1 Scaffolding and Formwork Solution Keeping track of scaffolding and related costs in the construction industry, whether you are a scaffolding hire company or using your own scaffolding can be challenging. Internal and external scaffolding can be damaged, lost or stolen on site. It is therefore vital to keep track of items being used on site, items that have been moved from site and stock in store. In addition, if labour is being supplied these costs need to be allocated to the appropriate site. Calculating costs or income manually can be tedious as, scaffolding is continuously being moved.

9 Summary Growing your business requires the right software solutions to ensure good communication between the different software applications. Having a single integrated management information system across your enterprise is a necessity. Business Analysis The business analysis must be correct to ensure successful software projects. Whimbrel specialises in identifying business problems while taking into account long term goals. Whimbrel takes responsibility for identifying changing needs, developing and configuring the software to suit these needs, whilst supporting the business through-out the implementation process. Change Management Whimbrel recognises that successful implementation of software solutions can only be achieved through good change management, an emphasis is also placed on improving financial management and control. This ensures that improvements in both productivity and collaboration are achieved. From the beginning of the project we strive to ensure that all stakeholders are fully engaged. Change is not comfortable for many people; a company s workforce will need both help and an improvement in skills to handle change. The challenge is getting people on board by managing resistance effectively, thereby ensuring the required changes are implemented efficiently.
