Paper to Digital Health and Safety Systems in NZ with Storm MacDonald and David Masters

Storm MacDonald and David Masters from SiteApp Pro spend their time with health and safety consultants and their clients. They share what practitioners are asking for as businesses move from paper to digital safety systems.

Storm is Head of Sales and has been with SiteApp Pro for around five years. David is Strategic Partnerships Manager and works with the consultants who use the app with their own clients. We cover what in-person site visits taught them, how prequalification can draw on data a business already holds, the equipment module and how to bring a reluctant team with you when the paper goes.

What we cover in this episode

  • What changes when software people sit in on toolbox talks
  • The frustrations practitioners raise most often
  • Prequalification built from your own data
  • Customer-led development and being willing to fail fast
  • Moving a team from "we've always done it this way" to buy-in
  • How digital records show on the day that a form wasn't done
  • What AI could do for monthly board reporting
