FAQs
What is digital job tracking in commercial plumbing, and how does it benefit my Newport business?
Digital job tracking is the use of cloud-based software and mobile apps to schedule, monitor, and document every stage of a plumbing task—from initial call-out to final sign-off. For Newport businesses it means faster dispatch, fewer administrative errors, live status updates, digital photo evidence of work completed, and automatic generation of compliance certificates. The end result is reduced downtime for your premises, clear audit trails for insurance or regulatory bodies, and overall lower maintenance costs.
How quickly can your team respond to commercial plumbing emergencies in Newport once a job is logged digitally?
Because jobs are logged in real time through our platform, they go straight to the nearest accredited commercial plumber’s mobile device. Our average on-site response time inside Newport’s CBD and industrial estates is under 60 minutes. For outlying suburbs we aim for 90 minutes or less. The live GPS tracking lets you see the assigned technician’s ETA so you can plan accordingly and keep staff or tenants informed.
Can your digital system integrate with our facility management software or building management system (BMS)?
Yes. Our platform offers open REST APIs and pre-built connectors for popular FM suites such as Planon, Archibus, and Pronto as well as BACnet-enabled BMS dashboards. This means service requests, asset histories, and compliance documents can automatically sync between systems, eliminating double data entry and giving your facility team a single source of truth.
How does your digital job tracking ensure transparency in pricing and project timelines?
Each work order is time-stamped the moment it’s accepted. Labour hours are recorded automatically through our geofenced check-in/check-out feature, and all materials used are scanned into the job via barcode. You receive an itemised breakdown that matches our upfront rate card before approving any variations. Milestones such as ‘Investigation Complete’ or ‘Pressure Test Passed’ are date-stamped so you can see exactly how the job progressed and why certain costs were incurred.
What security measures are in place to protect the data associated with my commercial property in your tracking platform?
We host all data in Australian-based ISO 27001-certified data centres. Information is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256. User access is role-based and protected by multi-factor authentication. Audit logs cannot be altered and are retained for seven years to meet Victorian and NSW plumbing compliance requirements that are also recognised in Queensland and, of course, by Newport City Council regulations.
How do I access real-time updates and reports for multiple sites across Newport?
You’ll be given a secure web dashboard and mobile app login. From there you can filter jobs by site, severity, or asset type, view live technician locations, and download PDF or CSV reports covering KPIs such as first-time fix rate, water-usage savings, and maintenance spend per building. Scheduled reports can also be emailed to you weekly or monthly so stakeholders stay informed without needing to log in.
