Client: Omar Group, one of the UK's largest park home and holiday lodge manufacturers
Project type: Custom staff portal for everyday documents and policies
Timeline: Around three weeks
Tech used: Content-managed web portal on Silverstripe
Key result: Staff now have quick and easy access to important documents, which saves them time and keeps them up to date
Challenge
Omar staff used to rely on tools like Google Drive or SharePoint to access documents needed for their jobs.
Those work fine, but they're not easy or friendly for someone who just wants something quickly. In practice, people either couldn't find what they needed or knew it existed but couldn't remember where.
Theplan
The aim was one place that was genuinely easy for Omar staff to use, day in and day out.
Theproduct
Staff now have one friendly place to find whatever's relevant to their role, whether that's driver information, HR policies, or common procedures.
It runs on a content management system, so Omar can update documents, add new ones, and create new sections as things change, with no rebuild needed.
Results
Having quick, easy access to documents means that Omar staff don’t have to waste time trying to find important information. It makes them happier, saves the company time and money, and helps things run that bit more smoothly.
We had all the right information somewhere but staff struggled to find it or remember where it was. Now it's all in one place that's easy to use and makes life easier knowing where to find what you need.
