Does switching chemical management systems feel complicated? You’re not alone.
Many companies continue using outdated systems that may cover the basic needs but fail to take advantage of modern technological developments and digitalisation. Technology has advanced significantly in recent years, and a modern system can offer several important benefits.
In this article, Kim Johansson, Sales Manager at Intersolia, shares insights into why many organisations still hold on to outdated systems, and how surprisingly easy it can be to switch to a smarter solution.
Make Risk Assessments Easier with the Right Chemical Management System
An outdated system makes risk assessments of chemical products and processes unnecessarily time-consuming and inefficient. If information is not updated automatically, assessments may also be based on outdated data, which can lead to incorrect decisions. Many older systems also require extensive knowledge and experience, creating a dependency on specific individuals within the organisation.
With a modern digital risk assessment and chemical management system like iChemistry, these challenges are eliminated. By providing continuous access to updated Safety Data Sheet information, your health and safety work becomes more efficient, risks are reduced and you can ensure full compliance with legal requirements.
Why Do So Many Companies Stay with Old Systems?
Many companies hesitate to switch chemical management systems because the process can seem time-consuming and expensive. Implementing a new system naturally requires time and commitment from employees, which can sometimes lead to resistance to change.
Another challenge is data transfer or migrating information from the old system. If the data formats don’t match, the transition can become difficult. But this is where our expertise comes in. We have carried out this process hundreds of times and are confident we can support you as well.
In reality, switching chemical management systems doesn’t need to be complicated or costly — as long as you choose the right solution.
