We had a tremendous turnout for our Facilities Management Webinar with over 100 attendees, spread over 3 different continents. Thank you for your participation!  During this hour long education session our panel of experts discussed the latest trends in facilities management, building operations and mobile business process optimization. Registrants were exposed to the benefits of mobile computing, some of the common challenges associated with going mobile and were introduced to technologies that bridge the gap between the office and the field.

In this webinar we showed our prebuilt work order management solution that’s fully integrated into Archibus, but the same set of apps could easily be integrated to any backend system you have.

Here’s a recap of what was covered:

Operations Managers, Facilities Managers, and Property Managers are charged with collecting and reporting on a wide variety of different types of data. This data needs to be collected out in the field, returned to the office, and entered into the primary back office business application. This manual collection process always creates significant operational challenges.

Some of the challenges Include:

• Data collection errors
• Significant labor hours spent manually entering data in the backend system
• Paper forms are not returned back to the office
• Office staff cannot read the mobile worker’s handwriting
• Document storage and retrieval
• Additional useful information isn’t captured (eg. Pictures, Videos, Voice Notes)
• Management is stuck making decisions using old, inaccurate data.
• Historical information about equipment, assets, past inspections, cannot be referenced

The good news is that there are solutions to this problem. ALL of our customers who grew tired of this error prone way of conducting their business have been able to completely eliminate paper based field data collection.

Some of the different types of mobile applications our customers have automated include:

• Work Requests
• Building Operations
• Panel Legends
• Lease Abstracts
• Life Safety Inspections
• Records Center Management
• Time Tracking
• Asset Management
• Property Record Management

With all of these different types of data being collected, manipulated, and entered into your back office system it is important to have a mobile computing platform that allows for the automation of any kind of mobile business process. Think of all of the different paper forms that are in use today, our solution can take those existing forms and mobilize them using our 100% Code Free Development Environment. The best part is that we include all of the tools you would need to ensure a successful mobile deployment.
