TBL Fire Protection Digital Transformation - Onetrace

Committing to digital transformation is daunting, changing processes and onboarding teams can seem time-consuming and difficult.
But that's not always the case; when TBL Fire Protection (TBL) shifted from their previous digital platform for project management to using Onetrace, not only was the process straightforward, but it also quickly transformed their operations - giving teams hours back in their days.
As a leading player in the safety-critical fire protection industry for over 13 years, TBL has seen a lot of change. Any digital transformation it undertook needed to free up its expertise to focus on delivering high-quality work instead of spending time on resource management.
Making the case for a digital change
Operations, Quality & Systems Manager at TBL, Martin Logie, was key to helping implement Onetrace as the software solution for managing passive fire protection projects. His wide-ranging role included quality assurance, workforce management, and supervising productivity and costs.
Before using Onetrace, Martin and TBL faced a time-consuming process involving complex data collection and manipulation in Excel.
Tasks such as ensuring on-site operatives were working with the correct information involved using marked-up hard copies of drawings and printing large volumes of documents in the office.
A lot of time and energy was spent on project administration without delivering the benefit of a consistent overview of their projects.
How has a software-based solution changed TBL’s operations?
Now, TBL's teams get an instant view of their projects, giving them more time in their working day.
Rather than hours spent figuring out if operatives were in the right place or working on the right thing, TBL can focus support on specific aspects of their work and easily monitor progress.
For instance, users can upload unlimited fire strategy drawings in PDF format. This ensures that all stakeholders involved in the project work from the same document.
Additionally, it enables operatives to mark up the drawings with location pins and demonstrate the progress of their work_._
"I would note the biggest [difference Onetrace has made] is having more time in the day, as myself and the team now are not having to manipulate data to find out what is going on or chase up how and where things are progressing on site as it’s visible instantly from the system in a bird’s eye view."
What difference has Onetrace made?
By implementing Onetrace, TBL has a transparent and trackable system that has accelerated almost all its project management processes.
It further enables clear demonstration of successful project delivery to clients and full compliance with the golden thread of information and 3rd party accreditations.

I've been using Onetrace for a year now, and it has been incredibly handy for generating reports and easily sharing them with clients. But beyond that, the customer service is outstanding.
