Assignar

The compliance management is the key feature that has been the most beneficial for the client I set Assignar up with. It makes managing plant and personnel compliance very easy. It allows all associated plant documents (along with scans and images) and service to be easily accessed in the field by our workers if their client requests to see more information. The same goes for worker's qualifications and licences. It keep them all in the one place, easily accessed from an app. The digital forms have also been adopted quickly and saves time on site, not dealing with paper records. Underground asset management and safety is key in this client's industry, so allowing Dial Before you Dig drawings to be uploaded directly to a job saves alot of time printing out the plans, or even if you weren't printing them you'd still need to take a long time going through all the emails each Utility Company sends through. So it also acts well as a document repository for project specific documents. This saves fieldworkers needing to access the other cloud platforms (e.g. Sharepoint) - it's all accessible in Assignar.

There is a decent learning curve when learning how to set up the program. The support and training was delivered very well though. I do think though that a business would still need someone 'driving' this platform on a regular basis. It's not a set and forget system for a small operator. Like most online systems, it only works as well as the data that is put into in and who is looking after and monitoring that data.

Ease of use
Adaptable
Great support
Well presented

some refinement required
graphing and metrics would have been nice

Machine maintenance and prestart were easy to use but there were no reminders for services etc we had to manually enter all hours to make this happen but I much less for a workshop program

Everything
No free trial, had to sign up full amount
Timesheets had too many issues to list. Constant complaints daily from employees
So many glitches in the app on everything and the complaints were from tech savvy employees
Not being able to see sight plans or any paperwork from app on site
Once annual fee was paid we never got the support promised
Could create the forms we needed such as SMWS but have switched to another program and have made all our own forms that can be edited and filled in onsite and everyone has access to at a 3rd of the price
