BACKGROUND

Vaporline is a leading provider of professional and accredited safety inspection services for PUWER and CompEx across various industries. Specifically, their focus is serving clients in the Manufacturing and Pharmaceutical sectors. Vaporline recognised a prevalent issue among clients who relied on outdated inspection methods, leading to the loss of essential paper records and the mismanagement of crucial databases. By doing so, Vaporline clients put themselves at risk of non-compliance with industry standards, making it more costly in the long run.

CLIENT CHALLENGE

Acknowledging the unique challenges faced by their clients, Vaporline realised the necessity for a cutting-edge commercial mobile application. This innovative solution would serve as a pivotal tool to liberate their clients from outdated practices and enable them to efficiently manage data and inspections while ensuring strict compliance with regulatory standards.

Moreover, the application had to be configured for industrial environments and equipped to function seamlessly both online and offline. This adaptability proved vital, considering that many of their clients operated in areas with limited signal availability due to hazardous conditions.

Arnlea were excellent at assisting us in solving many problems at a granular level, understanding our needs and enabling a smooth data migration onto the Nexar platform. We then had a solid basis to move forwards in establishing consistent and accurate CompEx data across the plant, enabling our inspectors to successfully resolve many issues and dramatically improve the quality and accuracy of reporting to the client and safety monitoring. We find that the app gathers all the data well and custom reports enable us to present professionally to the client. Back-office management of the site in Nexar is very straightforward. Arnlea also gave us very effective help in learning Nexar and deploying it in the field. We are very pleased with the high standard of support we’ve received.
