The Contract Management Module (CMM) involved is a tool part of CiMAS that allows all stakeholders to be in the contract management process. CMM provides departments or multi site users with electronic access to the contractor's operations department.

• CMM allows site personnel to request additional work or periodic services and specify their delivery requirements.

• CMM allows all sites to access relevant KPI's and or contractual compliance items and to communicate any issues they may have with the services or to log a non-conformance report.

• CMM logs the status of all transactions and keeps a summary of all responses for each site or location.

• CMM allows all stakeholders at any time to complete and submit a satisfaction survey.

CMM significantly reduces the time and cost involved in paper based work order processes and work scheduling.

• CMM confirms all transactions and advises the department of the status change by email.

• CMM advises your accounting package of work completion for invoicing. • CMM provides the capacity for all service users to carry out Service Satisfaction Surveys.

Forms Builder Engine

A key component of the solution is a centrally managed forms builder engine. This enables the client to take e-forms and constructed templates that relate specifically to the type of data collection that is being undertaken. Clients can replace messy paper-based forms with purpose-built electronic templates, with the added capability of forms that will feed into existing systems and processes.

Other features of the forms builder engine include:

• Multiple user-access levels

• Strict control of user access

• Automatic scoring and weighting of inspections

• Compliance acknowledgement

• Capacity to build in multiple drop-screens to automate functions and simplify user access

• Ability to build your own unique forms that reflect your industry, or to choose from the library of forms and modify them

The system is tailor-made for any situation that requires data to be accurately collected over large physical areas, such as factories, warehouses, refineries, shopping centres, public transport networks and so on.
