Problem  

TKS Kran Elektro has delivered bespoke crane, lifting and engineering solutions for over 50 years. Customers across a range of industries from offshore to farming trust the expert team to solve their unique challenges. Their services include everything from advisory to product design, installation, inspection and maintenance.  

Providing the highest quality in lifting and engineering means focusing on attention to detail. That includes the paperwork. Every product delivered and every inspection completed must be accompanied by the required documentation. Without the right paperwork, equipment can be deemed non-compliant, with both customers and TKS Kran Elektro being potentially liable should incidents occur.  

TKS Kran Elektro needed a solution that could provide essential documentation instantly and help customers keep track of them. Physical documentation delivery was complex, time consuming and had potential for errors. A new system would help ensure quality and peace of mind for TKS Kran Elektro and its customers.

Solution  

Over 20 years ago, TKS Kran Elektro began looking for tools that could simplify documentation for inspections and supply of lifting equipment. The company chose Onix to help bring structure to its documentation processes.  

Since then, much has changed, with Onix Work now working as a full digital solution that connects equipment suppliers, inspectors and owners in one place. The concept however remains the same – simplifying documentation processes for safety and efficiency.  

Today, TKS Kran Elektro uses Onix Inspect, Onix Work and Onix Express. With these tools, the TKS Kran Elektro team can conduct equipment inspection digitally on-site or in the workshop with simple customizable checklists on their handheld devices. When completed, documentation is automatically generated and sent to customers via Onix Express or shared directly in their Onix accounts. Documentation for new products can be shared in the same way.  

 

Result  

With streamlined digital processes, TKS Kran Elektro delivers documentation to its customers with speed and accuracy. Customers always have the documentation, such as inspections reports and user manuals, that they need to ensure compliance and worker safety.  

Both TKS Kran Elektro and its customers also benefit from access to digital records that give peace of mind. There is no longer a worry that documentation could be missing or untraceable. For TKS Kran Elektro, this means that standards are always maintained to the highest level, both for its products and services and for its compliance and admin.  

Kjetil Tengesdal, Managing Director at TKS Kran Elektro, reflected on the importance of good documentation that is consistent over time: 

“It’s something we hope we never have to dig back up and use because an accident has happened, but if it has sadly happened, it’s good to know that we will always have everything in order.”

The company holds quality at the top of mind and was an early adopter of digital processes. In fact, TKS Kran Elektro is one of Onix’s oldest customers, having adopted Onix in 2005. Since then, the team has seen many changes and developments that have helped realize the standardized yet customizable system that Onix is today.  

TKS Kran Elektro is now an Onix partner that prides itself in having the best tool for the job. The company helps support customers to develop their documentation and equipment processes. It offers training and setup of Onix solutions for its customers that can help them gain peace of mind and control over their documentation.
