It is critical for a business to manage its properties efficiently.\u00a0 One of the best ways to get this done is using web based facility maintenance software<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Automation is a Big Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most important cost saving functions of facility maintenance software is automation:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When Preventive Maintenance is due<\/strong> \u2013 notifications to assigned workers and scheduling managers.<\/li>\n
  2. When Preventive Maintenance is completed<\/strong> \u2013 notifications to project and building managers.<\/li>\n
  3. When Service is requested<\/strong> \u2013 notifications to assigned workers.<\/li>\n
  4. When Service is completed<\/strong> \u2013 notifications to the initiator, project and building managers.<\/li>\n
  5. When Materials are running low<\/strong> \u2013 notifications to the project manager.<\/li>\n
  6. When Material costs may go over budget<\/strong> \u2013 instant notification before an order is placed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Protect Your Assets<\/strong><\/p>\n

    First tough question:\u00a0<\/strong> Do you currently have an accurate list of all maintained assets in your facility?\u00a0 If being totally honest, it is surprising how many facility managers would have to answer \u201cNo\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Detailed cost histories of the maintenance and repairs performed for all facility equipment is vital to your budget.\u00a0 Facility maintenance software tracks all of the money spent so you can make budgeting or repair\/replace decisions without much guess work.<\/p>\n

    Second tough question:<\/strong>\u00a0 Do you currently have an accurate list of all supplies, parts, and tools in your facility?\u00a0 Even more facility managers would have to answer \u201cNo\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Supplies, parts, and tools are valuable assets.\u00a0 While tracking your maintenance labor and 3rd party contractor costs, you could easily track your supplies, parts, tools, and even rentals with facility maintenance software.\u00a0 Having this information leads to lowered carrying costs and greater cash flow.<\/p>\n

    Safety and Security – Job #1<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Providing a safe and secure work environment is a top priority for any facility.\u00a0 Your facility maintenance software could be tracking all of the training provided to every maintenance staff member. \u00a0Clear work instructions, with Safety precautions clearly stated at the beginning of the work order, could be automatically provided for each preventive maintenance task you perform.<\/p>\n

    Any safety concerns that are found during maintenance or repairs can be documented and highlighted so you are made aware of potential hazards before it is too late.<\/p>\n

    Wasted Time = Wasted Money<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Time management is important for any business.\u00a0 Coordinating all of the activities required to keep your facility running smoothly is another potential savings.<\/p>\n

    The goal of any maintenance system is to avoid costly downtime due to a lack of labor, supplies, parts, or money.\u00a0 Preparing an automated schedule in advance helps to spread work load while providing a preview of materials needed and costs estimates for performing work.<\/p>\n

    The ability to optimize work load to correspond to peak demand can save a considerable amount of overtime while providing greater safety, security, and comfort for the people using your facility every day.<\/p>\n

    All Facilities Have Custom Needs<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Cookie cutter solutions cost you money.\u00a0 Every facility needs to be managed independently to optimize resource utilization.\u00a0 Facility maintenance software can help you analyze performance over time, zeroing in on opportunities to make your facility more efficient.\u00a0 This is especially true for groups of buildings or with buildings that are larger in size.<\/p>\n

    Throughout your facility, there are dollars waiting to be picked up and put to better use.\u00a0 Freeing your time to pursue these savings is the primary objective of facility maintenance software<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
