THE TIME IS NOW TO GO DIGITAL ...
If there is one positive to take from the COVID-pandemic it has been the landscaping and groundscare industry ’ s ability to adapt to new ways of working and embrace technological innovations to not only allow the sector to continue to work through various lockdowns but embrace longer-term objectives to become more efficient .
You can ’ t work from home if you ’ re a landscape operative ! For the landscaping and groundscare sector , digital transformation has been central to work continuing as normal . One of the biggest challenges in this in industry was that , because work had to be carried out on a site , essential information had to be shared amongst many members of a team who were working more separately on the ground , with social distancing restricting how many people could work together or travel to a site together .
Alongside the pandemic related push to go digital . the need for more paperless operations has never been greater , as is the ability to store and recall data to help support better , more-efficient decision making . The amount of work that goes into client reporting and audits , plus the tendering for work requires more and more paperwork as well as constant monitoring when it comes to delivery . That is why there has never been better time to go digital than now .
