Business Case
Allens United Drainage & Earthworks Ltd is a leading Civil Construction company based in Hamilton, providing smart drainage and earthwork solutions throughout the Waikato Region. Despite their professionalism on the job, their Health and Safety management processes were still paper-based – costly, time consuming, and difficult to scale.
Every job required plans, safety documentation, and Council permissions to be printed and taken to site. Onsite workers had to dig through folders of paperwork to find relevant information, slowing down daily operations and increasing the risk of something being missed. Staff were also completing site sign-ins and timesheets manually, adding even more admin to the process.
As the number of projects grew, so did the mountain of paper. The company was going through around six reams of paper and up to five printer cartridges a month. It became clear that the team needed a more efficient and modern solution.
Our Solution
That solution came in the form of SiteConnect – a digital health and safety platform that centralises all site-related safety tasks and documentation.
Once implemented, SiteConnect immediately replaced printed paperwork with digital access via iPads and phones. Now, site teams can instantly access all critical documents – like safety plans, site maps, and council permissions – without needing to sort through physical files.
Workers sign in and out of job sites through the SiteConnect app, automatically generating clear attendance records and reliable timesheets. Everything is stored securely in one place, accessible both in the field and at the office.
Benefits
- Centralised Site Information: All site-related documents – including plans, safety procedures, and permissions – are now stored in one easily accessible digital platform.
- Mobile Access Onsite: Using iPads/phones, workers can view up-to-date plans and sign in digitally, improving efficiency and reducing daily friction on site.
- Major Reduction in Admin Costs: No more excessive printing – SiteConnect has significantly reduced paper use and cartridge spend, saving both time and money.
- Improved Accuracy & Fewer Errors: According to Allens United Drainage & Earthworks, the shift to digital has greatly reduced human error and miscommunication in safety workflows.
- Confidence in Compliance: Having a clear digital audit trail gives Allens United Drainage & Earthworks added protection and confidence in the event of inspections or incidents.
Results
Since rolling out SiteConnect, Allens United Drainage & Earthworks has eliminated much of the manual work that once slowed them down. What used to take hours in printing, filing, and paperwork is now handled with a few taps on a screen.
Office administration is leaner, field teams are more informed, and the business is better protected – both financially and from a compliance perspective. Going digital hasn’t just streamlined operations – it’s changed the way they manage safety for good.
