Digitize operations – digitized processes and management for more productivity and profitability

What better can companies currently do than cut costs?

War in Ukraine, massive increases in energy prices, supply chains at a standstill, wobbly demand, and a shortage of skilled workers – the outlook for the economy is unstable. What can we do as a business?

A common answer is: cut costs in the short term!

That’s understandable – after all, cost efficiency is the order of the day in uncertain times. But experience also shows that in the medium term, the economy will return to more normality. It is therefore equally advisable to make provisions for this time today. In concrete terms, companies should always consider which projects they can invest in today to emerge stronger from a crisis.

Therefore, in the current situation, “digitizing your operating resources” is a good decision. Because it is necessary to take the path towards sustainable planning and higher resource efficiency – through less waste, lower consumption, more productivity, and higher competitiveness for your business.

Companies, especially in the construction industry, spend on average close to 100 hours per month trying to find missing equipment. It can result in costly investments in new equipment.

Three-quarters of companies have difficulty managing the necessary inspection records and certificates. A large percentage of companies do not know the total cost of your operating equipment!

Questions like whether is it still worth repairing can often only be answered: “from the gut”. Spare parts are – due to a missing spare parts management – often not available and often only cumbersomely assigned to the operating resources. The result of a lack of comprehensive resource management software is that productivity suffers as a result. The costs per productively used resource are higher than necessary!

The question of the right solution for the management of operating resources occupies many companies. Excel lists are out and outdated.

Digital resource management software is becoming more and more popular and is being used more and more. On the one hand, digitalization reduces administrative costs, while on the other hand, it provides a clear overview with seamless documentation.

The relevant data can be conveniently recorded and accessed via an app, making it easier for employees to work on-site. As soon as the operating resources in the company are to be managed, an almost unmanageable amount of questions and tasks quickly arise.

It is clear that software for operating resource management should provide a clear overview of the current situation. This is achieved by making relevant data recognizable at a glance and calling it up with just a few clicks.

This primarily saves valuable time and costs. In addition, there is a lower error rate when collecting data that would otherwise have to be entered manually in various lists and across departments. With qualitative data, purchasing decisions, investment planning, and running costs can be better monitored. These aspects are important if a company has to issue various operating resources to different employees on an ongoing basis. The issues of shrinkage and damage are not foreign words, especially in the construction and trade industries. As an operations manager, this gives you a real-time picture of what really matters

Minimize downtime – this is how Craftcloud software helps you manage your operating resources. Track any equipment or material at the touch of a button. With allocation by location, cost center, employee, or project (job site), you have perfect control – from managing to optimizing your inventory of tools, equipment, spare parts, and materials.

An employee thus always knows that his operating resources are available and can schedule and reserve them for projects. Via a disposition function, an allocation can be planned or requested far in advance. Save costs through efficient planning and increase your profitability

All maintenance intervals and repairs can also be recorded and documented sustainably via the equipment software. Expensive damages due to forgotten maintenance intervals as well as long search times for machines are thus history. Your documents, such as operating instructions, purchase receipts, or service reports can also be stored in the system and are therefore always at hand. This saves costs and optimizes your equipment process enormously.

Digital resource management helps you and your company to increase productivity and to become more efficient and sustainable in the handling of resources, spare parts, and consumables. With Craftcloud, you have the right partner on your side to work efficiently and still remain competitive.
