A year ago, we launched Opus Compliance Cloud – our bespoke health, safety, and HR management platform designed specifically for the builders' merchant sector. Today, we're celebrating its first birthday, and reflecting on what's been a remarkable first twelve months.
Since launch, Opus Compliance Cloud has been adopted by businesses across the builders' merchant sector to simplify and streamline their compliance management. The platform has been continuously developed in response to customer feedback, with a range of new features and enhancements introduced over the past year.
Commenting on the milestone, Managing Director Alistair Craig said:
"We're incredibly proud of what Opus Compliance Cloud has achieved in its first year. It was built to solve a real problem – to make health, safety, and HR compliance simpler, more efficient, and more accessible for builders' merchants – and the response from our customers has been phenomenal."
We'd like to thank all of our customers for their support and feedback over the past year. We look forward to continuing to innovate and develop the platform in the months and years ahead.
