Frequently asked questions
We have many items for hire. Is asset management software included on BigChange’s platform?
Yes. Our asset management feature allows you to assign codes to each item in your inventory, which fitters can scan from their mobile devices every time they sign something in and out of storage. The system updates in real-time, meaning you’ll always have access to accurate data on all your stock, regardless of location. Plus, your back-office team can use the asset management software to allocate items directly to jobs, meaning you can guarantee that your fitters will have everything they need when they visit customers.
What health and safety features does BigChange’s hire software include?
With our platform, compliance needn’t be a worry. To ensure your fitters are following industry best practices, you can produce mandatory risk assessment and workflow documents that they complete via the mobile app. Fitters won’t be able to fill out timesheets until the health and safety forms are filled out, giving you peace of mind that they’ll carry out all work safely. Plus, you can create a digital library for your procedure documents and equipment manuals for easy reference whenever your team needs them, wherever they are.
