ERP for Fire Prevention Industry

Let's face the truth, in today's reality, it is not easy for any company to survive in a highly competitive market and be profitable, especially after one year of lockdown, paused investments, and the lack of clear predictions for the future. To do that, companies need to work smart and take advantage of modern technology. One of the beneficial solutions for the Fire Prevention sector is ERP software that can help you control all your processes, schedules, finances and employees once and for all.

Challenges of Fire Prevention Industry

According to expectations, the fire prevention market is expected to grow by 14% by 2024. However, it does not mean that companies in the market do not face any difficulties. Of course, each company has its own pain points, but let’s focus on the main challenges that are the reality of every business in the whole sector.

Main challenges of fire prevention industry:

• 01

  Assuring profitability and proper execution of each project
  Schedules, deadlines, risks, assigned employees - you have to remember about it all during the project execution. Without proper tools, it may become impossible for any company to manage processes without any errors or delays. At the same time, any such problem can impact your business image and discourage possible future customers.

• 02

  Ensuring smooth and constant communication with engineers working on specific projects
  For sure, you execute more than one project at the same time. Have you ever experienced any communication problems between the employees in your office with the ones on-site? Bad communication is a common reason for a project to fail as, without smooth communication, quick response to any changes in the project is impossible.

• 03

  Controlling the cost and overall financial situation of the company
  Last but not least, there is a budget, the pain point of every construction company. After all, aren't profits the central aspect of any business? Yet, many companies do not control their budget up-to-date, but instead calculate all the costs at the very end, being often negatively surprised by the final financial result of their projects.

Golden Thread for Your Business

In a world of fast changes, digitalisation and an unstable environment, it is crucial to quickly and efficiently manage information in your company. Without proper data flow, your business is at risk of project management and operational problems, resulting in financial loss and affecting your company heavily. Such smooth data exchange in the company that connects business management and project management is called a “Golden Thread”.

The Golden Thread in Archdesk means that software gathers all information in one place, showing an up-to-date situation in your company. All processes and data can be managed from one platform, with no need to use many different applications and switch back and forth between them, risking data loss.

  • Document Management

  All needed documentation stored in one place, accessible anytime Any kind of project is connected with documents like contacts, project plans, photos of the installation. The bigger a company is, the harder it is to find one specific paper. It may turn out to be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Document management in Archdesk allows you to have different repositories: for the whole company, each project, each employee, or each individual contact, keeping your documentation categorised and easy to find.

  • Reporting

  Take control over your projects with all needed information in one place Whenever you log into the system, you can see dashboards with all crucial information for your company. However, we understand that sometimes not all statistics are essential, and having them visible all the time only creates some information mess. This is why you can customise and configure your dashboards, so that you see only the data you need. Next, you can manually or automatically change all this information into a report, which you can download and view whenever required.
