Introducing Glas Services

Glas Services is a professional land management and grounds maintenance business based in Ireland. Specifically, they have operated for over 8 years. The company provides reliable land management, winter maintenance, and property management solutions. These are available to a wide range of commercial clients. Furthermore, with a focus on attention to detail and long-term relationships, Glas has built a strong reputation. Consequently, they are well-known across the country.

Services and Scope

The business offers a full range of services to the solar farm industry. Also, they serve property management companies throughout Ireland. At any given time, multiple teams of skilled operatives are on the road. They are equipped with vans and expertise. Thus, they deliver efficient, high-quality work nationwide.

Discovering WorkPal

As Glas continued to grow, it became clear that spreadsheets were no longer sustainable. In fact, paper-based processes failed to manage jobs, schedules, and client communication effectively. The business first came across WorkPal through a recommendation. After reviewing their needs, the decision was straightforward. Therefore, they moved to a more professional, centralized, and scalable system.

Easy Implementation

The transition to WorkPal was smooth and efficient. With the support of our Implementation team, Glas migrated their existing job data. Additionally, they trained their team and got started rapidly. Within just a couple of weeks, the team was confident using the platform. Soon, it became second nature to daily operations.

“The implementation was very straightforward. The WorkPal team helped us get set up, import our existing job data, and train our staff. Within a couple of weeks, we were confident using the system, and it quickly became second nature.” — Brendan Lawlor, Managing Director, Glas Services

Improving Efficiency For Engineers

Like many businesses introducing new technology, there was initial hesitation from field staff. However, engineers soon experienced the ease of the WorkPal mobile app. Subsequently, they embraced it. Having job details and photo uploads in one place removed the need for paper job sheets. As a result, this streamlined their day-to-day work.

Transforming Operations

WorkPal now sits at the heart of the Glas team’s operations. All jobs are scheduled, tracked, and recorded through the system. Consequently, this gives both office staff and engineers full visibility. Furthermore, timesheets are accurate. Also, paperwork has been reduced significantly. Finally, invoicing has improved thanks to the ability to link completed jobs directly to billing.

“Before WorkPal, job sheets were getting lost, timesheets had to be chased, and it was hard to get a real-time picture of what was happening on site. Now, we have full visibility, we can track hours accurately, and we’ve cut out a huge amount of paperwork.” — Brendan Lawlor, Managing Director, Glas Services

Ongoing Support

From the outset, the WorkPal support team has provided quick and practical assistance. Whether through training or resolving queries, Glas Services has benefited. Ultimately, they receive responsive and effective support whenever needed.

“The support team was excellent. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and the training sessions were very practical. It wasn’t just theory—it was hands-on, showing us exactly how to use the software in real-life scenarios.” — Brendan Lawlor, Managing Director, Glas Services
