Yorkshire's BigChange Mobile transforms industrial cleaning specialist with latest tech

Community Clean has transformed its business by equipping field operatives with tablets connected in real-time to the office to replace paperwork.

As a provider of regeneration, protection and maintenance services, Community Clean is using the mobile workforce system from BigChange to manage operations nationwide.

The system, called JobWatch, also automates all back-office functions as part of a complete 5 in 1 solution delivered via the cloud.

Community Clean services a diversity of sectors such as construction, rail, highways, facilities and housing.

Clients include Network Rail, Skanska, Balfour Beatty and BAM.

Andy Izzard, director of Community Clean, said: “Our main focus is to do our best to help regenerate and maintain the environment in which we live in.

“We see evolution and innovation as things that make us stand out and the IT solution provided by BigChange really has put us ahead of the pack.”

Community Clean’s work is very diverse which adds complexity to managing the business and the company was previously using three separate systems and various spreadsheets.

BigChange has allowed the previous workflow and paperwork systems to be incorporated into a single, integrated system.

Using their tablets, field operatives can now instantly see all the relevant project paperwork, health and safety documentation, maps and photos.

Worksheets are now on the tablets and with mandatory health and safety reports, management can ensure that all the right paperwork is complete, first time.

BigChange has improved scheduling and with vehicle tracking allows Community Clean to monitor all aspects of the fleet including driver performance, fuel and CO2. JobWatch is also used for vehicle checks to record all vehicle compliance related data and for managing FORS accreditation.
