UK News

Burges Salmon logoBurges Salmon’s Innovation team has developed a Digital Compliance Tool in collaboration with Affinity Water, to support the company’s objective of ensuring compliance across the business.

 

Affinity Water is a UK supplier of drinking water to 3.8 million people in parts of London, East and Southeast England.  Under the requirements of the various regulators that control the water industry, companies including Affinity Water must demonstrate compliance in a verifiable way.

Needing to illustrate to regulators that effective processes are in place and are being employed, Affinity Water was challenged with improving the task of compliance reporting.  The Burges Salmon Innovation team worked together with Affinity Water to understand the issues, the current approach, and to develop a creative solution designed to support their compliance cycles.

Customisable and capable of being adapted to suit any business, the easy-to-use tool’s key features include: 

  • One-stop-shop: available 24/7, the secure platform provides a centralised home for compliance obligations, ensuring everyone is operating from the same information and can clearly identify their roles and responsibilities. 
  • Task management: automated task allocation, workflows and regular email reminders enables users to work collaboratively, action tasks and assign sub-tasks. 
  • Interactive dashboard: data visualisations offer the ability to monitor and manage compliance, access progress updates and drill down into areas where further action is required.   
  • Intelligent reporting: reporting capabilities means the entire compliance process can be audited, providing a clearer picture of overall compliance.
