We wouldn’t be able to function without Nomio. It’s something that we rely on on a daily basis. It is our superpower in meetings, without a doubt. I would be lost without Nomio now. Absolutely would be lost.

We have infrastructure: hospitals, libraries, schools. And we manage those on behalf of our clients, local authorities and trusts. A world before Nomio was very time consuming. If a debate arose within a contract meeting or a board meeting regarding obligations and responsibilities, you would have to look for that information after the meeting, where you would lose momentum. It would be a long list and you’d think: ‘I need to schedule loads of time.’

The heartache of knowing that you’ve got to go and review your contracts in photocopies of PDFs that are not searchable. The documents can be hundreds of pages long, so it made it very cumbersome. It’s like trying to find a needle in the haystack. When Nomio reached out to us via LinkedIn, I grabbed it by the horns. We were just blown away about what it could do. The conversion of documents, the speed to get new documents into the system is just phenomenal.

You can go into the search engine, I can type in anything I want. And then it’ll take you to the clause, and you can see all the wording. It provides you with what you need at your fingertips extremely quickly. Our only concern at the time was that it was very young. That soon became more of a positive because we were able to ask for various enhancements to the system. And then the next thing, we blink, and it’s like our request, it’s kind of appeared and it’s happened.

Tabitha is probably my direct link that I use on a regular basis. You send her something and it’s done in a flash. She is my superhero. We had a spreadsheet at the beginning of our wishlist. Within six months, that list had gone down from thirty to two or three things. And that’s what we need in our fast-paced turning business. Nomio came with a timeline already built in, but the feature didn’t give us enough oversight from a managerial perspective.

Nomio were able to develop a viewing platform where we could see all of the obligations across all of our projects. You know, it stops us having to look through the various documents to try and work out, you know, the obligations that are due. Everything’s there in one place. You can look at anybody’s project, you can search for anything in there. And it gives you all of the obligations assigned to you.

Nomio allows you to be proactive and, like, plan what you need to do in order to meet those obligations. We’re then able to report that into the board of directors, and they’re comfortable with the job we’re doing. And it means a lot to Kajima to be compliant. The cost of noncompliance within our business is default. The cost of default is exponential. Nomio provides us with that reassurance, and it’s played a huge part in the way that we operate as a business, and demonstrate compliance across our projects.

We had a project in Sheffield that was under extreme duress. It had massive fire compartmentation issues. The part that Nomio played, it was extremely pivotal in the speed in which we were able to deliver information to our legal team. It facilitated a resolution out of court. I can’t imagine what it would have been like without Nomio, for both the asset managers and the project officers, because it’s something that we rely on on a daily basis.

I would be lost without Nomio now. Absolutely would be lost. We’ve got our bibles at our fingertips when we’re in board meetings and contract meetings with our clients. It makes me look really good in a meeting, in that I can give them an answer straightaway. It is our superpower in meetings, without a doubt. The biggest thing for me, personally, is the time that we’re saving. My team have hours and hours of researching through PDFs back to focus on other strategic things within the portfolio.

We wouldn’t be able to function without Nomio. I would highly recommend it. To not have it, I think, would be a mistake.
