Are You Hiring More People to Get Work Done - or Just to Bill More Hours? Many consulting engineering and environmental consulting firms are on the hunt for talent to keep up with growing workloads. But here’s a question worth asking: What are you really trying to accomplish by increasing staff? If your goal is to maximize billable hours, hiring more people, or pushing existing staff to work longer hours, might seem like the obvious solution. More people = more hours, right? But there’s a hard limit to this approach. People can only work so many hours in a week, and over the long term, burnout and turnover will drag down your efficiency and profitability. Now, imagine a different approach. What if you could make your project managers 30-50% more efficient and your field staff 20-30% more efficient? Of course, you’d get more work done, faster, better, and with less waste. The catch? This only works if your priority is completing tasks and delivering results, not just racking up hours. This is where streamlined processes, and the right tools come in. Solutions like SampleServe software, for example, can transform environmental sampling by automating data entry, improving scheduling, and connecting stakeholders seamlessly, freeing up your team to focus on high-value work. If your billing model is tied to tasks completed or milestones achieved (rather than hours spent), focusing on efficiency becomes a game-changer. It’s not about working harder, it’s about working smarter. So, before you post that next job ad, ask yourself: Are you scaling to deliver value, or just to inflate the timesheet? The answer could transform your profitability, and your team’s morale. What’s your take? How do you balance efficiency, billing, and growth in your firm? #EnvironmentalConsulting #Efficiency #BusinessStrategy #SampleServe

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of presenting alongside Jim Cuthbertson from Blarney Castle Company at the Michigan Petroleum Association annual meeting in Grand Rapids, MI. A huge thank you to Jim for his collaboration and invaluable insights during our session. We showcased how the SampleServe platform is transforming project management for Blarney Castle, streamlining their ability to oversee a diverse portfolio of projects with ease. Jim highlighted a game-changing point: for companies managing due diligence transactions across large project portfolios, having all data pre-loaded into SampleServe accelerates due diligence, delivering faster, more accurate results and deeper insights. It’s a powerful tool for anyone looking to optimize their workflow and transaction decision-making. Great to connect with so many industry peers at the event, looking forward to continuing the conversation!

Congratulations to Sloan, Lauren, and Brian for finishing in the top 3 of the SampleServe Field Sampling Photo Contest! They received Amazon Gift Cards for $100, $75 and $50, respectively. Thanks for playing! We will run another contest in a couple of months!

Excited to share our latest video showcasing how easy it is to set up a sampling event and create a work scope on the SampleServe platform! We’ve added new features that simplify the process even further, especially for recurring events, which are now practically on autopilot. You can still tweak things at the last minute if needed, keeping everything flexible yet on schedule. One standout addition? Our new alert system, perfect for critical samples in remediation, public water supplies, or wastewater treatment systems. It ensures you never miss a deadline, avoiding financial and reputational penalties and keeping projects on track. Even better, this tutorial video is baked right into our project management tool. Just click the little “?” circle next to any feature, and a quick tutorial pops up. Simple, effective, and honestly, why don’t more platforms do this? Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gQPwfSKu

Not All Samples Are Created Equal: Water and wastewater treatment plant operators and contractors have one fundamental responsibility: ensuring that drinking water is safe for consumption and that wastewater is safe for discharge. Achieving this goal hinges on a crucial process, sampling. The Critical Role of Some Samples: While every sample contributes to a broader understanding of water quality, not all samples carry the same level of importance. Some serve as general indicators, while others are critical checkpoints that determine whether water meets regulatory and safety standards. For example: Drinking Water: Bacteria, lead, and chemical contaminants must be monitored to ensure public safety. Wastewater: Discharge must comply with environmental regulations to protect natural water bodies. Missing or improperly collecting these essential samples can lead to health risks, regulatory fines, and environmental damage. The Challenges of Managing Sampling: Despite the importance of water sampling, traditional methods often rely on paper-based tracking, which can be prone to: ? Scheduling Confusion – Missed or incorrect sample collection times. ? Data Entry Errors – Illegible handwriting, typos, or misplaced records. ? Chain-of-Custody Issues – Unclear sample tracking, risking compliance failures. These challenges increase the likelihood of delays, regulatory violations, and costly mistakes. A Smarter Approach: Digital Sampling with SampleServe: To solve these issues, SampleServe’s platform automates and simplifies the entire sampling process: ? Automated Scheduling & Alerts – Ensures critical samples are collected on time and at the right location. ? Digital Chain-of-Custody (D-COC) – Tracks samples in real-time, eliminating manual errors. ? Mobile Field App & QR-Labeled Samples – Field technicians use a simple app to collect, label, and log data instantly. ? Seamless Lab Integration – Ensures sample data is accurately transferred and processed without delays. Critical Sample Alerts: Preventing Costly Issues: For the most important samples, automated email and text alerts ensure immediate action if something goes wrong. If a critical sample is missed or fails to reach the lab, alerts can be escalated to the appropriate management team. These customizable notifications help prevent noncompliance, fines, and potential safety risks—ensuring issues are resolved before they become costly problems. Take Control of Your Sampling Process: In the end, ensuring safe drinking water and compliant wastewater discharge starts with getting the sampling right. With SampleServe, municipalities, contractors, and treatment plant operators can manage critical sampling efficiently and with confidence. Want to see how it works? Visit SampleServe.com for a demo!
