Rural King, also known as RK Holdings, LLP, is a family-owned chain of farm supply stores that sells essential goods, food, feed, seed, and other farm and home products. The company was founded in 1960 and is based in Mattoon, Illinois. Since that time, Rural King has added more than 130 stores throughout Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, West Virginia and Virginia.
With additional growth on the horizon, Rural King had a pressing need for a project management solution to streamline their construction program. Recognizing the shortfalls of contractor-focused software, they prioritized Projectmates for its full-scale capabilities, including its bidding functionality, cost management features, and comprehensive pre-construction and scheduling tools. Additionally, the user-friendly interface and crucial integration capability with Oracle played a pivotal role in the selection process.
Through Projectmates, Rural King expects a substantial boost in construction program efficiency by seamlessly integrating processes, optimizing communication, and providing real-time access to critical project data, leading to smoother and more streamlined construction operations.
