“Having overseen the implementation of CEMAR across a series of contracts the feedback from users has, without exception been extremely positive. Both client and contractors have found the tool to be intuitive and the enthusiasm witnessed following introductory training sessions has always been encouraging.

Time saving in report generation and general administration is significant. Combining this with the knowledge that CEMAR helps users stay in line with the provisions of the contract, thus reducing the risk of unforeseen claims the savings can be even greater.”

It offers excellent flexibility in that it can be accessed anywhere with internet capability, and I particularly like the email prompting (which eliminates the excuses factor!).
