WA Management and Image Plus have now officially come together to create a new company to publish the Under Construction app, Operational Compliance Systems Ltd – which has been presented the Lord Cullen Trophy as the Overall Winner of the SGUK Innovation Awards.
The app received some wonderful feedback from Safety Groups UK, highlighting the calibre of all entries for the award, and how Under Construction’s innovative approach stood out as the very best.
Norman Stevenson, Chairman of Safety Groups UK, praised the app’s ability to respond to the need of the construction industry to digitise.
“The judges acknowledged that this was a response to a real need to help SMEs in the construction industry to be more efficient and effective in managing health and safety. The development of the ‘Under Construction’ app has provided a great opportunity for them to take advantage of affordable IT solutions. The app provides SMEs with a simple, visual method to engage with health and safety wherever they work - providing information, analysis and reporting for anyone with a smart phone. Your entry showed innovation throughout and will have a lasting legacy.”
The SGUK Awards ceremony is expected to be held at the IOSH offices in Leicester on Thursday 21st September 2023 – those involved in the project from both WA Management and Image Plus are very much looking forward to attending and celebrating the app’s first win!
Under Construction is a personalised, easy to use, and affordable project management system app, conforming to ISO 9001 requirements and aimed at SMEs. The core aim of the app is to address the digitisation needs of construction, manufacturing and engineering SMEs, and to fill the gap in this market left by expensive, complicated, or incomplete solutions that are not feasible for a small business to integrate into their workflow.
The app has had its first launch release and is currently being tested by a group of WA customers, with a second wave of businesses ready to be signed up upon the second release.
