POWER’s COO Timothy Wenhold Speaks at Qualified Remodeler Top 500 Live

Company

POWER Chief Operating Office/ Partner Timothy Wenhold recently spoke at Qualified Remodeler’s Top 500 Live. Qualified Remodeler is a leading trade publication for residential remodelers and home improvement professionals; each year, QR ranks the nation’s largest remodeling and home improvement firms based on gross annual revenue. This year, POWER placed #3 on the list.

Following the Top 500 ranking announcement, QR holds a live conference, inviting leaders from the influential companies shaping the industry. POWER COO Tim Wenhold was invited to speak and sit on a panel at this year’s conference.

Tim pioneered POWER’s in-house proprietary platform, Nitro, and created what we now call the Business Technology team, which includes 260 in-house developers and technologists. Nitro, built to scale, is designed to support POWER’s entire business operations, everything from sales and estimates to internal communication.

The Art of Scale

In his presentation, Tim shared his perspective on the next phase of technology adoption in construction and home remodeling businesses, which includes Nitro Intelligence: Power’s AI platform.

He discussed opportunities to use Nitro Intelligence to strengthen service, productivity, and growth while creating a positive, collaborative work environment and a satisfying experience for homeowners.

Some things Nitro Intelligence will do include:

– Summarizing complicated project notes and statistics
– Visualizing POWER’s products on a customer’s home
– Providing coaching and feedback to Power employees who interact with homeowners
– Querying and providing customizable statistics for operations and revenue
– Introducing a Candidate Concierge to help more candidates schedule interviews

These changes and the use of Nitro Intelligence will improve Power’s efficiency and allow for a better experience for Power employees, candidates, and customers. Tim also spoke about what it would look like for AI to work alongside robotics in the installation process.

AI’s impact on home improvement is undoubtedly large, and Tim has a clear vision for how POWER will embrace artificial intelligence within our business.

At POWER’s recent in-house tech event held in September called “Nitro Create,” Tim shared POWER’s vision for the future of Nitro Intelligence. Rather than viewing AI as a way to supplement human employees, Tim reiterated its place in the business as a tool meant to solve new problems and create opportunities to keep building. In his closing remarks, he shared, “We are always building for infinity. We will always have jobs here and will always be building and growing this business.”

The CEO View

Following his presentation, Tim also spoke on a panel called “The CEO View: Five Leaders on What Comes Next.” On the panel, he and other business executives discussed the factors shaping the home improvement industry right now. They had a candid conversation on consumer confidence, technology and AI, profitability, and much more.

Powering the Business Forward

Since joining POWER in 2007, Tim’s vision and leadership have allowed us to evolve like never before. After building Nitro and the Business Technology team, Tim now oversees all aspects of POWER’s operations and has been a pivotal part of the business’s rapid growth into 28 national territories.
