How to boost boiler cover sign-ups


A new platform has launched to help installers secure future revenue through service and repair work, as well as reward them for referring customers who sign up for boiler cover. ComparePAL is designed to increase the number of


homeowners who sign up for boiler cover to ensure their system works as efficiently as possible, while saving them money on future repairs and maintenance. For installers who refer a customer to ComparePAL,


they get the option to secure that customer and any associated repair, service and maintenance work. For every customer who buys a policy, the engineer who referred them also gets £40 credited into their account, which can be redeemed as cash or vouchers. If an engineer doesn’t wish to keep the customer and future service and repair work for any reason, there is an


option to pass the customer on to a network of trusted professionals. If any heating installers are looking for additional service and repair work, they can source this through the ComparePAL platform. Join ComparePAL by using the reader link below. ◼ phamnews.co.uk/924/17


Mobilise your workforce for savings


BORIS is the name of a mobile workforce management solution that allows businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to digitise and streamline their workforce management processes. The company claims that some companies could save up to £600,000 per year by adopting its solution. The platform consolidates various workforce management functions like operations, compliance and finance into a single digital system. This helps eliminate the inefficiencies and fragmentation that can occur when these critical


business processes are managed separately. Co-founder and owner of BORIS, Damien McKenna, comments: “Fragmentation is rife in businesses across the country, whether it comes down to how documents are stored, tasks are assigned, information is collected, timesheets are recorded…the list goes on. The question becomes why you would separate all these critical functions, when there are options for you to consolidate them all in one place, leaving you to focus on the main task at hand.” ◼ phamnews.co.uk/924/18
