i.jamas Business Case - The people and the system
Mobile working solutions are being utilised more and more in the world today as organisations strive for increased efficiency and reduced costs. Never has this been more apparent than in local government regulatory services. We at james and associates believe that the i.jamas package, brings together quality interim staff and a proven system of mobile working, offering not only a cost-effective solution but also providing the client with more meaningful information on which key decisions may be based.
Saving money ? - There is no doubt that this method of working provides benefits. It is proven that 20% - 40% efficiency gains are possible across the whole inspection and reporting process ... the actual cost of an i-jamas inspection might even be a tad more than you paid last year ... time on site may be slightly more ... you have to complete the inspection, no short cuts with AM2 ... you automatically have the list of non-compliances to go through with the business manager ... before the inspection can be signed off.
Time saving, and thereby cost saving, comes with the automatic production of reports, auto emailing of the reports to the business, perhaps to the head office or area manager of the business as well ... all possible in a matter of minutes.
The sharing of inspection data with colleagues from an associated discipline can generate savings: if a business is seriously non-compliant with regard food safety, it is highly likely that health & safety is potentially a serious issue as well and isnt it likely that trading standards could also be a problem. The savings will come from the reverse whereby good compliant businesses move down or even off the routine inspection programme.
The system monitors inspection time on site, you as the client paying for the inspection know exactly, for the first time, what you are getting for your money.
