In Touch Roadmarking Software System leads the way

Managing a successful road marking operation demands precise control of staff, vehicles and materials as well as a reliable and clear means of communication between the crew and the office based staff.

Daily Return Sheets are time consuming and expensive to process as well as providing numerous challenges such as illegible, incomplete and lost data which can often result in delays in invoicing and payment disputes.

Highways maintenance software specialists, In Touch Ltd, offer a tailor made system which manages the whole contracting process. The company’s web based Road Marking Software provides a multitude of functions, giving you complete control over your entire workforce and operations. Using a hand held portable device, the crew are issued their works orders via 3G GPRS mobile communications technology. All Chapter 8 road marking diagrams are contained on the system enabling the crew to always have instant access to key information. 

The system virtually eliminates any paperwork errors and greatly improves the speed and accuracy of data being fed back to the central office. Individual contract rates for each client can be fed into the system so that it automatically makes calculations for invoicing.

An optional camera facility on the crew’s device allows the capture and instant upload of photographic evidence that a job has been carried out. Using In Touch’s new technology the software automatically embeds the time, date and location into the image file, providing an enhanced level of transparency between contractor and client.

As the system also calculates the amount of thermoplastic used for each diagram or job, it can assist with stock management as well as making the most efficient use of materials.

The In Touch Road Marking system is also a versatile financial tool that frees up a considerable amount of management time by producing detailed profit and loss reports for every job and automatic calculation of salaries, taking into account shift patterns and bonus payments based on agreed contract rates. All data can be exported in multiple formats (including Excel) to populate existing office systems.

In Touch specialise in software systems for the highways maintenance industry and have a suite of fully integrated solutions for road marking, works orders, asset management, gully maintenance, winter maintenance, tracking and more.
