DIGITIZING SAFETY

With a manual system and cabinets full of papers, Heather knew there had to be a better way to organize and store all data.

eCompliance has enabled Heather to digitize and customize all important documents and information in one simple location, saving time and optimizing their
workflow.

By being able to customize forms, South Country Co-op has been able to tailor their inspections and processes to fit their specific criteria.Now, all processes
and valuable documents are centralized in this mobile digital system, which everyone can access.

REDUCING LIABILITY

As one of the largest co-operatives in Canada, this multimillion-dollar organization can become a target for public lawsuits for personal and property
damages.

With eCompliance, South Country Co-op has been able to digitize hundreds of pages worth of sweep logs and document any hazards mitigated so they are accessible in
minutes.

In certain instances where a customer or their lawyer has claimed that an individual was hurt on site, Heather has been able to produce their electronic sweep
logs to prove their innocence.
