Optimum Fire Protection

How did AssetPool help?

Optimum Fire Protection (OFP) is one of South Africa’s most cost effective and innovative specialist fire sealing, joint sealing & core drilling contractors. They provide fire sealing, joint sealing, structural fire protection, and core drilling solutions throughout Africa.

The problem that Optimum Fire Protection had was that they had a manual admin process for submitting their paper claims each month. Some days, there were installing over 500 fire seals with equates to a lot of admin work. Due to the nature of installing fire seals, Optimum Fire was producing over 2,000 pieces of paper per month. They were filling out paper documents for every fire seal which then needed to be submitted as claims to their clients. AssetPool was able to solve this problem and add value to their team immediately.

The speed in which Optimum Fire Protection onboarded their assets onto AssetPool was noteworthy. AssetPool gave in person training on August 16^th and the company went live the following week. They were completely off their paper-based process within 3 weeks of making first contact with AssetPool. They then onboarded 8 different sites and 18 users in one month.

OFP saw another contractor on a job site using AssetPool and they were intrigued by the digital solution so they contacted us for more information. They now have a complete record of all job sites and installations. They also have the ability to give their clients access to their own “client dashboard” that shows only those client’s sites and they can see each fire seal installation report. The “client dashboard” has been extremely helpful for OFP since their clients now have instant access and updates on the work being performed. This means that OFP can invoice faster and complete more projects with less time spent on administrative work. The “client dashboard” also allows OFP and their clients to send PDF reports of installations, inspections etc. The technicians at OFP are now able to complete more installations in a workday which will lead to increased revenue for the company.
