At Event & Media Structures, we are always searching for new ways to simplify day-to-day tasks for our team in the field. One of our biggest wins has been creating a custom in-house app that replaces traditional paperwork with a digital solution. This has made a real difference, especially for those working on busy sites who no longer have to manage stacks of paper forms or track down missing documents.
All Your Forms in One Place
Our app currently covers a range of core modules:
- Forklift checks
- Vehicle checks
- Handover certificates
- Scaffold inspections
- Equipment transfers
- Harness inspections
Instead of shuffling through separate documents for each task, users have everything they need under one roof. They simply log into the app on a mobile or tablet to complete their assigned forms, which significantly speeds up the process.
Easy Signatures and Image Attachments
One standout feature is how straightforward it is to sign off on handovers. The app includes touch-enabled signature fields, so users can provide their signature right there on the device. There’s also an option to attach images to each job, which is especially helpful for recording site conditions or noting repairs that need doing. Once the form is complete, the app automatically generates a PDF, ready to be shared or stored.
Staying Organised and Paper-Free
All records live in the app for easy reference, which means finding historical certificates takes seconds instead of hunting through filing cabinets. Going digital also supports our sustainability goals. By cutting back on paper usage, we reduce waste and help keep our operations eco-friendly.
Looking Ahead to a Fully Developed App
We are adding more modules and features as our team tests and refines the system in real-world settings. Our aim is to grow this tool into a fully developed solution that we can eventually offer as a SaaS platform, allowing other businesses to enjoy the same benefits of streamlined workflows and paper-free administration.
If you’d like to learn more about how our new app is helping our operatives work more efficiently and sustainably, feel free to get in touch. We are excited to see how this digital approach evolves and hope it can help even more organisations adopt a modern, user-friendly way of managing essential documentation.
