CASE STUDYMelbourne HailstormMarch 2010

extreme weather in

were the huge storms

Rain, thunder, lightning and hail shut down Melbourne, flooding major centres and destroying much of what stood in it’s way.

First thing Sunday morning, our call centre was fully manned and handling the job orders coming in via phone and email.Managing Director, Adrian Grocott and Operations Manager, Reece van Vliet executed a plan to handle the workload that was too great for our Melbourne branch.By 2pm we had doubled our resources on the ground and had dispatched 6 tonne of stock from our head office in Sydney

More glaziers and Express Glass founder, Keith Grocott, departed for Melbourne.At head office a Storm Centre was set up and our phone system reprogrammed to handle the increased volume of calls and jobs. With a dedicated team entering, allocating and updating jobs, the day ran smoothly as the team worked long into the night again.One glazing team works well into the small hours of the morning ensuring an elderly couple’s windows are secure and she feels safe, before calling it a night.

The Storm Centre is now a well oiled machine responding quickly to new calls and giving updates to the insureds as well as Comminsure Management.Our automated systems, which include receiving electronic updates from our glaziers and auto-pricing of jobs proved invaluable in preventing any backlog occurring.

‘Real Time’ reporting

Service reports completed on site by our technicians are transmitted electronically to our head office via digital pen technology. All information from site including work undertaken, job status, times on site, client approval/sign off and safe work method statement are captured on “e-forms” within seconds of being completed, meaning our systems operate in real time. This technology creates an extremely fast and easy to work with job monitoring system that allows up to date communications to our clients.

Our safety management system permeates our entire organization and forms the basis of our culture, this impacts the behavior of our people everyday and ensures that best practice principals are followed.
