SmartTask launches on G-Cloud 9 Digital Marketplace

SmartTask, the leading employee scheduling and remote workforce management solution, is now available on the G-Cloud 9 Digital Marketplace. The cloud-based software solution has been accepted onto the Crown Commercial Service’s latest procurement framework, launched in May this year, so public sector organisations can now take advantage of its proven capabilities to help performance manage staff and increase employee accountability.
 
“SmartTask is now established in the security, facilities management, university, care and mail sectors, so offers significant opportunities to public sector organisations that operate remote teams,” explains Paul Ridden, CEO of SmartTask. “Having been listed on the G-Cloud 9 Digital Marketplace, new and existing public sector customers will have greater access to our mobile computing solutions without a lengthy and costly procurement process.”
 
SmartTask enables organisations to better plan and manage their workers, so they are at the right place, at the right time. SmartTask combines intelligent rostering, live monitoring and integrated proof of attendance across both static and mobile teams, making it the ideal tool to improve control, enhance service levels and support duty of care to staff. It can also replace paper-based processes – such as audits, inspections and incident reporting – by providing an effective means of capturing and storing operational data.
 
“The public sector is under ever increasing pressure to provide more for less, reducing costs while at the same time improving service delivery. As a cloud-based workforce management solution, SmartTask can achieve a wide range of business and operational objectives at a fraction of the cost of other systems in the marketplace. In fact, the breadth of functionality available and the scalable cost model supports a highly flexible roll-out without a huge upfront investment,” concludes Ridden.
 
The G-cloud 9 framework helps public sector organisations to source cloud based services. By making the Digital Marketplace available to SME cloud providers, the Crown Commercial Service has helped drive competition and innovation in public sector ICT procurement, with the aim of providing enhanced services and better value to the taxpayer. It has already generated more than £1.5 billion in cumulative sales since its launch in 2012, including over £875 million with SMEs.
