Doorset specification software free trial now available for trade

» ASSA ABLOY OPENING Solutions UK & Ireland is offering new and existing trade customers a free six-month trial of its Openings Studio™ BIM; a unique software platform designed specifically for the door and hardware industry. Managing door assets from specification, through manufacturing, installation and product in service, this unrivalled program genuinely delivers the full expectations of the Golden Thread.
Openings StudioTM connects this activity right back to design intent, providing real time evidence of design development, change management and product history and therein giving all stakeholders additional peace of mind.
Information stored within the cloud environment enables buildings to be safely and effectively designed, constructed and operated, providing a genuine seamless link between design intent during the specification process onto the product in service.
Every door logged in Openings StudioTM is automatically assigned a unique digital asset tag, which ASSA ABLOY affix to the door as an RFID Tag. The asset tag functionality enables the registered user direct access through the Mobile App to the individual door details; including product specification, hardware schedules, product data sheets, photographic evidence of factory inspections, but most importantly, gives our
Trade Partners the opportunity to add digital records of onsite installation and ongoing service history.
Brian Sofley, Managing Director at ASSA ABLOY Openings StudioTM, said:“ We are always looking at ways we can support our trade customers, and one of their pain points is unwarranted counter charges often incurred from projects, or unreasonable excuses from their customers for delaying much needed payments. With limited or disputable evidence to respond to these claims, they often find themselves out of pocket.
“ However, Openings StudioTM provides the crucial golden thread of information to demonstrate any work that has been carried out both in
the factory and on site; real time reporting demonstrating project completion progress, outstanding works and final inspection reporting.
“ Through the Mobile App, an after-sales custom reporting tool can be used to complete compliance checks on the installed product in service, and keep record of any updates, changes or replacements.”
