In the critical realm of fire safety, every component matters, and fire doors stand as vital barriers against the spread of fire. For businesses involved in fire door installation, maintenance, and firestopping, managing these assets – from the doors themselves to the intricate parts that ensure their effectiveness – is not just about efficiency; it’s about compliance, performance, and ultimately, saving lives.
The challenge? Tracking the specification, location, service history, and inspection details of numerous fire doors and associated passive fire protection products across multiple sites. This can be a complex puzzle, but with BORIS software, fire door professionals can transform this process, making asset recording and management surprisingly easy and robust.
So, how does BORIS empower the fire door industry?
Transforming Fire Safety Components into Digital Assets BORIS simplifies asset recording by allowing any physical item to be transformed into a digital asset. This means every fire door, intumescent strip, drop-down seal, fire door closer, or fire batt can have its own comprehensive digital profile. This transformation is achieved through easily scannable identifiers:
- Barcodes
- QR codes
- NFC pins or tags
By scanning these with the BORIS app, the physical fire safety asset is immediately linked to its detailed digital record.
Comprehensive & Customisable Data Capture for Fire Doors BORIS enables you to create bespoke app templates to capture precisely the information critical for fire door management and compliance. For each fire door or component, you can record essential details such as:
- Full product specification
- Exact location within a building or facility
- Cyclical service history
- Detailed inspection reports
- Records of any associated defect management
The system supports various data input methods, including free text, drop-down options, and check boxes, alongside the invaluable ability to capture photos. This flexibility ensures you can tailor data collection to any fire door product or service, documenting its condition and compliance status with visual evidence.
Centralised Intelligence for Proactive Fire Safety Forget manual logs or scattered spreadsheets. BORIS ensures centralised storage of all critical asset data, making it readily available and in one place. Whether your team is recording inspection data using the BORIS app on-site or reviewing compliance reports via the host portal, you have full product specification and service history at your fingertips. This centralised approach also provides real-time data, offering immediate insights into the status of all your fire safety assets.
Streamlined Management for Ongoing Fire Door Compliance The ease of BORIS extends far beyond just recording. It empowers fire door businesses with features that simplify ongoing asset management, crucial for maintaining safety standards:
- Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM): BORIS digital asset management is designed to help you employ PPM by auto-scheduling regular inspections for fire doors. It creates notifications when inspections are due and allows you to allocate them to the relevant team member. This proactive approach helps extend the lifespan of fire doors and their components, ensuring timely maintenance and speeding up business processes by guaranteeing compliance.
- Job Creation Tool: Easily create tasks for repairs or replacements related to fire door defects.
- Comprehensive Reporting: Bespoke report templates allow for single item or bulk outputs, providing detailed reports of inspection findings for your review. These reports are essential for demonstrating compliance and can be exported in formats like Word, Excel, and PDF.
- Identifying “Wasting Assets”: BORIS helps you rapidly identify and minimise “wasting assets” – fire doors or components that decline in value or performance over time. By tracking their condition and history, you can make informed decisions to replace or repair them, ensuring the continued integrity of fire safety systems and maximising your return on investment.
By leveraging these features, businesses in the fire door industry can take control and manage their operations effortlessly. BORIS helps protect people and properties, ensuring that fire doors and associated equipment are always up to standard.
