Workforce Management Software
The BORIS app provides workforce management software that supports both managers and operatives in their day-to-day operations, providing real-time data capture and reporting to ensure efficient and safe working practices.
Use BORIS for your workforce management to record, report and review the costs, performance and productivity of your business and your teams.
Expedite new employee induction and replace paperwork with digital forms held within the BORIS app, including signature capture for the individual and their line manager on completion.
Centralised document storage enables training records to be uploaded to BORIS; managers can identify employees with the required qualifications to carry out the works, whilst field service teams have their certificates to hand if they need to provide evidence when on site.
GPS is one of the many data capture features of BORIS used to support mobile workforce and field service management. Use GPS tracking to monitor the safety of lone workers to identify their location should you lose communication.
If errors are noted on site managers can use BORIS mobile forms to deliver and record the relevant toolbox talk to reinforce the procedures operatives should follow to ensure safe working practices.
News bulletins and notifications, for example SHE alerts, can be distributed via the BORIS app to instantly communicate important updates to your entire workforce.
Optimise productivity using the BORIS scheduler for your workforce planning; allocate the required people and resources to complete the job and deploy the works via the app. Field service teams record their works in the app, instantly uploaded to the host portal available to review workforce productivity and progress towards job completion as required.
From clock card and timesheet management to holiday requests, using BORIS for your workforce management enables you to assess employee availability against project workload to review your costs and avoid under or over-resourcing.
There’s no need for separate expense claim form software, remote workers can instantly submit expense claims via the BORIS app, providing a real time view of expenditure and no more lost receipts, saving admin time spent by both operatives and your finance teams.
