PIAGOGO! Site Ready

Communications

The chasing does itself.

Expiry alerts set against the credential, email and SMS sent from the record they belong to, and every message kept on the file — so reminding people stops being one person's recurring job.

How it works

From a date on a record, to somebody actually booking it.

The alert, and the messages it sent

Step 01

The system notices before you do

Expiry alerts are configured against the credential rather than the calendar — commonly thirty or sixty days out — so the first person who knows a ticket is running down is the software, not the client's gatehouse.

The full list

Everything in communications.

Expiry alerts

Set against the credential, commonly thirty or sixty days ahead of the date. The administrative burden of reminding people to renew stops being a person's job and becomes a setting.

Mailbox

Email individuals or send in bulk, to your own people or to a client's contacts, from inside the system rather than from a personal account.

SMS

Broadcast the things that will not wait — a site change, a shutdown call, a credential that lapses this week — to people who are not at a desk.

Correspondence history

A complete record of what was sent, to whom and when, held against the person or the job it concerned. Auditable rather than recoverable.

Recipients from the register

The list is drawn from the records themselves, so who gets a message follows from who holds the credential or the job rather than from a contact list somebody maintains.

Roster schedules by email

Send people their own schedule from the job scheduler, so the roster reaches them in a form they can keep rather than a screenshot in a chat.

Bulk without the mail merge

One message to everybody affected by a change, assembled from the register rather than pasted together from a spreadsheet and a phone.

Evidence you told them

Where a lapse becomes a question later, the record shows the worker was notified and when — which is a different conversation from taking somebody's word for it.

The difference

What changes when the reminding is not a person's job.

How it usually goes

  • Chasing renewals is somebody's recurring calendar reminder.
  • The reminder goes to a group chat and everyone assumes someone else acted.
  • Proving you told a worker means going through a personal inbox.
  • The list of who to contact is rebuilt in a phone each time.
  • The one person who does the chasing takes leave.

With GO! Site Ready

  • The alert is set against the credential and fires on its own.
  • It is addressed to the person who has to book it, by name.
  • The message sits on the record with the date it was sent.
  • The list comes from the register, so it is right without being rebuilt.
  • It keeps running while they are away, because nobody is running it.

Questions about communications

We already remind people. Why does this need to be in the software?
Because reminding is only reliable while the person doing it is available and not busy, and the weeks it fails are the weeks you are flat out — which are the weeks a turnaround costs you most. Moving it into the system means the reminder fires on the credential's own date rather than on somebody remembering, and it keeps firing while they are on leave.
Does the worker get told, or just us?
Both, and it is worth setting it that way. The person who has to book a coal mine workers' health assessment is the one who needs the notice, and the coordinator who has to cover the shift needs it too. Sending only to the office means the office chases; sending to both means some of them are already booked before anyone chases.
Can we prove a worker was notified?
Yes. Messages are kept as correspondence history against the record they were sent from, with the date. That matters when a lapse turns into a question about who knew what — an inbox is a personal artefact, a record on the file is not.
Is SMS actually useful, or is email enough?
Email is right for detail and for the record. SMS is right for people who are on a site, in a truck or between jobs, which is most of a contracting company's workforce for most of the day. The two are not alternatives — a shutdown call goes by text and the confirmation goes by mail.
How far ahead should we set the alerts?
Far enough that the renewal is bookable. Thirty days is fine for an online refresher and nowhere near enough for a health assessment in regional Queensland, where appointment waits run to weeks. Set the window per credential to how long it actually takes to arrange, not to one number for everything.

See it against your own renewal windows.

Bring the credentials your people actually hold and we will set the alert windows to how long each one really takes to arrange.
