All works carried out on the network will be recorded via Velocity’s digital reporting system. Before/after photographs of each repair are recorded along with details about the defect, the precise location, date, time and weather conditions. Based on Microsoft technology, all data is uploaded to the cloud and available in real-time. Customised data capture and reporting is routinely carried out in-line with client requirements.
Digital reporting is embedded in our operations with over 50,000 reports submitted annually, increasing productivity, and providing greater insight for customers. Our operators are also highly experienced in working with clients’ own systems, using their devices.
As well as works reporting, Velocity operates a paperless system for all operational management. Point of Work Risk Assessments and site inductions are carried out and recorded electronically. Near-misses and incidents are also reported, shared, and managed electronically by all our employees.
For each contract, a bespoke contract Quality Plan and Process Map specifies contract deliverables, KPIs and contract reporting responsibilities as per ISO 9001:2015 and NHSS13 requirements. In addition, key performance indicators, communication channels and key roles & responsibilities will be identified.
This information is presented in a dashboard, which includes detailed statistics on spending, any downtime, repairs completed, square metres completed, materials used and any information regarding near-misses or unsafe situations.
A carbon calculator is also included, demonstrating the carbon saved by using Velocity Patching compared to traditional methods.
The dashboard is unique to each customer, and can be tailored to suit your specific needs and reporting requirements.
Quality checks provide a fundamental measurement of performance and enables transparency of product and services. In addition to Quality checks we shall conduct several TAIT (Type Approval Installation Tests) as a requirement of NHSS13.
As well as TAITs, using our reporting system data, one repaired road is selected each week for each machine, with focus on roads with high volumes of repairs laid. Sites are identified by our Operations Manager and assigned to either Supervisors on Managers to complete.
