About Preservation Timber – A business dedicated to preserving Maine’s heritage and structure

Preservation Timber is a traditional timber framing company specializing in the structural repair of historic timber-framed buildings. Preservation Timber Framing was incorporated in 1998 with a team of 3 craftsmen. Today, PTF, Inc. has a team of highly talented craftspeople who are dedicated to the preservation of historic buildings.

Making the switch from paper checks to digital payments

Flume, fortunately, had the opportunity to speak to Emilee Bolduc, the office manager of PTF to discuss the common issues they were facing with sending payments. As someone who wears many hats in the office, such as being in charge of HR, payroll, contracts, and insurance, Emilee found it time-consuming to write checks and mail them the old-fashioned way. Since switching to Flume, Emilee no longer has to worry about making the trip to the mailbox and writing checks. She can simply find all her vendors and subcontractors in her Flume dashboard, and pay them from her phone!

 “Flume has changed our payment workflow for the better. I can do it all from one spot. I just start typing in who I’m paying, they’re populated now so It’s just a drop-down menu of which vendor I’m paying. Put in the amount, put in a note – send! Next!” 

The best part? Her vendors and subcontractors now have the option to receive their payments faster. They can choose to receive payments digitally through one of three payment methods. ACH transfer, digital check, or paper check! 

What really matters to your small business

Flume was built on one mission and one mission only. To have an easy-to-use, intuitive interface that small businesses can rely on to easily manage their projects, payments, and documents. We’ve built the Flume platform so a busy office manager like Emily can breathe that sigh of relief knowing she can complete all payments easily, and on time with a few easy swipes on the Flume app.
