Case Study
First Aid Inventory App
Carton Plast Group are a global leader in the field of processing and servicing of reusable layer pads, used in the transportation of glass containers and cans for the food and beverage industry. Here’s how we helped them digitise their strict auditing process with a First Aid Inventory Power App.
The Challenge from CPL
Working with the Production Manager, our team created a mobile-friendly Power App with a checklist of items included in every First Aid box on CP’s premises, organised by location. All checkpoints needed to be completed and the applicable dates entered before a submission can be allowed.
Expiration dates are stored until the item needs to be replaced. CP can administer the first aid box items within SharePoint, and can change their locations if needed.

The challenge from CPL
Carton Plast’s (CP) First Aid boxes are positioned at various locations around their facility. To ensure compliance is maintained, it is necessary to inspect each of the boxes regularly to ensure it’s contents are in date and within the correct box (e.g. eyewash bottles).
A monthly First Aid check is undertaken by the Production Manager onsite, who emptied each box, recorded the date on each item and restocked the items when necessary. Each month, this information was recorded on paper and repeated eight times across the site, taking several hours of the Production Managers’ time to complete.
At the end of each inspection, the completed paperwork was filed away in a drawer, giving CP no visibility of the data. Given it was a reactive process, there was the opportunity for an item to be used, before the Production Manager had a chance to replace it, potentially leading to serious consequences.

“Wow! For a first go at collaborating with a software company to write an app – this was amazing: Nick, Phil, Mark, and Leighton were focussed from the very beginning on ensuring we had the best possible experience – and everything just flowed from that.
In just 2 weeks, we have an app that is exactly what we’d hoped for – top marks to Nimbitech.”
