Old foreman in Denver told me software was just a toy

Had a job in Denver two years ago where this foreman, Mike, watched me log materials into my tablet and said 'Son, that app won't drive a single nail.' Stuck with me because he had a point about field guys not trusting digital tools. But last month I saw his crew using the same software to track rebar deliveries and save 3 hours of daily paperwork. Has anyone else had a hard time getting older tradesmen to buy into management software?

Question if 3 hours of saved paperwork is really that big of a deal.

Every time I've sat there re-entering the same info from a paper form into a system, I realize 3 hours adds up fast over a month. Multiply that by 20 claims or whatever you process and suddenly you're losing a whole day of real work. If you can make that time disappear with a simple fix, it seems worth looking into for sure.
