London City Airport has chosen a specially preconfigured application of GEMsoft7’s Permit to Work software, P2W, to help manage and control the movement and activities of contractors working at the airport.

“P2W was developed from the outset to be configured by its users”, said Phil McKell, MD of GEMsoft7, “but it became clear that management at London City Airport were looking for a plug and play approach, so we created a version of P2W that can be up and running very quickly in an airport environment.”

London City joins BAA Stansted and Dublin Airport Authority on GEMsoft7’s Airport Operator customer list. “We wanted a system that we could implement and use straight away,” said Gill Squires, Head of Property Services at the Airport. “With our input and the expertise GEMsoft7 already has in working with the airport sector we have put together an airport specific set of permit types and authorisation procedures which P2W will help to automate.”

GEMsoft7 Ltd, creators of electronic Permit to Work and contractor management system P2W, today added another airport operator to their client list with the announcement of a new major contract win with Dublin Airport Authority, (DAA).

One of the ten busiest airports in Europe, Dublin is expecting to increase passenger throughput to 35 million by the year 2020. To support this growth DAA has embarked on a €2 bn investment programme which will see the upgrading of the customer check in area, a new boarding gate and a further new terminal, set to open in 2010.

GEMsoft7 today announced an important contract win with their first customer from the Pharmaceuticals sector, Napp UK. Napp has chosen GEMsoft7’s electronic Permit to Work and Contractor Management system, P2W, to help manage the health and safety of its staff and contractors.

Based at the prestigious Cambridge Science Park, Napp employs more than 800 staff who develop some of the world’s most vital pain relief medicine. Napp’s four sites operate using best practice pharmaceutical development and manufacturing standards and this principle is reflected in the management of the health and safety of workers while on site.

GEMsoft7, the Glasgow based software development company, has been awarded a new contract by international energy services company, Wood Group Engineering (North Sea) Ltd., to provide P2W, GEMsoft7’s electronic Permit to Work Management system to support the operation and maintenance of an innovative floating oil production facility in the North Sea Chestnut Oil Field.
