Challenge	Bluebird Contracting Services Ltd. and the Trotter & Morton Group of Companies were looking to transition from paper-based field data collection to a more efficient and accurate electronic system. The delay in getting information from the field about operations and safety was a significant issue with paper forms. The lag time hampered responsiveness as well as strategic decision making. The structure, integrity and even the legibility of data on paper forms were also problematic. They needed a solution that could provide real-time data from the field, enhance safety and performance, and offer immediate, event-triggered alerts and notifications. Read More

Solution	Bluebird Contracting Services Ltd. and the Trotter & Morton Group of Companies adopted the B2W Inform solution to create and manage electronic forms and to mine data from those forms. The solution was easy to master with its drag-and-drop form template creation capabilities. Employees could access forms via the Cloud and complete them on any mobile device. The solution made form fields mandatory, preventing employees from omitting information and built-in routing and approval processes kept everyone in the loop on the status. Incident-triggered Alerts & Notifications is a vital feature of B2W Inform. Almost every form template at Bluebird leverages the feature. Incident report forms, for example, can be built so that checking “yes” for an injury generates an instant, automatic notification to specified recipients, such as the safety officer and the executive team.
