About Sleator Plant
Sleator Plant supplies construction plant machinery in Ireland. Specifically, they represent brands such as Mecalac, Terex-Trucks, and Terex-Genie. These include site dumpers, articulated off-road hauliers, and access equipment.
However, Sleator Plant wanted to streamline their business processes. Therefore, they looked for a paperless solution to manage their day-to-day activities.
What Were Sleator Plant’s Job Management Issues?
Previously, Sleator Plant was reliant on a paperwork system of job cards and filing. Unfortunately, they faced common problems like lost job sheets, time-consuming data entry, and slow invoicing. Consequently, these issues drove the company to switch to a fully paperless office.
Aaron McCaul from Sleator Plant emphasised, “Our new dynamic approach to the business highlighted the need to jump forward into a fully paperless service environment. We also needed a better way to record machinery history and forward plan further maintenance.”
Real-Time Job Tracking
Now, WorkPal’s live job list allows office staff to see which jobs are currently active. At a glance, they know exactly what is happening. Meanwhile, field engineers complete scheduled jobs onsite. They can also easily fill out any additional expenses incurred.
Once the job is marked as complete and a customer signature is received, the system updates instantly. Next, all information including labour, travel, and materials is stored in the WorkPal system. As a result, job cards are a thing of the past.
Asset Management Features
Furthermore, WorkPal’s asset management feature gives you the ability to monitor your assets. For instance, you can track the service history and movement of equipment. Additionally, asset scanning is available. This allows mobile workers to scan a QR or bar code through WorkPal. Thus, this helps to identify specific assets, log any faults, and record materials used. Ultimately, this improves first-time fix rates.
What Are The Benefits Of WorkPal For Sleator Plant?
“The WorkPal system has jumped us 10 years forward in regards to operating a completely paperless service department.”
Streamlined Operations
WorkPal’s software means offices can now streamline their business operations. Because of this, they create more accurate records and reduce administration time.
“WorkPal also integrates health and safety aspects, timecards, location tracking and technical data storage on the devices, which can also double up as a mobile phone.”
Moreover, WorkPal’s bundle offerings create a unique package for our clients. This includes the WorkPal software, device, and SIM all under one contract.
How Did WorkPal Enhance Business Capabilities?
Significantly, WorkPal offers businesses the ability to build an overview of their job history. Therefore, this facilitates better planning and decision-making on a management level.
“We can now easily build asset histories, forward plan future maintenance, and at the same time, it is completely tailored to Sleator Plant and how we process manage.”
Productive Growth
“It also allowed us to automate tasks than frees man hours for productive business growth, not just cope with the paperwork backlog.”
