Direct savings in terms of time, cost and effort

The management of employee asbestos exposure information, scheduling of jobs and resources as well as the administration of employee training, medical examinations and equipment testing can often lead businesses to devote increasing amounts of time to these tasks rather than on their core business activities.

Moving from paper based and Excel based records

Many companies have paper based or Excel based processes to record employee information such as exposure details, training, medical and face fit test details. There are many benefits of moving this information to a computer based system, some of which may not initially be obvious. The benefits include:

• Paper based records can take up a lot of space and can be misplaced or destroyed by events such as fires and flooding. Computer based records can be backed up to multiple locations with ease and only take the space of the size of a CD
• Repetitive tasks can be automated reducing the time spent on tasks and eliminating the possibility of human error
• Keep on top of employee training, medical and face fit test requirements pro actively using alerts, reports and email reminders
• Create reports from any of the information held in the system with ease using any selection criteria. The information can be generated in a number of formats and be distributed to the appropriate people as required e.g. email.
• Advanced searching, sorting and filter functions. Basic versions of these functions are available in Excel but Seguro enables these functions to be combined and applied to any information in the system. The system is designed to allow access to information as quickly as possible
• Seguro is built on robust SQL Server database technology which is designed with performance, security and accessibility in mind. The information in Seguro can be accessed business wide at the same time by any number of users simultaneously.
• Keep information consistent across the business and avoid duplication of data
• Seguro is designed to be easy to use and is based on standard Office applications such as Word, Outlook and Excel. This enables users to utilise their experience and skills of other programs within Seguro
• All information in Seguro can be audited so changes made can be tracked including dates of changes made and users involved
• Seguro can integrate with other business systems seamlessly. This means Seguro can use information in other systems (such as payroll and personnel systems) without it having to be entered again in Seguro. Seguro can also "push" information to other systems
• Each user can customise the application to make it easier to use for the tasks they have to regularly carry out
• Let ngNINE take the strain of keeping the system up to date with regulations and changes in the industry. Seguro is regularly updated to include new features and enhancements
• Security - Access to information can be controlled on a per user basis
