STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY

Web Based
Our systems are all web-based using the latest technology available. Along with this, all our operations are linked by a set of servers that are synchronised to each other meaning we can operate from any location no matter what the circumstance is. Most recent example is the Christchurch Quake where we still continued to operate with zero disruption to our clients.

Data Security
All our data is stored on servers where they can only be accessed with the correct levels of authority. We take this seriously to ensure not only our data is secure, but also our clients.

Job Management
Job reporting and job tracking is available as part of our full service. It allows our clients to forward plan their workload easier, along with keeping track on the status of all their schedules. Plans are stored online which eliminates physical storage and ensures the measured plans can be accessed at all times. This is especially useful for reference if your client changes the version of plan to what was measured.

Programming
This ensures that our systems are protected in case of disruptions or outages at any time.

Future Developments
We are always looking for ways to continuously improve and develop our services so that our clients are always ahead of their competition. Our clients can be confident that we are always investing in new ways of adding new improvements to our systems and procedures to ensure we are the best that we can be at all times.
