At the core of Opus is the concept of a job. Each job consists of a checklist, which is further broken down into various questions. These questions serve as capture points, with different types determining the specific input required.
- Text inputs for detailed descriptions or comments
- Numeric inputs for quantities or measurements
- Multiple-choice questions for predefined options
- Date/time inputs for scheduling or logging events
- File uploads for attaching relevant documents or images
- Photos for visual documentation
- Barcode scanning for quick and accurate item identification
- Stock movements, counts, verification, and warranties** for managing inventory and ensuring accuracy
- Signatures for authorisation and verification purposes
- Calculations for automatic computation based on inputs
- Rating and scoring for assessments and evaluations
A job is captured by an operator, usually on mobile or web platforms. The data is then synchronized to the cloud, ensuring it is up-to-date and accessible. Web users or administrators can access this data based on their user roles, allowing for efficient management and oversight.
The versatility of the system allows each job to be associated with various entities, such as:
- Site: Specific locations where tasks are performed
- Item: This can include assets, staff, vehicles, PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), stock, or any other itemised lists
- User: Other users within the system who may need to be referenced or involved in the job (context users)
This flexible structure ensures that OPUS can adapt to a wide range of operational needs, providing a robust digital platform for managing tasks, tracking progress, and ensuring compliance in various business environments. OPUS's flexible structure allows it to easily adjust to a variety of operational requirements, making it a reliable digital platform for handling tasks, monitoring advancements, and guaranteeing adherence to regulations across different business settings.
