In the motor plan industry, there are no off-the-shelf solutions, so we’re thankful that our technology partner, Xeo Software, is always up for a new challenge. Xeo has been working with us since 2004 to enhance our service and bridge the technology gap between our Members and us.

Murph is part of a rare breed of leaders. His presence on projects, phone calls, and meetings is always welcomed. He's ready to challenge and accept a better way. I trust him to always do the right thing. He always comes prepared, is insanely organized, and communicates very effectively. I am proud to know him.

This is great! Very easy to upload/enter and edit data. If the goal is to have a simple way to graphically display and share desired KPIs, then Xeo hit the mark.

They've got a tremendous amount of patience and willingness to satisfy us, even if it means doing something more times than they would like. That agrees with my philosophy.

There is a difference... the accommodating factor. They really do look to satisfy, they make that a priority. They care.

My division went from spending 2 weeks per month (…and multiple people, full-time) to create a disbursement, print check and mail to clients, down to only 1-2 hours total. We went from using envelopes, and 4+ pages, to 1 pressure-sealed page (containing the disbursement, check & “envelope”) Oh…and we are now 100% accurate.
