By addressing the challenge of managing employee certifications and skills, Vantage 365 demonstrated the power of leveraging existing technology to streamline critical processes.
The Challenge
The chemical dosing solutions provider, located in Basingstoke, faced difficulties in managing employee certifications and skills. They lacked a system to track certifications, which became problematic when clients requested proof of certification on-site. The organisation needed a way to produce reports on staff certifications and identify skill gaps promptly. Additionally, they sought a mobile solution accessible to site supervisors and clients’ personnel.
The Solution
Having an ongoing partnership with the client as a Microsoft 365 consultant, Matt Weston, Managing Director of Vantage 365, was approached to address the challenge. The solution involved:
Microsoft 365 Integration: Vantage 365 used Microsoft 365 as the platform to store certificate information securely.
Power App Development: To make certification details easily accessible, Vantage 365 created a custom Power App. This allowed staff to retrieve information through mobile devices. Two versions of the app were developed: a desktop version for administration and a mobile version for employees in the field.
Cost-Effective Solution: By leveraging existing Microsoft 365 subscriptions, Vantage 365 offered a cost-effective solution that maximized the client’s investment.
