Recore Electric Partners with Smart Labor Management to Gain Full Visibility Into Labor Spend While Scaling Fast
Brentwood, TN — August 21, 2026 — Recore Electric, one of the largest electrical contractors in the Charlotte Metro Area, today announced a strategic partnership with Smart Labor Management (SLM), effective August 2026. Through SLM's labor management platform, Recore gains real-time visibility into labor spend, compliance, and workforce data across its network of skilled trade suppliers, giving the team the control and insight needed to scale commercial and industrial projects quickly, without added administrative overhead.
Why Now
Recore Electric is growing fast, and that growth was exposing a problem most contractors know well: coordinating labor across multiple active job sites means juggling multiple invoices, multiple approvals, and multiple blind spots. As Recore scaled to keep pace with market demand, leadership needed one clear view into labor spend.
That's what tipped the decision. SLM's consolidated invoicing and reporting gave Recore a single point of visibility into labor costs and workforce data across every project, replacing a fragmented process with one dashboard and real accountability for where labor dollars go.
Breakdown By the Numbers
Weekly invoices:
Before SLM: their team was receiving 30–40 invoices a week
With SLM: 1 consolidated invoice per job
Impact: 97% reduction in invoice volume
Time spent reconciling labor:
Before SLM: 16 hours a week
With SLM: Work transferred to SLM
Impact: Up to 832 administrative hours freed annually
What Leaders Are Saying
"Before SLM, tracking labor spend across our active job sites meant piecing together invoices from different sources. Now it's one system, one point of contact, and our supervisors finally have the visibility they need to manage staffing and payroll with confidence."
- Victoria Bond, Executive Assistant, Recore Electric
"Watching Recore's field teams embrace SLM this fast tells you everything about where this partnership is headed. We're proud to give their team enhanced visibility and quality control over the staffing program, and this is just the start."
- Danny Parrott, VP of Growth, Smart Labor Management
