Health and Safety Issues also continue to dominate the Construction press, and effective risk analysis is constantly highlighted as the way to ensure these issues are addressed.  Site, Street and Facilities field workers need to be empowered to carry out these assessments, and need to access the right information when they do so.  As well as compliance, the need to review process and maximise efficiency in order to seek that competitive edge is a constant challenge.

AMT-SYBEX is working with companies in this industry to help in all these areas by using technology and business process review to provide solutions capable of dealing with these issues.  As an example we work with Infrastructure Service Contractors in providing mobile platforms which will enable informed decision making, improved workflow and progress tracking.  These benefits produce an easily quantifiable return on investment through increased productivity and reduced costs.  These field workers often work across our other industries in Water, Electricity, Metering, Telecoms, Rail Infrastructure, Construction, Facilities Management and Local Government.  Further benefits include:

•    Increased ‘gang productivity’; completion of more jobs; reduction in use of sub-contractors; reduction in travel requirements; reduction in overtime;
•    Compliance with Health and Safety requirements;
•    Back office efficiencies; employing fewer schedulers in fewer schedule centres; employing fewer administration staff;
•    Improved, and more accessible, management information;
•    Improved data flow to customers;
•    Improved data capture to enable correct billing and improved revenue recovery;
•    Reduced level of fines resulting from inaccurate and late flow of data to customers;
•    Decreased Working Capital requirement;
•    Improved visibility and audit overheads.
