Template-Based Reporting in Fire Protection: Powered by dox42 and Business Central

The BVS – Fire Prevention Agency for Upper Austria (Brandverhütungsstelle für Oberösterreich) and its subsidiaries together form the BVS Group. Their primary mission is to prevent fires and minimize their impact when they occur.

In Upper Austria, BVS fulfills its statutory mandate in accordance with § 20 of the Upper Austrian Fire and Safety Police Act. Its subsidiaries complement this work by offering a wide range of specialized services across Austria and internationally.

These services include fire resistance testing of construction products, final inspections and audits of technical fire protection systems, development of comprehensive fire safety concepts, and the installation of lightning protection systems.

Across the BVS Group, employees generate a variety of critical documents for clients—such as reports for fire cause investigations, fire protection plans, and technical inspection reports.

With dox42, we can automatically populate our document templates using core data already stored in our IT systems—such as customer, project, and building information. This significantly reduces errors and greatly streamlines the document creation process.

Currently, we primarily integrate data from Microsoft Business Central, while also leveraging additional sources such as Microsoft SharePoint.

Thanks to the close and effective collaboration with the dox42 team, even complex automation challenges have been implemented swiftly and professionally.
