Streamlining Fire Door Compliance with CCS
Client: Council
​
Sector: Social Housing​
Challenge: Ensuring Fire Door Compliance and Audit Readiness
One of the largest councils in the UK was facing a significant challenge in maintaining comprehensive records of their fire door stock for compliance and future auditing purposes. They needed a robust system that could simplify the tracking process and ensure the fire doors were up to code for both safety and inspection requirements.
​
"We were researching the best possible way of collating information on our fire door stock for compliance and future auditing," says the Area Support Manager. "Contactless Check Solutions (CCS) resolved all our requirements".
​
Why CCS Stood Out
The council embarked on an extensive procurement process, exploring several options, including QR readers and microchip-based systems. However, none of these solutions met the council’s needs for a secure, easy-to-use system until they discovered CCS.
​
"The system was easy to navigate, and the functionality was perfect for tradespeople to use. It met all our requirements during an intense procurement process".
​
A key turning point came when a staff member attended an event at Birmingham’s NEC and had the opportunity to learn more about CCS. The system’s robust security features, combined with the simplicity of the app and portal, immediately stood out.
Impact
Since implementing CCS, the council has seen significant improvements across multiple areas:
​
50% increase in productivity: The streamlined process allows for quicker data collection and updates.
Compliance: CCS ensures that all housing stock meets the required safety standards, making it easier to maintain compliance.
Accurate stock information: The system has collated all relevant housing stock data, enabling seamless management and oversight.
Improved auditing: The council now conducts regular inspections with ease, using the system to audit and track fire door conditions.
Early detection of damaged stock: Ensures they are repaired or replaced promptly, further enhancing safety.
Why Recommend CCS
For the team, the decision to recommend CCS to other organisations is clear.
​
"Contactless Check Solutions meets all the housing compliance requirements, which is why I’ve recommended it to many companies".
​
Conclusion
CCS has not only solved their fire door compliance challenges, but also significantly improved their productivity and audit processes. The system’s ease of use and robust features make it a trusted solution for any organisation looking to streamline fire door compliance and ensure safety
