Exceptional Results & Unmatched Customer Experience – A Lost Property Solution That Stands Out.

Developed in partnership with EMR and tailored for the rail sector, Foundit streamlines lost property management from day one. By automating manual tasks, it increases the number of items returned to customers, reduces administrative costs, and frees staff to work more efficiently—delivering a smoother, more satisfying experience for passengers.

The Leading Fault-Finding Solution Available Today

GTR had been successfully using our SQR system, but periodic audits revealed a concerning trend—assets that had previously passed checks were failing between inspections. They sought a smarter, more responsive solution that could address these issues without increasing resource costs.

Over the past 15 years, our Audits and Assessments solution has grown into one of the most comprehensive and adaptable systems on the market. It now supports nearly every type of audit our clients need, including station audits and fire assessments.

Streamline Audits with Our Intuitive Mobile App and Web Portal

PGI is an ideal solution for organisations working within tight budgets, yet seeking high-quality data from an advanced system.

With auditors requiring no training and offering comprehensive dashboards and analytics, the PGI system is already deployed by TOCs and fully compliant with DfT standards.

We specialise in providing mobile and web portal solutions tailored for Train Operating Companies (TOCs).

Over the past five years, our approach has been to:

– Collaborate closely with TOCs as a trusted partner

– Integrate seamlessly with their teams

– Apply our expertise to complement their knowledge and requirements

– Avoid charging full development costs, as each solution benefits multiple TOCs

– Provide ongoing support and assistance long after project completion

For more than 13 years, ANT has worked in close partnership with Council Health & Safety teams to protect both employees and the public.

Our Accident Solution is a trusted and proven system widely used by Councils. Its user-friendly, dynamic design helps optimise workflow while ensuring accurate and efficient data collection.

For Councils, the safety and wellbeing of staff and the public are paramount. Effectively tracking and managing incidents and near misses is a key component of their overall safety strategy.

Unfortunately, abuse has become a widespread issue in today’s workplace, affecting employees either briefly or over extended periods, and can lead to stress and discomfort if not properly addressed.

We regularly speak with our Council clients and understand that this is an increasingly common challenge that poses a real threat to staff wellbeing.

In 2022/23, 1.8 million UK workers reported work-related ill health, including 875,000 cases of stress, depression, or anxiety. Beyond being a health concern, this has significant economic consequences: 35.2 million working days were lost last year due to work-related illness and injury, with stress a major contributor.

For councils, these numbers are particularly worrying. Limited budgets and high public service demands mean that every lost day affects community outcomes. Stress-related absences can cause delays, reduce service quality, and increase pressure on remaining staff.

Health and safety training is essential, yet hidden gaps can still put staff at risk. A brief H&S Procedure Check enables councils to identify weaknesses—such as in manual handling—so they can take proactive steps to prevent accidents, safeguard employees, and maintain compliance.

Risk isn’t limited to high-hazard sites—outdated or unmonitored procedures can expose councils to liability anywhere. A simple three-minute Risk Check uncovers hidden risks, enhances compliance, and helps safeguard both staff and the public.

Today’s focus isn’t just on protecting employees—it’s about engaging them in the safety process. Our Safety Ideas approach, initially developed for rail companies, arose because even with strong H&S teams and large workforces, accidents involving staff and the public still happened. During a strategy session, we introduced Safety Ideas to empower frontline employees—those walking through stations and trains daily—to share their insights and contribute practical safety suggestions.

Over the past 15 years, our Audit and Assessment solution has grown into one of the most comprehensive and adaptable systems available. It now supports nearly every type of audit clients require, including Fire Risk Assessments, School Audits, School Self-Audits, and Corporate Audits.

Councils face ongoing pressure to reduce costs while increasing both the volume and quality of information to support sound decision-making.

In response to past workforce reductions, we developed a collaborative model where Head Teachers complete their own audits, which are then verified by the streamlined council team. This efficient approach has proven effective and continues to deliver strong results today.

Our lost property system, originally developed for the rail industry, was designed to handle high-volume usage with hundreds of employees accessing it via mobile devices. Understanding that councils operate differently—with fewer lost property cases and limited access to council-issued mobiles—we’ve adapted the solution to better fit their environment.

Managers with mobile devices can still access the system on the go, but it’s primarily optimised for seamless PC use, making it accessible to all staff. Items can be digitally logged within minutes and stored in the usual location, eliminating the need for paper forms and manual filing.

Councils have been key to our growth over the years, which is why we’ve not only reduced our prices but are also offering even greater discounts on our packages.

Working with councils, we’ve seen budgets cut, leaving employees stretched while trying to maintain the same workload.

Our solutions are designed to be user-friendly and to automate routine tasks, freeing staff to focus on more important work. By saving time, councils can better understand issues through graphical analysis and implement effective solutions.
