A UK M&E contractor needs software that plans engineers across sites, records hours at the gate and produces the certificate at the appliance. Unibuild is bespoke business software built for that shape of firm: QR clock-in timesheets, the weekly labour planner, gas and F-Gas records, and safe isolation permits.
Certificated work is the product. It gets produced on a pad in a van, photographed, sent by message, and typed up days later by somebody who was not there.
All of it on one account, with every engineer on it and never a charge per seat.
Unibuild does three things. It records the work where the work is, it evidences it attributably and retrievably, and it prompts before a date passes. The duty stays with the duty holder.
In the order an M&E business feels them: recording work where the work is, and proving competence when somebody asks.
An A4 poster at the site entrance carries the project QR code. The operative scans it and the QR clock-in records the clock-in against the correct job.
Employed staff, agency workers and subcontract firms on one weekly grid, published to a wall board and to every operative's phone.
The record is created at the appliance. There is no paper original, so there is no transcription step and no transcription error.
The four part permit your engineers will recognise immediately as the real thing rather than a generic form with a signature box.
No purchase without an order, and no order without a named person approving it. Raised at the merchant's counter, decided in under a minute.
Every card, ticket and course your people hold, in a grid that colours itself red when something has expired.
A working Tuesday for a service engineer on a commercial contract, following the information rather than the software.
The project comes from the code, so there is no job number to remember. The time is recorded at the scan, the phone takes a photograph, and the location is recorded with it. His day on the timesheet now exists.
The permit names the points of isolation, the points of earthing and where the danger signs went. The authorising person signs, he signs to accept, and the validity window granted is shorter than the one he asked for, which is recorded on the document.
Operating pressure, safety device operation, spillage test, flue flow, initial and final combustion analyser readings, ventilation and termination. He signs, the responsible person signs, and the numbered A4 certificate exists from that moment.
Supplier, project, value, VAT treatment and a photograph of the quote. Every member of the approval committee is pushed a notification that opens directly on the order. He is at the counter for four minutes rather than forty.
What he found, what he did about it, photographs of the condition on arrival, and the client's signature on the screen. Three months later, when responsibility for that damage is disputed, there is a dated document rather than a conversation.
Both times and both locations are on the timesheet for the day. On Friday a supervisor reviews a week that is already there, already against the right jobs and already priced at each person's dated cost rate. Nobody types anything.
Unibuild records, evidences and prompts.
The record is attributable, retrievable
and ready when it is asked for.
The same platform, described for the trade that runs it.
Each of these is a different set of modules switched on, not a different product.
Two minutes. A written figure by email, usually the same working day. Unlimited users, so every engineer in the van is included.
