Companies are adopting software to create a faster, more reliable, and more refined process to carry out robust data collection and analysis. These new technologies not only allow them increased control over the information and data they collect but also enable them to analyse data in many new ways.

In the construction industry, snagging refers to the process of documenting issues and defects that need to be dealt with. Snagging software is a specialist tool which is used for managing and fixing these defects or “snags” during the final phases of a building project, often referred to as the snagging period, often taking place a fortnight or so prior to practical completion.

Why should you digitise your audits and inspections

Whether your business operations involve conducting safety inspections to identify potential hazards, inspecting equipment to carry out preventative maintenance, or completing property and residential inspections, checklists are a useful and often essential tool. They provide a clear list for field staff to follow, ensuring that inspections are carried out properly and thoroughly each and every time.

Having access to real-time data is essential for making the important decisions that affect your company’s bottom line, employee evaluation, and customer retention. By using real-time digital forms to collect data, businesses can reach their full potential.

Spreadsheets

For many teams and companies, spreadsheets are a go-to tool. They can be used to complete several important tasks such as collating and streamlining information, organising plans, tracking completed work, and balancing the books. As well as this, they play an essential role in many businesses, bridging the gap between paper-based and automated processes in a way that can easily be adopted by non-technical staff.

In recent decades, technology has transformed the way in which we live and work, simplifying tasks and making it easier to access information. In particular, it has had a huge impact on the field service industry, allowing for the digitalisation of many previously paper-based processes like forms, checklists, inspections and work orders. Thanks to the adoption of mobile apps, field service management has never been more straightforward.
