Digital handover is the process of transferring responsibility, information, and status between people or teams using digital tools instead of verbal updates or paper notes. It is commonly used during shift changes, maintenance activities, project transitions, and site handovers. A good digital handover ensures that critical information is not lost, misunderstood, or delayed when responsibility changes.
Traditional handovers often rely on conversations, emails, or handwritten notes. This creates risk because information can be forgotten, misinterpreted, or unavailable when needed. They improve continuity by providing a clear, structured record of what has happened, what is still outstanding, and what needs attention next.
Digital handovers also support accountability. When information is recorded and time-stamped, organisations can trace decisions and actions more easily. This is especially important in safety-critical and regulated environments where continuity is essential.
How this applies to WorkfloPlus
WorkfloPlus enables digital handovers by capturing live task status, evidence, and notes during work execution. Incoming workers can instantly see what has been completed, what is in progress, and any issues that need attention. This removes guesswork, reduces delays, and ensures continuity across shifts, teams, and sites.
