Key Takeaways:
- 50% less time spent chasing paperwork
- Increased productivity
- Fewer delays
A Paperwork slow-down
DPW’s reliance on physical paperwork for compliance and documentation posed significant time constraints and inefficiencies. Gathering, processing, and managing paperwork, including safety documentation, led to delays and labor-intensive processes.
As tier 1 suppliers, DPW aimed to uphold high compliance standards across different rail networks. Ensuring worker and machine compliance was imperative to securing contracts, and this task demanded considerable time and energy.
Plus, allocating suitable plant machinery with qualified operators required meticulous planning and record-keeping. Therefore, a streamlined process was essential to maintain efficiency and compliance.
A Move to Digital
DPW opted to adopt the Assignar platform to address their challenges comprehensively. The implementation yielded several notable benefits:
- Efficient Compliance Management: Assignar streamlined compliance documentation, offering a centralized platform for managing safety documentation. The platform’s features helped DPW stay on top of safety standards efficiently, saving time and energy.
- Allocation and Staff Management: Assignar facilitated the allocation of plant machinery to operators. The platform’s visibility and record-keeping capabilities enabled DPW to match the most qualified and compliant operators to specific equipment, enhancing operational efficiency.
- Digital Dockets and Forms: Assignar’s digital docket feature replaced time-consuming physical dockets. DPW collaborated with Tier 1 customers to develop digital forms, reducing delays and streamlining the documentation process.
- Training and Implementation: DPW’s implementation of Assignar was seamless. A workshop with technical team members, followed by one-on-one training with the WHS Coordinator, ensured smooth adoption. The positive response to Assignar aligned with DPW’s innovative culture, and employees readily embraced the digital shift.
