Logistics Warehouse and Supply Chain Awards 2020

Logistics Warehouse & Supply Chain Awards 2020 17 May20117 TheWarehouse Auditing App of the Year 2020 Here, we look at the story behind the app’s success. For the past ten years, the Warehouse Auditor team has been developing apps to improve the audit and inspection process, in construction, civil engineering, facilities and property management, and in 2019 the logistics sector. The goal: to streamline the audit and inspection process, eliminate the wasteful use of paper, and replace with an easy to use reporting app. Over the last 6 months global companies have adopted the tool, using the app in conjunction with their existing health and safety policies. What Does the Warehouse Auditor App Do? Replaces paper forms with digital templates, to carry out health and safety checks, risk assessment, and audits, using smart phones or tablet (iOS, Android, or Windows 10). Simplifying the way teams complete inspections, seamlessly integrating the data and photos into a PDF, colleagues and management can share instantly and securely. The app includes a library of forty pre-built templates, designed to follow set reporting procedures. For compliance, the photos are date and time stamped, along with colour-coded answers, to identify risks, and corrective actions, which are instantly emailed to the relevant department for resolution. Meeting the Changing Needs of the Warehousing Sector The current Covid-19 crisis has emphasised the crucial importance of warehousing, logistics and distribution to the economy, and to people’s lives. It has also placed huge demands on the sector, with increasing importanceon ensuring operations are both safe, and efficient. The pandemic has meant a shift in priorities for many businesses, with safe working practices, social distancing, and hygiene now at the forefront of how they operate. The Warehouse Auditor app is perfectly positioned to be integral to these new approaches to work, as real time information removes the need for paper-trails, clipboards, and the shared handling of documents. Eliminating paper from the inspection process, reduces physical contact in the workplace, and also has obvious environmental benefits too. The Warehouse Auditor team continues to introduce new templates into its packages, ensuring clients remain compliant with the latest regulations. Helping Businesses Embrace Digital Key to the continuing success of the Warehouse Auditor is helping businesses adopt post-Covid ways of working. The app delivers a much-needed cloud-based digital solution in streamlining the inspection of health and safety, in an ever-expanding and competitive market.
