• Time Sensitive Networking

The Barricade Company, a traffic control service provider in Las Vegas, Nevada, was facing challenges with its rapid year-over-year growth. The company's site jobs, which involve laying out and picking up equipment, were tracked using paper time cards. Each crew member could handle 15-20 jobs daily, each requiring its own time card entry. This paper-based system was becoming increasingly cumbersome with the company's growth, necessitating more administrators for data entry, a larger office, and significantly more time. Additionally, in a city known for its litigious nature, maintaining critical information on paper records was risky. The company had 40 employees and 20 subcontractors handling 90 to 100 traffic setups per day, and the paper-based system was proving inadequate for their high-volume needs.
