Business software and services company, ComOps, has won a contract to deploy its safety and risk management reporting software at Australian-listed construction and property company, Watpac.
Under the contract, ComOps subsidiary,
Australian Workplace Software (AWS), will deploy its safety, health and
environment (SHE) software to standardise and enhance safety reporting
across Watpac’s construction division, following the company’s period
of rapid growth and multiple acquisitions.
Watpac’s national general manager construction, Martin Monro, said
today the decision to deploy ComOps followed a structural change in the
company earlier this year which created a “stronger national brand for
the company’s construction business and resulted in a decision to go to
market for a comprehensive safety reporting system.”
Monro said recent acquisitions and fast growth had resulted in
previously stand-alone businesses conjoining Watpac with their existing
individual occupational, health and safety reporting systems which were
autonomous, home built and had evolved over time.
“While these existing safety reporting systems were appropriate for the
previously existing businesses, we wanted to standardise safety
reporting across the entire organisation in order to effectively scale
with our growth. We had reached a point where we needed to consolidate
out safety reporting into one seamless system across all the states.”
According to Monro, Watpac chose ComOps following a review of several solutions.
“Ultimately, the ComOps solution was the most flexible to scale for our
needs and could provide consistency across all the states in terms of
accommodating variance in local legislation. We liked the logic that
stood behind the SHE architecture and the way in which information
could easily be captured. In addition, ComOps presented a professional
approach in terms of customer service, technical excellence and
pre-sales support.”
Watpac will use the ComOps solution to record and analyse incidents and
produce detailed web-based dashboard reports using a common language to
manage its workforce of project managers, design manager, supervisors,
engineers, plant operators, estimators, contract administrators, design
managers, and site managers.
Watpac, with offices and sites in Townsville, Brisbane, Sydney,
Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Vietnam, expects the ComOps deployment
to be completed within the next three months.
