Case Studies
Smart Cards
complete health & safety management
Maintaining and assuring the highest possible standards of Health & Safety on sites is one of the company’s greatest priorities and was the driver to find an effective system for use across its business – which involves station refurbishment, maintenance and civil engineering projects.

Shift planning
efficient, easy-to-use man time management software
The client asked Reference Point to develop a user-friendly solution that could
obtain data from central planning but present the tasks in a way that individual
shift managers would find easy to communicate to the workforce as part of a
daily or nightly Shift Plan.

Skill-safe
on and off-site competency management
Seriously committed to a well-trained and competent workforce, the client was clear on what it wanted from a competence management system and commissioned Reference Point to develop a bespoke on-line solution.
What was required was a simple, yet effective, solution to undertake a number of
key functions.

Bespoke surveys
a finely-tailored revision of one of our products
Easi-Quest is Reference Point’s own powerful software designed specifically for enabling the creation, data entry and analysis of questionnaires and surveys.
This version of Easi-Quest is unique – and comprises additional bespoke modules, including specific statistical analysis – having been carefully modified to meet the client’s specific consumer research requirements.

Bureau surveys
automated data-gathering from a large client base
The client was spending large sums annually on external market research agencies and was keen to explore the possibility of managing more of the process in-house.
Reference Point was approached to provide a survey tool in order to measure both the client’s representation, and also to obtain member feedback about the Union and its effectiveness.

Bespoke solutions
all-encompassing competency management and tracking
Although the company had been using training records software for years at head office, this no longer met its needs.
Reference Point was appointed to develop a single custom-built system that would manage all learning, induction, and training activities for thousands of construction staff.

Survey software
off-the-shelf survey software
Initial bespoke development to the Easi-Quest standard product enabled the client to develop and host its own surveys online with the organisation’s own branding.
An online survey allows respondents to access and complete the survey from
anywhere in the UK as well as abroad.

Hosted surveys
online training feedback services
Along with its simplicity, a key benefit of QMOL is that the questionnaires are all linked to OFSTED’s Common Inspection Framework; result data can be used to inform our client of their own progress in line with the framework, or any issues that affect their training programmes.
Result data can also be incorporated for reporting to OFSTED whilst undergoing inspection.

Training records
nvq tracking software
Our client first purchased software from us for tracking candidates’ progress towards completion of their qualifications in 1995.
Since then the system has been completely redeveloped, to move it from a DOS operating environment to Windows, as well as being updated numerous times. It is now used for tracking NVQs throughout the department, including management and front line staff.
