One platform, shaped by sector

Pick your world.

Same engine underneath. Each sector gets the modules, language and checks that matter on its own sites.

Sound familiar?

It's not a people problem.

Good teams, held back by systems that were never built for the way they work.

  1. 01

    Shift reports and site diaries emailed, WhatsApped and texted, with someone in the office double handling the data to produce a report for the client.

  2. 02

    Timesheets on spreadsheets with one person holding the edit access and no feed back to payroll.

  3. 03

    Training records spread across folders nobody can find before an audit. Certifications expired before you knew.

  4. 04

    Compliance documents out of date, the wrong revisions being used on site, and a nonconformity you did not need.

  5. 05

    Commercial losses from delays and frustrated access that were never properly captured or claimed back.

What our clients say

Don't take our word for it.

“The IMS has improved us commercially. It has made us more efficient in the collection of data from shift reports and the ability to generate Early Warnings on site that are submitted at the end of the shift.”

Paul UnwinLB Foster

“The IMS system makes it effortless to manage our projects with its budgeting and live costing. We are commercially stronger as a result of the information reported from the site combined with the wealth of data and reporting formats available.”

Kurt DennisonKBTL Telecoms

“With all our company procedures being controlled and presented on the Dashboard, along with the Action register ensuring all incidents are closed out in an efficient manner, has major benefit to us in our ISO, Sentinel and NICEIC audits.”
