"We’ve not missed a beat. June 2020 was the biggest month we’ve ever had in our history. We keep humming along."

Evans Glass Company

FROM TRADITION TO SOFTWARE DRIVEN SUCCESS

Evans Glass has been helping build Nashville since 1956, serving residential and commercial customers across Central Tennessee, Northern Alabama, and South-Central Kentucky. As demand surged with Nashville’s construction boom, Evans Glass recognized the need to modernize operations and move from manual processes to software-driven fabrication.

Partnering with A+W Software marked a turning point. After a focused four-month implementation of A+W Business Pro, Evans Glass transformed its production environment—dramatically increasing throughput, visibility, and control without adding headcount. Orders now flow smoothly from entry to delivery, supported by real-time data that enables better decision-making and consistent, on-time performance.

Even during the uncertainty of 2020, Evans Glass didn’t slow down—recording the strongest month in company history and continuing to operate without disruption. Today, the company views itself as a software-driven fabricator, positioned for sustainable growth, expanded automation, and the ability to scale alongside Nashville’s continued development.
