CUSTOMER STORY

Yardbox Doubled, and Digitalised Every Job.

After doubling its team in a year, this family-run golf and modular business digitalised its entire site-to-completion workflow so it could train staff fast and scale across the UK and Ireland.

Industry: Garden Supplier
Location: UK & Ireland

The Yardbox Story

Yardbox began during the pandemic, when co-founder Cormac Carville, working from home with a new baby, needed a quiet place to work. He set the business up with his brother and father, building home offices, garden rooms and gyms.

Five years on, it's a golf and modular specialist, with around 75% of the business now in golf simulators, a new HQ with a manufacturing facility and showroom, and plans to become one of the best-known golf simulator brands in the world.

The Challenge

Yardbox was growing fast, and its founder wanted to grow it the right way. Cormac's background is in chartered civil engineering at some of the biggest firms in the UK and Ireland, and he wanted that same structure in a smaller business from day one.

"I wanted to bring that structure into a smaller business and put all the pillars and foundations in place."

The challenge was doing that while the team doubled in a year, without losing the family ethos or quality the brand was built on. Three pressures stood out:

Onboard new staff fast without losing quality
Capture project detail from site visit to completion
Keep full traceability across UK and Ireland projects

The Solution

Before taking on new people, Yardbox brought in Fieldmotion to digitalise its processes, a pillar Cormac saw as essential to scaling.

"Now that we've digitalised our processes, we can train people up very quickly and scale the business."

Digital site surveys

Teams capture everything on the app during the visit, so the office has the full picture before work starts.
Fixed, accurate quoting

Better site data means confident, fixed prices with fewer extras at the end.
Digital handover forms

At sign-off, snags are closed and serial numbers and warranties are captured and stored.
A professional impression

Capturing data digitally on site looks sharper and leaves a clear record to refer back to.
