Challenges
Relying on several disconnected systems, field staff needed to contact head office for training documents for Ministry of Labour requests, slowing down processes. Paper-based processes and created onboarding bottlenecks, delayed injury management workflows, and made it difficult to track certifications, ultimately complicating compliance and increasing administrative effort.
Enter FlexManager...
With FlexManager, NPL Canada brought all their safety and compliance tools into one centralised digital platform. Instead of working across multiple systems and paper files, the entire organisation now operates through a fully integrated environment where incident reporting, training, injuries, and documents are all connected.

Benefits of FlexManager
Improved incident reporting
Field teams capture and upload photos directly from the app, dramatically improving the quality, accuracy, and completeness of incident records. This allowed managers to review and address issues faster, ensuring safety concerns are handled promptly and efficiently.
Streamlined injury management
Tracking and communicating injuries have become faster and more reliable. Managers have instant visibility into each case, enabling them to respond quickly, assign responsibilities, and maintain accurate records for compliance reporting. The overall workflow is smoother, reducing delays and administrative effort.
Efficient workflows
By integrating all modules into a single platform, FlexManager eliminated the need to juggle multiple disconnected systems. Workloads are easier to manage, and teams can easily access the information they need. The platform’s usability keeps employees organized, informed, and able to focus on core responsibilities rather than searching for documents.
Faster field-to-office communication
FlexManager enables immediate access to certifications, documents, and other critical information directly from the field. This eliminates delays caused by paper files or fragmented storage, removes bottlenecks from managers having to track down information, and ensures compliance requirements are met quickly and reliably.
“Using the multiple systems that we had, it was very difficult. Having FlexManager as a streamlined, centralised system… it’s the best thing ever."
