Digitise paper forms

Adopt

We're seeing a number of companies in construction, property and waste implementing apps to replace their paper-based processes. This includes businesses in waste collection, building services management, home building, civil engineering and plant hire.

Some of these businesses operate large fleets of drivers, and there are considerable efficiency improvements to be had. Digitising forms helps information flow more quickly, reduces manual labor and also eliminates human errors. For example, one company can achieve 3 extra jobs per week per driver, which leads to amounts to almost 27,000 additional jobs generating over £1.3m additional revenue per year.

We recommend you asses existing out-of-the-box solutions, and if those don't fit your needs, consider a bespoke build. In many cases, the investment will pay for itself within a few years. The improved customer service can also have an immediate impact, helping you win business and retain customers.
