We’re launching the UK’s most comprehensive field service industry survey—and we need your insights!

Your input will help create a report full of actionable discoveries, driving real change in the field service sector.

It only takes two minutes, and you’ll get exclusive early access to the report. Don’t miss your chance to influence the future of your industry!

New Navigation Improvements Launching Soon

Shortly we’ll be updating the navigation bar within the BigChange platform to enhance usability. These improvements, tested extensively with beta customers, optimise screen space, reducing the need for scrolling.

This new design not only improves functionality now but also lays the foundation for future enhancements, including full accessibility and seamless performance across both mobile and desktop devices.

As part of these changes, your logo will no longer appear in the top left of the screen. This adjustment ensures a consistent interface for all customers, simplifies development by standardising available space, and supports future enhancements to the platform. Rest assured, your logo will still appear on job cards and financial documents as usual.

This month there are not one, but two episodes to listen to.

  1. Alex met with Charles Scully, Managing Director at Cornwall Waste. He uncovered how Charles grew his business from the ground up to now serving over 2000 clients.
  2. Jonathan sat with Gary Specter, CEO of Simpro Group. Gary has led some of the most respected software companies globally, including SAP, NetSuite, IBM, and Adobe. They talked about cultural differences, growing businesses in uncertain times, resilience, retaining top talent, motivation, and his vision for field service software and how AI is impacting it.

Customer Spotlight: Mardon Group

This month's customer spotlight is on Mardon Group. Before using BigChange, Mardon Group used multiple systems, that lacked real-time visibility and required manual processes for scheduling work.

Since implementing BigChange, real-time tracking and custom job sheets have allowed for more efficient on-site issue resolution and faster invoicing.
