02Challenges

With operations present in many sites, York 1 sought an end to their paper-centric process, with documentation needing to be physically delivered to the jobsite. In order for new employees to be onboarded, their certifications had to be printed off, verified, uploaded, filed, and sent to Human Resources before an individual could get on-site

03Enter FlexManager…

Implementing a digital system with FlexManager allowed York 1 to have surety on when the documentation has been sent to a site, the ability to pull analytics at will, and allowed for the seamless conducting of audits (ISO, Core) and inductions

“If you don’t have a system, you have no way of tracking. With Flex, we can track it and know that it is completed.”
“For an actual audit, with Flex we have gone from three weeks to one day… for onboarding a new employee, a week-long process can now be done in four hours.”
