Logistics FM needs traceable safety records

Between safety checks, loading dock inspections and delivery zone walkthroughs, documentation often breaks down. Paper on site helps capture – not when evaluating across halls and sites. Digital protocols with timestamp, responsible person and media are the basis for compliance and fast escalation.
