Dashboards are a great way to communicate information to the organization or to a group of users as needed. So, for example, you know, we have a dashboard that will tell us when a change order is at a certain status that control needs to handle.



[00:17 - 00:42]
So everything's been approved and it alerts document control that implementation is required. And so we have a dashboard that collects all change orders that are at approved but not implemented status. And so it's really easy for our document control person to open up Unifize. And the first thing up on their homepage is kind of a list of things that aren't implemented yet that are ready to be implemented.



[00:42 - 01:13]
You know, they're rather than going to the whole list of change orders and trying to say, okay, what do I need to look at What's not ready, what's fully approved, what's not fully approved? We're able to filter out and create a dashboard to make it really easy to find what we need And so being able to have Unifize really unify all the information and get the collaboration, You're able to say, this is our single source of truth and this is where you have, you know, all the information that you need.

But what we've known from what I experience was, is we were able to get there with the system. We still there with the system. The system has what is needed to provide us what we're looking for, because every company, admittedly, is trying to get compliant. If we educate people, if we get people the education that they need and to get over the fear factor, I think 90% of those things can be resolved because most people will go to what they're most familiar with.What I worked with from a different company, but they're not willing to sit down and look at what the demographics are saying. People are into social media now. People are moving fast into fast paced world. But technologies are still antiquated. So there's a disconnect here, right? So while we're moving at a fast pace at home with dragging at work, so why can't we continue that speed while we at work?If your supplier has issues and you're not informed on time, you want to have an alternate supplier in place. If your suppliers are not qualified, you may not know that that needs to happen. And so when you have an integrated system that speaks to itself and is giving you all this data, you literally have the pulse of the organization in your hands as an executive at a money bound access.
