Wide-format print and signage software specialist Vism has announced updates to its installation job management software. The Spring 23 software update includes new features on both its web-based dashboard, used by project and installation managers to schedule and manage installations, and its mobile apps for installers and subcontractors to receive and report back on jobs.
A new drag-and-drop calendar helps manage installers’ schedules with users able to assign jobs, change dates and times or reallocate work to a different crew, either in-house or external, in a single movement, whilst everybody that needs to know is kept up to date with instant notifications.
Those running large campaigns such as retail graphics rollouts and signage refresh programmes can make use of a new campaign builder, which allows users drop a spreadsheet with jobs into the system, book individual visits for each one, share important documentation, and allocate groups of jobs to installers within a few minutes.
For those already with an MIS or ERP system, Vism’s new API eliminates the double-entry of data by allowing them to connect the two systems and send installation jobs directly to Vism, whilst its Zapier integration allows the user to connect Vism with more than 5,000 other tools used elsewhere in their business.
A refresh of the company’s mobile apps for both installers and project managers means PMs can now receive completion photos and check and approve the job directly from their phone before a crew has even left the site.
The API will be made available to all users at the end of May, whilst all other updates are already live for existing users and available for others to try out free for 30 days in the trial the company offers via their website.
