| Customer Claims $103,000 Savings a Year by Using integrum
In these challenging economic times, every company is looking internally to find ways to reduce costs and increase efficiencies throughout its operations.
One such company identified that by implementing integrum they would replace over 30 existing software tools, applications and file directories across its three divisions, and will conservatively save $103,000 per year.
The organisation, with approximately 1,000 employees in Australia, realised the inefficiencies of having disconnected disparate software tools and databases trying to handle the various components of their integrated Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment & Risk Management Systems.
This is typical of many organisations that use spreadsheets, small databases, file directories and intranet portals to manage functions such as Controlled Document Management, Non-Conformance Reporting, Incident and Corrective Action Management, Audit, Training Management, Risk Management, Contractor and Supplier Management, Corporate Reporting.
In most cases these tools do not communicate to each other (or poorly) and are not integrated as a single system. Accordingly, duplication of effort, time wasted on searching for information, data compilation, and data integrity create huge inefficiencies. As well as lack of consistency or standardisation across the organisation. Further the tools are often built in-house, and either are no longer supported or the cost of maintaining and upgrading such tools far outweighs the initial benefit of building the tool in the first place.
With integrum, all the functions are contained in the one seamless and integrated application, and which are highly flexible and user configurable. integrum operates across one site and scales up to many sites to global. All with web browser access required for end users.
The company identified the $103,000 per year savings broken down as follows:
Financial Benefit Activity
| Savings Per Year |
| Management Reporting / Feedback | $48,000 (46.5%) |
| Data Analysis/ Mgmt Review Reporting from Compliance Team | $16,800 (16.3%) |
| Improved Compliance Database Search function (reduce time in searching for data/info | $31,500 (30.5%) |
| Less Development & maintenance of existing databases, tools | $7,000 (6.7%) |
According to integrum’s Global Sales & Marketing Manager, Beven Schwaiger:
“This example is typical globally, of most organisations, large and small, that we assist every year. Many are so pre-occupied with the inefficiencies of daily data capture and monthly reporting that they cannot easily extract themselves from their current mess. Further, they are of the mistaken view that integrating their QHSE & Risk systems into one application is a very costly and time consuming exercise with payback measured in many years.“
“We are seeing a surge in demand for integrum due to the current economic crisis, that the identified real cost savings, the relatively low cost of integrum and its ease of configuration means implementation costs are low and results are practically immediate.”
With our flexible low monthly fee model more organisations are turning to integrum to achieve real results in efficiencies and cost savings with quick payback.
It is simple: You cannot try to glue together a bunch of applications and tools and call it a solution.
integrum Risk & Compliance Software is provided as either in-premises or hosted, Software as a Service.
integrum has recently been described as a "truly world class software for HSEQ & Risk management systems" and with over 50,000 licensed users in 4 continents is rapidly becoming the global benchmark for integrated risk and compliance management systems.
