My Jobs: New App for Bureau Veritas Surveyors
The latest digital development launched by Bureau Veritas (BV) supports in-service surveyors with a new mobile app for class and statutory surveys.
My Jobs is a mobile application developed by the Marine & Offshore division of BV to facilitate the survey process from end to end. BV’s ships in service surveyors are now able to access up to date information on mobile devices anytime and anywhere. Over 20 percent of BV surveyors are now using the My Jobs mobile app to carry out live reporting on the spot – and usage is growing. The core functionality of the app is a smart and digital checklist, as well as a range of other documents, including the request for survey.
My Jobs benefits both Bureau Veritas surveyors and clients enabling significant time savings and improvements in reporting. Before and during a survey documents can be reviewed, defining the scope of the survey and enabling live reporting. My Jobs reduces paper processing on-board by introducing digital documents validated by electronic signature on a mobile device.
“Digital is transforming our world and changing the way we work,” said Philippe Donche-Gay, President, Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore. “We are evolving with our clients and innovating to support the safety and performance of their assets and operations.”
My Jobs was designed with the involvement of 30 Bureau Veritas surveyors around the world, and the first verison is now available worldwide following a successful pilot phase. BV said its surveyors are welcoming its functionality as well as the positive impact and impression on clients.
The My Jobs mobile application is the latest of an expanding digital platform of initiatives launched by BV in the last year. These initiatives are improving internal efficiency across BV’s network and service delivery to clients. My VeriSTAR, launched in June 2016, is an app for clients worldwide providing detailed vessel information and documents. Specifically: survey reports, a visual survey planner and a timeline view of activities. These enable close monitoring of vessels supported by customizable and push notifications. Clients can locate their vessels in real-time, request surveys, audits and class attestations directly on their mobile, preview and access the latest class and statutory news, search for – and easily contact BV personnel or offices – and access BV fleet statistics.
