Your customers want to hand over the reins of their fire safety processes to a business they are confident can deliver. So as a business responsible for providing that confidence, what steps are you taking to make sure your customers feel at ease about their fire safety processes?
We don’t need to tell you that things like fire extinguishers, fire alarms, emergency lighting and other building safety and security functions need the right ongoing maintenance so that, in the event of an emergency, they are fail safe, every time.
But you know there’s more to it than that. The accreditations, the experience, the knowledge, all these things cannot be taken for granted of course, but what if there was another way to enhance your customers’ experience, to stand out from your competitors by offering them a game changing plus!
This blog will tell you how.
Managing fire extinguisher inspections
Carrying out fire extinguisher inspections, on the face of it, is a straightforward process, but the post inspection reporting that you need to do in order to put your customers’ mind at ease, is not quite so straight forward.
Providing full visibility of all their fire extinguishers, reporting the status of every single one of them, providing traceable logs of usage; if you’re wading through paper forms, scribbled notes and copying and pasting reports, you’re missing out on some huge time saving benefits.
What if we told you there was an app for that?
An app that enables you to significantly reduce the amount of time your team spends on inspections. Reduce time spent gathering report data and producing reports? What impact would that have on your business and your bottom line?
Using fire extinguisher inspection software to streamline your process.
There are huge advantages of using fire extinguisher inspection software and here we outline 5 of them.
1. Reliability of data
Digital records are more reliable, accessible, and easier to manage compared to paper based systems. Rugged Data manages all your customer data, account, site and asset info to the minutest detail, even down to the specifics of each fire extinguisher, which means that you can instantly access key information on the job and facilitate quick reporting.
2. Integration with other technology
Using a fire extinguisher inspection app allows you to leverage the benefits that other technology can bring. Barcode scanning for example is being increasingly used, and the mobile app is able to scan and immediately provide asset information at the literal touch of a button. Just think about the reduction in typing, and the consequent mistakes that are saved from reduced data entry. Your technician will thank you for that one!
3. Sharing of key information
Stop your technicians wasting time trying to find those elusive fire extinguishers like a needle in a haystack! Using an app you can share and mark up floor plans with their precise locations – a real game changer.
4. Increase the accuracy of inspections
A fire extinguisher inspection software like Rugged Data brings accuracy and accountability by using features like Smart Forms – enforcing specific pathways through a form and Dynamic Form Population – providing fields that are pre-populated by The Hub central database. Not only do these features mean that your inspection data is more accurate because nothing gets missed, but it also minimises the amount of typing your team need to do as well.
5. Speed up customer reporting
Enhance your customers’ experience with a professional, and impressive report, delivered swiftly and easily to their metaphorical door. Reports from fire extinguisher inspection software can be easily edited by the admin team via The Hub and beautifully branded to really show off your company.
