Playsafe York City

York City Council is utilizing PlaySafe’s complete Asset Management system to facilitate the Inspecting of their Parks and Playgrounds. By using PlaySafe, York can paperlessly complete any type of Inspection for their Playground and Tree Sites, as well as set Tasks, Assign Contractors and Plot Assets all from the Mobile Application. Filling in this information will enable PlaySafe to provide a more accurate picture of the Asset Maintenance required across the City, and facilitate a more in-depth plan of action for the future.

York City Council uses PlaySafe to Inspect, Manage and Maintain more than just Parks and Playgrounds. York have more recently expanded their license to include Water Safety and Cemeteries. Using the information gathered by PlaySafe, York City Council can track installations, maintenance checks, and budgetary costs. The use of PlaySafe also reduces the risk of losing Inspection paperwork as the system is entirely paperless. The Council will also use the data collected in PlaySafe to defend against any claims that may be made.

Testimonials

The PlaySafe system is the perfect tool for Inspecting and reporting on the Parks, Playgrounds and Open Spaces.

John Hopkins
Based on Worcester’s need for specific Findings and Tasks to be associated with with Trees, PSS worked alongside the Council to include the content they needed.

Public Sector Software on working with Worcester
"PlaySafe are single-handedly changing the face of quality monitoring in the grounds maintenance sector, the increased use of information technology at home has impacted on our work in a positive way improving our productivity and our customer relationships through innovation. G. S will continue to seek innovative partners to drive forward the performance of our industry and offer customers an affordable usable technological solution.”

Adrian Wickham
“This has really helped in managing beach car parks, local halls, recreation facilities and land. I use only a small fraction of the features available but for an officer whose needs are to handle variety, rather than quantity of the same thing, it simplifies so much.”

David Menday
"The system provides a paperless record of all inspections carried out. It is a great asset management tool that assists with the production of planned maintenance schedules and much more. There is a good audit trail which is required should a claim for injury arise”

Rushden Town Council
“It is very easy to find time to complain, pick holes and tell someone you are not happy with their services, but we never make the same allowances to say thank you or to say we appreciate what has been done. Your system is not one of the best, it is the best and a joy to use.”

Jennie Judd
"You had the insight to listen to people from the doing end, I like to drive software rather than it drive me, this has made PlaySafe a very practical and easy to use product if you choose to use it such."

Andy Ford
"On the iPad it's the best piece of software I've ever used.”

John Millard
“With so many play areas and records that have to be kept for over 20 years PlaySafe has saved paper, storage and time required to search for records. Not only that, it has made staff accountable and the play areas safer and a more attractive place to be. A versatile tool that can be used by all personnel at a level they are comfortable with which produces vital information for the operation of our 500 play sites, an important part of our landscape accountability."

M.K City Council
“We have recently started using PlaySafe for logging all of our tree stock. Our inspectors using the mobiles carry out inspections of the trees to ensure that they are healthy and safe. Any arboriculture work required on the tree will be 'tasked' at the same time. We have found the software to be very user friendly; and it's always good to know that there is a fast response from PlaySafe if we need a helping hand!”

Andy Frost
“Enables a concise record of inspection / maintenance to be kept, which is an invaluable asset when dealing with liability claims.”

John Edmondson
“We managed our Play Site Inspections and Maintenance using PlaySafe and have found it to be a much improved management tool. PlaySafe is an excellent tool with a wide range of functions that enable us to record inspections and maintenance and to monitor budgets."

Peter Jones
"PSS has been one of the highlights of doing this job and I have enjoyed and looked forward to our meetings."
