Cutting Costs and Streamlining Administrative Tasks

The water hygiene and water treatment industry involves many processes that require rigorous attention to detail, including the laborious and time-consuming admin tasks associated with them. There is a huge cost associated with all of this admin. But you might not realise the areas that can be made more efficient and the extent of the potential cost savings.

Planning one off or PPM jobs for engineers is a crucial part of the process, as it ensures that the right engineer with the right skills is available to carry out the job at the right time. This involves managing the engineer’s availability, making sure they have the right equipment and supplies, and ensuring that they are up to date with the necessary training. On top of that you need to make sure that the engineer has the right job info and they know who they are meeting with when they get there. You also need to make sure the client is expecting them to turn up…. It’s amazing that any company can do this with spreadsheets… But we see companies doing that all the time!

Simplifying the Reporting Process

Lab sampling and the matching of results is also a key part of the process, as it allows the team to monitor and analyse the water quality and the levels of contamination. The results must be accurately reported and managed, which can be a laborious task. Collecting and labelling samples, creating a lab submission sheet and working out which jobs are still held up waiting for lab results is also a massive challenge.

Simplifying Compliance and Issue Resolution

Then there is the creation of reports for clients which is also a vital part of the process. This involves compiling the data from the lab samples, the engineer’s reports, and the relevant regulations, and producing a comprehensive report for the client. These reports must be detailed, accurate and up to date, which requires a significant amount of admin. 

Any issues and non-conforming results found from site and lab work need to be logged and managed so that the client is aware of them and your recommendations on resolving issues and keeping compliant.

Improving Time-Efficiency and Client Satisfaction

Invoicing and quoting are also time-consuming tasks. These must be completed accurately and sent to the client in a timely manner. Renewing contracts is also a necessary part of the process, and this involves liaising with the client, going through the contract in detail, and making any necessary changes.
