BigChange will be showcasing the latest version of its field service management software at the Fire Safety Event (Stand 3a/G10). The Leeds-based company has been developing its multiple award-winning job management pla¬tform since 2013 and is now trusted by over 1,700 field-based organisations around the world.

BigChange brings together customer relationship management (CRM), job scheduling, live tracking, field resource management, job finance and business intelligence into one simple to use and easy to integrate platform. Visitors to the show will also see how the cloud-based solution allows fire and security operatives use mobile devices to synchronise in real-time with office operations and managers out and about, providing 24/7 visibility of all jobs.

The latest enhancements on show include features to help boost job profitability and save valuable time managing company finances. BigChange’s Price Profit Calculator helps fire and security firms ensure pricing is profitable on every job. This financial tool uses sophisticated pricing models to show the true cost of jobs based on the required resources, travel time and vehicle costs.

Of particular interest to the fire and security industry will be the safety and compliance on site. The BigChange mobile app, which replaces all paper reports with easy to navigate data entry screens, offers workflows that guide users, step-by-step, through correct procedures on site. This ensures stringent safety and compliance requirements are met and is also an excellent tool for training staff.

Mobile devices, linked to vehicle trackers, meanwhile provide accurate, time-stamped records, backed up with accompanying photographs from site. The BigChange digital job cards are also easily customised to meet specific customer reporting needs as well as allowing additional services to be added so companies can expand their service offerings.

Faelsafe Life Safety has transformed its business using BigChange as Andrew Hutchinson, Director of Faelsafe explains. “Since implementing BigChange we have slashed our administrative resource, we have removed every filing cabinet from the office, eliminated delays in invoicing and query resolutions and improved the efficiency of our engineers.”

“As it is truly cloud based, every member of the team can access and share the information they need, when they need it and from wherever they are, which positively impacts the service we provide every single day.”

Orpington-based Trustee Fire and Security meanwhile has boosted productivity by 25 per cent using BigChange. Director Nick Toomey commented; “We work in an industry bound by a lot of health and safety legislation and it is still an industry burdened with paperwork. We knew that moving to a real-time digital reporting system was the future but finding a suitable system proved difficult. BigChange proved to be by far the best option and offers tremendous potential as the platform to transform this industry.”

Another adopter is Wirral-based AinsCo Fire and Security. Dan Ainscough, Operations and Finance Manager said; “BigChange has allowed us to streamline our business and has been instrumental in allowing us to scale up our operation whilst still maintaining the high levels of customer service we demand and our customers expect.”

Elsewhere, Edward Barnes, CEO of fire-suppression specialist Fireward commented. “We had been through a long and unsuccessful process trying to get three different systems working for our business and all had failed. We then discovered BigChange and due to the ease of set-up, we were able to implement BigChange ourselves in just two weeks.”
