Several municipalities and companies are facing the winter with technology from GSGroup.
November is known as the last month of autumn, and many preparations for winter are now being made. Some municipalities have already felt the presence of winter, while autumn storms are still more common in other parts of the country. Whatever the season and type of weather, preparation is key, and technology can help.
There are many good reasons to have a road maintenance system, and just as many good reasons to expect a lot from the system you choose. With many players in the market, price and functionality will vary greatly, and it is up to you as a customer to decide which features suit you and your business. Regardles of what you are looking for, there are a few things you should consider.
Find out what is important to you and your business
As with most purchases, a good starting point is to ask yourself some questions about the purpose of what you are buying. A widely used system, whether in a municipality or a company, should be simple and intuitive. The functionality may be superior, but if you have to spend a week setting up the system and have a manual with you all the time, chances are the system will create more frustration and irritation than joy among employees.
The system should also have seamless communication so that it is easy for both those working outside and inside the office to have an overview. For example, during a heavy snowfall, it is important that the critical points are carried out first and that those working to coordinate this are notified when the job is done. Such continuous updating helps both the person doing the work and the person sitting in the office with a complete overview. Not least, it makes the work fast and efficient.
The fact that the system can easily document and report work done is also important. It is also a prerequisite that a job, whether it is snow plowing or edging, can be easily documented and that the reports generated create less and no additional work. It also simplifies post-control. Good search functions and access to information in the right folders means less time spent and more efficiency.
If the situation is urgent, easy call-in of staff is essential. A heavy snowfall or freezing rain can quickly cause a societal risk if accidents occur and emergency services cannot respond to emergency calls.
