FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Sellfware, the software arm of VJ Technology Group, is targeting the facilities management sector having received a patent for its core proprietary fulfilment platform, Opus, which gives FM organisations the ability to provide onsite, 24/7 access to essential items.
Opus can be used to transform existing on-site stores, or power stand-alone, staff less mini warehouses with intelligent stock control, multi-point security and a click-and-collect web ordering system to ensure staff and contractors have the supplies they need to provide the right service at the right time.
The Opus software was originally created to support the company’s iStore product, a unique, onsite procurement solution designed to reduce costs, improve cashflow and productivity, whilst limiting the impact of deliveries on the environment. Following significant Group investment, Opus has now been further developed as an autonomous product management platform including secure access with complete control and security of inventory remotely with robust security measures.
It can be used to support large operations or mobile teams covering multiple sites that require a high volume of supplies but have little or no secure space available to store essential items, which can lead to a drop in service quality or mean additional costs for re-supply as well as the risk of duplicated costs, increased travel time, or inefficient supply-chains.
Andrew Mobbs, CEO at VJT Group, said: “At VJT we are committed to using innovation and technology to bring supply chain value to customers and Opus is the latest initiative to support this. We have worked hard to foster a culture that nurtures this and sits alongside the customer focus which been at the heart of the development of our business in recent years.”
FMJ has partnered with Watco to deliver a webinar on Thursday 30th January where we will be grilling a panel of experts on how facilities managers can maintain a safe workplace while balancing shrinking budgets.
The webinar follows the Lifting the Lid report series that the industrial paint and repair products specialist has been developing over the past few years based on research conducted with FMs across the UK. The research explored core responsibilities of the FM role, including how they have evolved in the past decade, and the associated challenges to manage.
Watco’s Sales Director and key contributor to the reports, Chris Budd, will be joined by a panel of experts including Phil Pinnington, Head of Audit & Consultancy at the British Safety Council, Nick Bray, Head of HSEQ, ISS UK and Ireland and Jenni Gallop, Director of Estates and Facilities at Provide Community.
With decades of combined experience in the introduction and management of health and safety in complex, demanding environments, the panel will provide the audience with recommendations broken down into steps that can be introduced immediately.
The panel will discuss the research data from FMs across the UK, the evidence they have seen of those experiences across industries and their first-hand recommendations on how to manage those challenges and ease the pressure.
