Large-scale projects simplified through ease of process

Without effective onboarding, it takes service vendors and their employees longer to get up to speed and drive profitability for your business. When your company struggles to manage onboarding tasks, there are several consequences, including:

• Slower third-party turnaround time, which may impact future revenue opportunities.

• Improper third-party vetting, which leads to increased legal compliance risks.

• Wasted time and resources, taking your attention away from higher priorities.

Greenup Industries, a provider of maintenance and third-party procurement services, provides a full range of onboarding solutions, maintenance and staffing services, as well as specialty construction services, to a diverse client base. Greenup Industries can solve your onboarding problems in five steps:

Step 1: Attract the best subcontractors to your organization.

Step 2: Evaluate potential subcontractors.

Step 3: Hire and onboard subcontractors.

Step 4: Provide on-site supervision to ensure quality work.

Step 5: Free your organization from subcontractor headaches.

During the past five years, Greenup Industries' strategy has been to identify opportunities to retrofit and change systems so they work more efficiently.

"We first realized that one of the most impactful ways to cut costs in facilities management is to have our vendors join the Greenup team," explained Rodney Greenup, CEO of Greenup Industries. "We now have thousands of experienced, qualified and vetted vendors and can offer our clients safe onboarding, quality control, oversight and indemnity for our services."

For 30 years, Greenup Industries has provided professional and specialized services and procurement support to a diverse clientele. A trusted construction and project management partner, Greenup Industries has built its solid reputation by addressing the needs of the oil and gas and telecommunication industries, as well as government agencies.

Through its proprietary software, Greenup Tracker, all of Greenup Industries' vendors are managed in the same consistent manner. Each vendor chosen to participate must be capable of performing quality work and be insured. Geared toward continuous improvement, Greenup Tracker significantly increases your project's prospects for success.

Before onboarding, vendors must sign an indemnity agreement, submit to drug testing and have a clean safety record (no safety incidents within the past 12-36 months). To ensure accountability and quality assurance, a Greenup representative escorts the vendor to the worksite and tracks the on-site training.

Greenup Tracker also provides vendors with an efficient system and reliable terms for payment.

"We developed Greenup Tracker to solve two different sets of problems," Greenup said. "For our clients, we wanted to reduce the amount of time spent administering contracts, tracking vendors and entering data manually from multiple monitoring systems. For our vendors, we wanted to standardize and ease the process of getting them onboarded, vetted and paid. The system is a win-win for everyone involved. Preferred vendors gain access to multiple jobsites and can easily add a work order, check on the progress of any job and monitor their payment status with ease."

Greenup celebrates Women In Construction Week and Naiika Bass' promotion to Industrial Division Manager

According to statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor, women comprise only 10.3 percent of construction workers. Even less is the percentage of women on the front lines of a construction job site, approximately one for every 100 employees. Greenup, a provider of construction, maintenance, and third-party procurement services, recognizes Women In Construction week by celebrating the advancement of women in the industry and the promotion of Naiika Bass as its Industrial Division Manager.

Naiika Bass, Industrial Division Manager

Bass was introduced to the construction industry in 2007 by her Mom, who worked as a certified pipefitter. After graduating from South University with an Associate of Science degree in Criminal Justice, she pursued her Occupational Safety & Health degree from Columbia Southern University and her NCCER certification in Construction Site Safety Technician (CSST), Construction Site Safety Supervisor (CSSS), Field Safety, OSHA 30, and First Aid/C.P.R. For the next six years, she worked in the oil and gas industry as a safety professional. It was her responsibility to ensure each location was in compliance with safety rules and regulations. "When I first began working as a safety professional, it was evident that there was a lack of trust between the field workers and management. I embraced the challenge to change this culture. After developing relationships with the field workers, they soon realized I was looking after their best interests and that my main goal was to make sure they got home safely to their families," she said. In 2017, Bass joined Greenup as its Health and Safety Manager.

Greenup's CEO, Rodney Greenup, believes Bass provides a great example of how women can successfully advance to leadership positions within the construction field. "Naiika has shown her ability and initiative to address the challenges in her work. Because of her attention to detail and her tenacity in regards to following up and following through, we have earned numerous safety awards. We welcome the opportunity to promote her and trust that her career will continue to grow with us," he said.

For all the obstacles that women face in the construction field, from lack of training to gender bias, nearly one-third of companies promoted a woman to a senior position in 2018. In Bass' new role as Industrial Division Manager, her responsibility is to manage all of the Oil and Gas Industrial 3rd party vendors. "I am so grateful that Greenup gave me an opportunity to expand my career into other areas of the construction industry. I wear many hats with Greenup and I enjoy wearing all of them. I enjoy the work I do, and I especially enjoy the culture here at Greenup," she said.

As construction anticipates a rebound from the slowdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic, hiring more women and providing them with opportunities for advancement is an optimal way for a company to expand. A recent report found that construction firms with more women in executive roles experienced higher than above-average financial performance compared to those companies that did not. When 30 percent or more of executive-level positions were filled by women, those companies experienced a 48 percent likelihood of outperforming their less-diverse competitors.

"At Greenup, we believe in hiring more women as they enhance our diversity and contribute fresh perspectives," said Steve Keen, Construction Manager. "Naiika brings a 'can do' attitude to her work and it is an inspiration to those who have the pleasure of working with her. Two of her many strong points are her enthusiasm and dedication. Greenup is fortunate to have her on our team."

Streamline processes with Greenup Tracker

For 30 years, Greenup Industries has provided professional and specialized services and procurement support to a diverse clientele, addressing the needs of the oil and gas and telecommunication industries as well as government agencies. Now, with the release of Greenup Tracker, its proprietary software that allows for a more streamlined process, Greenup Industries seeks to further solidify its reputation as a trusted solutions provider.

"We developed Greenup Tracker as a two-pronged solution," explained CEO Rodney Greenup. "For our clients, we wanted to reduce the amount of time spent administering contracts, tracking vendors, and entering data manually from multiple monitoring systems. For our vendors, we wanted to standardize and ease the process for getting them onboard, vetted, and paid. The system is a win-win for everyone involved."

During the past five years, Greenup Industries' strategy has been to identify opportunities to retrofit and change systems, so they work more efficiently.

"We first realized that one of the most impactful ways to cut costs in facilities management is to have our vendors be a part of the Greenup team," Greenup said. "Now we have thousands of vendors and can offer our clients so much more: safe onboarding, quality control, and oversight, and the assumption of liability and indemnity, to name a few."

Quality and accountability

At Greenup Industries, all vendors are managed in the same consistent manner. Each is vetted and must be insured and capable of performing quality work. Before onboarding, vendors must sign an indemnity agreement, submit to drug testing, and have a clean safety record (no safety incidents within the past 12-36 months). To ensure accountability and quality assurance, a Greenup representative escorts the vendor to the worksite, and any on-site trainings.

Ease of process

Greenup Tracker provides vendors with an efficient system and reliable terms for payment.

"Through Greenup Tracker, you can easily add a work order, check on the progress of any job and monitor your payment status with ease," Greenup said. "As a preferred vendor, you can gain access to multiple job sites and immediately see the impact of growing your business."

Greenup Industries is one of the largest third-party-services trading houses in the U.S. and has offices established throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Currently, Greenup is looking to expand to Florida and in the Mississippi Valley toward Missouri.

"As we grow, we stay mindful of our goal to provide the finest-quality services to our clients, to continually improve performance, and to add value to whatever services we provide," Greenup stated.
