Read Our Tips for Using Digital Solutions and Learn How to Make Daily Life on the Construction Site Easier. Save Time for the Actual Work!
1. Reduce Manual Work by Digitizing Employee Data Collection and Access Control
Due to stricter legal obligations, collecting employee data and maintaining worker lists now take more time. A digital solution eliminates the need for manual record-keeping. With the right access control system and Valtti cards, the workload on the construction site decreases significantly. A smart system automatically retrieves the tax authority-required personal details from the Valtti card during the first login to the site. The access control system also provides a worker list for occupational safety authority inspections.
Using an SMS service, workers can log in and out of the site via text messages. This service is especially convenient if installing access control devices isn’t possible or during the early stages of the project when electricity isn’t available. Employee data collection can also be outsourced to contractors.
2. Submit Employee Information Electronically to the Tax Authorities Directly from the Access Control System
When the monthly employee report for the Tax Administration is generated directly from a real-time access control system, the information is accurate and up to date. Even a small error, such as an incorrect date of birth, can result in a correction request from the tax authority. Once employee details are saved in the system, they are easy to review, and sending the report is quick.
3. Reduce Paper Usage with a Mobile Induction Form
Construction site management desks are often cluttered with forms that need to be archived. A digital induction form can be filled out directly on a mobile device at the site. The induction form serves as a checklist for the trainer, and the employee can sign it on a touchscreen. Benefits of the digital induction form include paperlessness and real-time data on inducted employees. However, the forms can always be printed if needed, as they are securely stored in the system by site. Images, such as copies of the employee’s qualification cards, can also be easily added to the mobile induction form.
4. Simplify Information Recording and Sharing with a Digital Site Diary
Like induction forms, site diaries are often paper-based. A digital site diary eliminates messy paper forms. Recording daily site activities is convenient, and adding photos as attachments is effortless. The digital site diary can be sent to the client or supervisor for approval and is securely stored within the system.
5. Improve Worksite Safety, Quality, and Efficiency with Digital Solutions
Digital solutions also enhance site safety and construction quality. Various mobile solutions can be used for tasks like weekly site inspections and safety measurements. Safety deviations can be reported to contractors in real time with photos. Up-to-date information and communication make daily work easier. Since smart devices are already part of everyday life, why not use them for more productive work in construction?
