Simplifying complex processes to keep the community safe
The New Zealand Fire Service (NZFS) responds to emergencies and dedicates a significant amount of resources to preventing fires through education programs, community outreach efforts, and working with building owners.
The organization relied on paper-based processes that had become essential to the operation of NZFS. Documents and essential data were routed by hand for input and approvals, then stored in a wide range of places.
“There was a lack of information flow between people and processes,” says Lesley Jones, senior business analyst and project manager. “Valuable information could be missed, and often, we could not confirm that the data we had was the most current.”
To resolve these issues, NZFS turned to Nintex Advanced Workflow for automation solutions.
An enhanced level of service
By automating their highly complex, time-consuming workflows and providing a highly organized central workflow system, NZFS has enhanced the level of service it delivers to the community.
“Using Nintex Workflow has greatly improved our reputation with other government agencies. The standard of the reports we produce and the level of fire mitigation is so much higher than it was previously. Not only are we delivering a better level of service, we are now able to set baselines that allow us to quantify and measure certain service levels for the first time,” says Jones.
