Overview
What ProAutomated does: It provides staffing support for control system projects by supplying field engineers to commission and start up projects. How it works: clients schedule a call to discuss needed skills, then ProAutomated matches the project with ideal field engineers from its full-time team who go into the field to handle commissioning, freeing the client’s engineers for design and development tasks. How it’s different from competitors: the company emphasizes a large track record (15,000 on-site projects completed) and a high customer retention rate (98%), and it uses a dedicated full-time engineering team to swiftly provide on-site engineers across targeted industries (Materials Handling, Data Centers, Food and Beverage, Advanced Manufacturing, Medical). What its goal is: to help customers finish projects on time by supplying qualified field engineers when staffing is tight, reducing overload on the client’s core team.
