The hub - FENSA’s cross-platform data insight and management tool - allows installers to harness big data to target, identify and secure new commercial opportunities. Commenting, Chris Beedel, director of membership at FENSA, said: “We’re ab- solutely delighted that FENSA has been shortlisted as a finalist for this prestigious award. We’ve registered nearly 13 million glazing installations since 2002 which pro- vides data on performance, price and other quality indicators. We were keen to use this data to provide installers with meaningful insights that could help them improve the service and competitiveness of their offer for consumers. “Installers are able to use big data insights generated from the FENSA Knowl- edge Hub to benchmark their products and prices against local averages, and also identify new markets. We are continually developing the tool which will soon include feedback on installer performance directly from their customers.” The Knowledge Hub was launched earlier this year to give FENSA members better insights into the market they are operat- ing in, allowing installers to evaluate their performance and prices against the market average, benchmark against previous data and identify sales opportunities through de- mand trend insights. Its offering represents a big data aggregation tool that is accessible to small and medium sized businesses. The tool uses insights from FENSA in- spections and registrations to identify the size of the glazing market in each local authority area, and can be accessed via tablet, smartphone or desktop computer. Other key insights from the Knowledge Hub include: • An overview of the installer’s previous work over a selected period, including metrics on elements such as energy ef- ficiency, inspections, window and door installations and average order value • The average unit and order value across each local authority • An overview of all window and doors installations and inspections across Eng- land and Wales The London Construction Awards, in October, rewards the very best in London’s construction sector, judged by a panel of senior construction professionals. www.fensa.org.uk Our purpose designed access platform incorporates a lifting mechanism to replace windows with ease.
