“I’m getting the information and access to it far sooner than I ever was before, and I have so much more time on the operational end to do other things”

“We’ve been able to make claims go away because
we have access to this system as proof”

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.
