HIGH Bonnybridge-based GBSS Civil Engineering has made a major investment in its plant fleet.
The civils and groundwork contractor has purchased four new site dumpers from Scot JCB. The business has also equipped its overall fleet with Chime, a software solution which provides management with access to a cloud-based back-office system with a full suite of tools and features including real-time site visibility and digital timesheets.
GBSS said that the use of Chime has been proven to enable construction customers to cut admin time by at least 50%, improve site safety, streamline processes, and keep their businesses audit-ready. The solution was founded by Roger Bradbury, the owner of Wren Construction.
“We are excited to announce this significant investment in new machinery and technology,” said GBSS MD David Owens. “Once again, we have found Scot JCB to be the ideal supplier for us. They know our business inside out, and as such, are our trusted partner in our on-going machinery needs and servicing requirements.
“Our new construction site dumpers, complete with cabs, offer many benefits, such as enhanced operator safety, comfort and productivity by providing protection from the elements, reducing noise and vibration.
“Furthermore, investing in Chime is enabling us to digitise our construction business. Chime is the market leader in digital timesheets, in real time site visibility software, and in digital health and safety documents.
“We will be able to see who, and what, is on site at any time of the day, with no need for any additional equipment. Our operatives are currently being trained on the system which they can use through a simple app on their phones or tablets. We’re looking forward to reaping the benefits of this technology, which also supports the health, safety and quality for all our staff, as we can store RAMS, checklists, and skills all in the one place, and move to a completely paperless system.”
Using Chime software can also enable companies to keep track on the servicing of equipment, letting them know ahead of time when essential services, and other maintenance checks, are due.
Aaron Powell, Chime MD, added, “We are delighted to welcome high profile GBSS Civil Engineering Ltd to the ever-growing Chime family. We are confident that they will very soon see the benefits and financial return of using our revolutionary software to improve attendance management, site safety, skills management, and all sorts of other concerns, which previously had been time-consuming to implement and manage.”
Connor Stirling, sales engineer at Scot JCB, commented, “It’s excellent news that GBSS Civil Engineering has chosen to upgrade its plant fleet with our latest JCB construction site dumpers. It’s always a pleasure working with the team at GBSS, and we really value their continued trust in Scot JCB to deliver reliable, high-performance machinery that meets the demands of their projects. We’re proud to support their growth and look forward to supplying them with new plant and aftercare support for many years to come.”
