A revolutionary new app designed to streamline business processes has been launched in Ireland by a Co Antrim firm.

The CoreChex data capture app replaces traditional pen and paper based forms,which can have limitations such as accuracy, delay in the transfer of information and the need to re-key data for analysis and reporting.

The app offers the ability to attach photographs, notes and signatures to forms which are automatically date and time stamped. It also captures the GPS location of the mobile user along with the time taken to complete the inspection. It enables forms to be smarter by automatically determining the outcome such as Pass or Fail and seamlessly assigns actions based on the information provided to aid workflow management, efficiencies and indeed safety in the workplace.

The new software, developed by a Toomebridge company of the same name, has proved an instant success with clients attracted in both Northern Ireland and the Republic.

Recon Waste Management in Co Armagh utilise the app to inspect company assets and manage site safety in their Portadown Recycling Plant.

Office manager Anne Coyle said it has "greatly improved" the speed of employee and inspections and reports.

“We have found the app so simple to integrate into the day to day running of the business and use CoreChex to conduct over twenty inspections; from the daily HGV & Digger Defect Reports to Ad hoc Spillage and Near Miss Reports."

"Undoubtedly the app has improved the workings of our business and we would highly recommend it."

Corechex managing director Emma Begley added: “It’s fantastic to bring the CoreChex system to our home market here in Ireland. We are committed to the ongoing development of the app with the addition of exciting new features and functionality. We look forward to helping businesses achieve a paper free and more efficient work environment.”

The CoreChex app is available via smartphone or tablet from both the Google Play and Apple iTunes stores.
