03The pieces
What a system like this is usually made of.
Prioritise the capabilities that create the most value for your first release. The estimator lets you explore each addition and plan your investment as the system develops.
Forms
Filled in once, on a phone if need be, with the answers going straight where they belong.
Approvals
Routed by your own rules, including who covers when someone is away, and chased when they stall.
Signatures
Signed online with a full record of who, when and on what basis.
Finding the document again
Everything filed where anyone entitled to see it can find it in seconds.
The ones that need a person
Only the genuinely uncertain reach someone, with the original alongside for a two-second decision.
The sort of detail that matters
- You edit them yourself, without calling anyone
- Last year's submissions still read as they did
- You set where the line sits, and move it once you have watched it work
04How it would run
8 to 16 weeks, in five phases you approve one at a time.
01
Getting to the truth
A written account of how your work really runs today, what the current way is costing you, and what your new system has to do about it.
02
Shaping it
Every screen and every decision your system will make, in front of you and signed off, with your live date fixed at the end of it.
03
Building it
Your system takes shape week by week in your own account, with something you can click on and try at the end of every fortnight.
04
Proving it
Your own people put it through real work with real records, and everything they find is fixed before anybody depends on it.
05
Going live
Your team moves across trained, with their history intact, on the date fixed months earlier.
05Asked most often
The questions that come up.
Can it handle signatures that stand up legally?
Either built in with a full record of identity, intent and timing, or through DocuSign or Adobe Sign where you already use one and your legal team is attached to it.
Our forms change every year. Who edits them?
Your authorised team can manage agreed form fields and approval rules. Version history preserves submitted records so changes do not alter historical evidence.
Does it work on site, on a phone, in the rain?
Yes. Your scope can include mobile forms and offline capture, with synchronisation and conflict handling designed for your working environment.
