Mango

Historical data tracking, real time information, Lag and Lead indicator tracking

Would be great if we can do the following:

*Enter a proper emergency plan and process into Mango instead of just uploading PDF.
*Have a area where visitors can be reported in Mango rather than PDF documents.
*Being able to enter meeting minutes/notes directly onto Mango rather than PDF uploads.

I have worked in QHSE consulting for over 20 years and have recommended Mango to a number of clients - particularly those trying to meet multiple certifications (QHSE) and legal requirements - it really makes compliance easier than any paper or intranet based approach.

Key reasons it works so well: a clean intuitive interface (we have been surprised how many shop-floor staff use it); the ability to assign compliance tasks and the ability to report and interrogate data (training, skills, incidents, task completion etc) any way you want within seconds (compared to paper/intranet systems - where a lot of time is spent entering data - then you can't really do anything with it).

The support is also a positive with local Mango partners ensuring the system is fully enabled and ready to use a level of support not offered by other providers. I make recommendations in the best interest of my clients - and am yet to see product that offers so much value at the price point. You really are getting a lot of the functionality of highly expensive systems.

Mango has become an integral part of our business.

Mango took us from a paper based system that was cumbersome and time consuming to an on-line electronic system that was Certified to AS4801 after just one audit. Since then the frequency of external audits has reduced from 6 monthly to annual saving time and money. For our business, one less external audit per/year means Mango pays for itself.

Since implementing Mango we have been able to refine and improve our system easily.

Our Procedures, documents and records are all in one place. Staff and Auditors find it easy to use.

The escalating email reminder system built in to Mango makes compliance simple and easy for Managers to get a snap shot of how we are tracking.

Mango could help new Clients by providing a range of sample documents and procedures as it did take us a few months to convert our paper based system over to Mango. If I were doing it again from scratch, I would have employed one of their experienced consultants to help with the transition.

Mango recently upgraded their "backroom" technology so they roll-out new features with a minimum of fuss. It is encouraging to see that the team at Mango are investing in their system and in-directly investing in our business too.
