As
a provider of market-leading, industrial compressors across New Zealand, Ash Air recognised the need to have a software system that
eliminated time-consuming paperwork, provided clear oversight and helped staff become as time efficient as possible.
Being environmentally and climate conscious in this day and age was another significant factor, and moving to a paper-less system was
a necessary step forward in hoping to do our bit for the planet.
That's where TimeTrak stepped in.
Previously, βeverything was manual β planners would print a document that would then go to the engineers and once the document was complete
after a job, it would get passed on to an administrator who would type it up and invoice the client,β says Ash Airβs accountant. βIt made
for a very, very slow process overall.β
βThe system needed to save time on the administration and engineering side of things, and it was also essential that it was something that
could be customised to suit the business,β they said.
βWith TimeTrak, the engineers now have tablets and can record their time as they go. They also have a preventative maintenance checklist
installed, and customers can sign documents then and there β which can be immediately emailed to the customer. And what used to be paperwork
is now all automated for admin staff, leaving them with more time to do important tasks.β
Not only has TimeTrak made Ash Airβs engineers and admin staff more efficient, but itβs also helped the business become more transparent.
βOur Head Office can now see exactly where jobs are at, and they can chase up invoices or follow up on any issues without having to go
through multiple people.β
Emma De Groot, Focusβ TimeTrak software consultant, says working with Ash Air was a collaborative
process, with useful feedback incorporated as they worked through the implementation process.
βWeβve added a lot to the software thatβs specific to Ash Air,β says Emma. βWe took on board their feedback, and then worked to find a
solution that they were happy with β now they have a much clearer overview of where their engineers have been and what jobs have been
completed.β
βFrom the start, they assessed our business model so that they could provide relevant recommendations,β says Ash Airβs accountant. βWe were
able to have our input into the TimeTrak software and they always listened and adjusted things where needed.β
βWeβve got staff who have used manual paper-based systems for 15+ years, and they have embraced TimeTrak. TimeTrak has changed our
business for the better.β

Even when designing a system for supplying production with compressed air or vacuum, oxygen, nitrogen or other gases, one thing is clear:
it will not work without maintenance. Compressed air filters and compressor lubricants have to be changed regularly, wear parts have to be
replaced so that the system runs reliably and safely for many years. Between 5 and 10 percent of the total investment amount has to be
calculated for the maintenance costs each year. Here we discuss the advantages of service agreements with Sunil, our Service specialised
Sales Engineer for Ash Air.
