Fit For Purpose
THE COST TO BUSINESSES WHEN SYSTEMS AREN’T BUILT FOR PURPOSE
When it comes to building electrical and building compliance, have you ever
stopped to consider if your system is designed ‘fit for purpose’ and how much
time and money your current system (or lack of) is costing your business?
Even good work management systems that can capture or store logbook and
testing data, generally still require a manual hands on process to make the system
manageable.
Ineffcient and archaic systems can actually be a hidden drain on your business!
When a system is ‘built for purpose’, it is built with effciencies and cost savings in mind!
Electrical compliance in commercial buildings is a great example of an area that
has been slow to digitise, with most businesses still relying on archaic spread-sheets, email or cloud sharing, or a work management software morphed into an
asset management system
Non ‘Fit for Purpose’ systems have time and financial implications to every business that needs to manage electrical compliance. To name a few, these include
Data and Documentation Costs
(Lost logbooks, too many versions, reproduction costs)
Labor and Administration Costs:
(Field technician time to deliver results, admin staff time to type results, cost to make minor changes, cost of sharing test results and reports, cost of human error and re-submitting test information, staff turn over)
Risk and Asset Management Costs:
(Missed test dates, inability to track warranty/repair history causing non-compliance)
As electrical compliance is also a legislative requirement for commercial buildings, ineffcient systems can also increase the compliance risk exposure for businesses and stakeholders by not keeping compliance up to date or not having critical assets properly tested due to inaccurate logbook data. Buildings can deemed unsafe and regulatory penalties could apply
So what makes a system cost and time saving effcient as well as offering piece of mind for risk management?
Being designed and built ‘Fit for Purpose’ is the answer!
Real time software visible to all necessary stakeholders
With variable levels of access permissions.
Log books kept up to date with ease.
Tasks created to ensure that testing is complete by the due date.
Test results available to all stakeholders in real time
before the field technician has even left site.
Certificates stored in one place and accessible to all stakeholders.
Instant reporting on failed assets under warranty.
A notifications system that ensures all testing and repairs are up to date.
It is easy to be complacent when we have been using a system, morphed or created, for a long time. Now is great time to stop and have a think about what your current system is actually costing your business, and if it time to seriously consider a ‘Fit for Purpose’ system that offers effciencies to your business, and stop making do!
