  3. Improving Efficiency With BRAD

Unique self-service online configuration tool, unrivalled in the market!

Enhancing efficiency, saving time, and minimising errors are priorities for many of us. Read our CEO Tom Cornell’s blog to learn how Bradbury Group is working to boost efficiency, benefiting each of its valued customers.

 

Time is your most valuable asset

Time is often considered our most valuable asset because it’s the one resource we can’t replenish – once time is spent, it’s gone forever. This makes it uniquely precious and irreplaceable.

We understand that your time is valuable. Therefore improving efficiency has always been an important priority for Bradbury. Efficiency isn’t just about doing things faster, but doing them better, even if they are tasks we already know how to do.

 

Complexity and time pressures

Reviewing a building’s floor plan and determining the ideal door type to meet fire, acoustic and security requirements can be complex. Doors are highly technical, and the market is tightly regulated, making compliance essential. Errors can happen, so it’s important to provide support for less experienced estimators.

Trade door installers have limited time and operate under tight deadlines. Whether in small or large businesses, they face intense pressure to find the best doors at the best price as quickly as possible, making a fast and simple solution essential.

When an architect specifies a particular door, our customers need to source that exact door and trust that the manufacturer provides a fully certified product. With fire and security standards becoming stricter, manufacturers face increasing pressure to ensure compliance. A single incident can rapidly shift regulations, requiring manufacturers to stay ahead of market trends and international influences.

It’s not uncommon for building contractors to make numerous revisions, such as requesting narrower doors, adding vision panels, or adjusting fire ratings. It’s common to receive ongoing modifications and constantly evolving specifications.

A more efficient method of quoting and specifying your doors

These are some of the reasons we have made a substantial investment in our second-generation online configurator. Building on the success of CPQ, which set a market standard upon its launch in 2018, this new tool streamlines the process for our clients, making it simpler to work with us and specify their door requirements.

When tasks are intricate and time is limited, there is less opportunity to thoroughly check details, coordinate effectively, or anticipate issues, increasing the likelihood of mistakes.

At London Build, we are set to unveil BRAD (Bradbury Realtime Automated Designer), our new self-service online configuration tool for Bradbury’s steel door products, allowing you to instantly specify, quote, customise and order.

A unique offering unrivalled in the market, BRAD is simple, straightforward, and innovative, ensuring the efficient delivery of compliant, high-quality doors tailored to your specifications.

With BRAD, we aim to cut through complexity, reduce errors, ensure compliance, stay ahead of regulations, upskill your estimating capability and importantly, meet your deadlines.

With a phased approach over the next 3 months, we are excited about training new customers on BRAD so you can effortlessly quote, modify and order your own doors.

In the meantime, you are welcome to telephone our quotation team for support on any quote requirements – call us on 01724 271999 or email enquiries@bradbury-group.com.
