What worries remote employees

Today many employees are adjusting to working from home amid the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. They are being faced with an entirely new situation and try not to lose productivity outside the office.

– lack of opportunity to reach each other quickly enough,

– lack of timely and reliable data,

– poor reporting,

– poor decision-making process,

– excess amount of emails and their confusion,

– etc.

This way, remote employees need a solution that will link the entire data collection, management, and exchange process as well as make it simple and fast. Mobile apps are the best tool for this task.

4 Tips to Keep Warehouse at Its Best

Posted on February 2, 2021 by Daria Ivantsova

Managing a warehouse also includes keeping it in good condition at all times. A clean and tidy work environment contributes to better working conditions, higher productivity, and lesser safety issues or accidents. This way, warehouse maintenance activities should be given as much priority as other daily operations. Here are some tips to keep the warehouse at its best.

1. Cleaning and pest control

After unloading the goods, the warehouse can be quite dirty and messy. Keep the warehouse clean and do regular cleaning so that staff can comfortably and safely carry out their duties. Also, warehouses often become an easy target for various pests. If left unchecked, they can destroy stored goods, spread infections, and hamper proper daily activities. So, this is also an important reason for a thorough cleaning as well as carrying out regular site inspections. Hire a pest control professional if you need more protection.

2. Barriers and floor labeling

A disorganized warehouse also degrades workflow. Use some tools to make the workspace organized. Floor labels and markings are a simple and efficient way of organizing a warehouse. Mark flow of traffic and forklift routes, designate positions of various warehouse equipment and inventory, and more. Also, use barriers to cordon off certain parts of a warehouse and make moving easier, faster, and safer.

3. Recycling

More and more people nowadays think about environmental concerns and about their contribution to maintaining ecology. Running a “green” warehouse is quite popular nowadays. It is based on the 3R – reduce, reuse, and recycle. This principle is simple to implement and ensures better warehouse condition and maintenance as well as the image of an entire business.

4. Special mobile apps

Warehouse maintenance is an extensive task. Usage of special mobile apps helps keep all aspects under control. Also, it is the best way to organize all documentation.

Snappii offers some feature-rich apps that can be extremely helpful in warehouse maintenance.

– Cleaning Inspection Checklist app. This app makes cleaning inspections paperless and agile and increases the quality of cleaning procedures.

Tips to Use While Performing Workplace Safety Measures

Posted on February 1, 2021 by Daria Ivantsova

Safety always comes first

Regardless of industry or field of activity, workplace safety should always be a priority. It’s about keeping employees healthy and workable as well as avoidance of legal risks. Many business owners and safety managers are looking for new and updated ideas and tips to keep daily workplace safety. Here are some of them.

– First-aid training with visual demonstration. Do not limit employees to one theory. Let them see with their own eyes and try basic first-aid activities. Also, remember to check and restock the first-aid kit regularly.

– Keeping tidiness and cleanliness. It is not only a matter of convenience and pleasantness of work but also a part of safety. For example, littering and cluttering a space can restrict access to emergency exits or firefighting equipment. Also, slippery, dirty, or sticky floors can contribute to injuries.

– Special attention to storage and labeling of hazardous materials. This goes for various combustible and volatile materials, chemicals, solvents, products, paints, and more. This is often overlooked. However, even a small leak can cause a serious problem.

– Use of appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment). Each hazardous activity must be performed exclusively in equipment designed specifically for it. Moreover, the PPE should be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage and instantly replaced if necessary.

– Use of special safety inspection apps. Such apps simplify and accelerate inspections of firefighting equipment and safety precautions’ compliance. Also, this is a great opportunity to get rid of paperwork in this task.

Top Risk Factors in Construction and How to Prevent Them

Posted on January 18, 2021 by Daria Ivantsova

All construction projects carry some level of risk. Proper planning, regular reporting, and being able to make good decisions quickly can help avoid the risks and contribute to the successful completion of projects, higher profits, and the ability to grow and expand the company.

Here are the common factors to watch out for on construction projects to not allow them to become a problem and derail the project:

– Poor productivity. Often the reason for this lies in poor project management and poor resource allocation. A good project manager is certainly extremely important, but it is also important to give him the right tools to build and maintain an effective workflow. Accurate and timely data, as well as constant visibility and awareness are the key to high productivity.

– Delays and interruptions in supply. This is a reality in the construction industry and it is unlikely that it can be completely eliminated. However, a timely and quick response to such situations can help mitigate the negative effect. Thereby, managers can quickly take a number of measures to reduce equipment downtime and prevent overpayments.

– Health and safety hazards. Construction is a dangerous industry in terms of injuries and general safety. In addition to the potential harm to workers, a serious accident can cause work to be stopped or delayed and lead to a failure of the whole project. Therefore, it is extremely important to maintain a strict safety policy and control everything related to this. It is also one more factor requiring a constant flow of accurate data.
