The problem
Gallagher Group has grown significantly over the years, and with a workforce of approximately 400, it was becoming increasingly challenging to maintain all paperwork involved in a manual timesheet process. Data was not recorded properly and a huge amount of time spent on phone calls and administrative work related to chasing and managing these timesheets each week was adding up to significant amounts of money. Alongside this, Gallagher Group were looking at ways to improve communication between operatives on site, Head Office, and their two aggregates quarries. They were looking for a solution where they could quickly and efficiently push out key health & safety documents and important information for operatives to read and sign.
“The deployment of Chime within Gallagher Group has lead to instant cost savings and significant efficiency improvements across the business.”

Measurable impact
1 | Streamlined Timesheet Process
Chime has meant an end to weekly phone calls and paper timesheets. The approval system set up for Gallagher Group means that operatives sign in and out on the Chime App, this logs their hours automatically and managers can then approve hours either daily or weekly at a time that suits them. No need to ever go back to paper time sheets!
2 | Digitally signed H&S Documents
Using Chime’s document functionality, Gallagher Group has been able to quickly push out essential site documents to their workforce to read and sign directly from Chime before they sign-in/out each day. Documents include Toolbox Talks, Covid Declarations, Site Briefings and important Company Communications. As Chime is a cloud-based platform, they have a full audit trail of all operatives that have signed the documentation and can generate a report directly from the platform at any time.
3 | Improved H&S on Site
Chime enables Gallagher Group managers to see which operatives are on-site in real-time and what skills and certificates they have. For example, if they need to do a fire drill practice on site - they can quickly pull up a list of everyone on site and accurately account for them. It has proved far quicker and more efficient than a paper list from the past.
4 | HR Functionality
Each Gallagher Group operative has their own passport generated on the platform and it can be viewed and edited on the phone. All personal details can be saved and any relevant documentation attached to their passport. This has again, saved time for their administrative staff and streamed-lined processes. All details are stored securely with permissions set up to only allow the authorised personnel to view the information.
5 | Skills Management
Chime allows Gallagher Group to have a live view of all skills active across each of their sites. Viewed on the app, they are able to verify tickets and qualifications for every operative such as CSCS cards, SSSTS, SMSTS, and First Aid.
