As a multi-location property manager, you need a simple way to track and manage your work order information – one centralized location to create service requests, monitor status updates, and leave feedback.
There is plenty of work order management software available and you probably have one in place already. But what if your service provider uses a different system? This creates a disconnect and makes life more complicated than it needs to be.
Strategic Grounds Management has the agility to work with virtually any work order management system you have in place, leaving you with the best of both worlds – once single service provider for all your locations and a centralized location to track and manage all your jobs.
Advanced IT Solutions to Multi-Site Business Operations
For highly effective property and facility management, the application of cloud-based network solutions allows all maintenance to be efficiently coordinated and automated across long distances. Local technicians become more autonomous and efficient in their day-to-day attention to the needs of the properties under their care. Here are three core benefits that work order management software provides to ensure that happens.
Reduced Complexity
Multi-site property management must maintain consistent awareness of day-to-day maintenance requirements across many facilities. If fulfilled by a single company, this need is the keystone that ensures a consistent set of standards is applied and maintained at every site. Complete control over site data, made possible with work order management software, is what keeps that keystone in place. These software solutions’ automation of network resources simultaneously improves safety, comfort, and brand image at multiple locations.
Automates Work Order Dispersal
The exemplary service technician uses real-time work order updates to get the most accurate and relevant daily instructions at the correct location. Not only this, but the technicians in the field also see contextual resources such as:
- Local service history
- Equipment manuals & knowledge databases
- Auto-populated maintenance schedules
- Site-specific inventory lists
The efficiency of property maintenance work will skyrocket, and the advantages of automated work orders can save millions in multi-site operations costs. One of the most popular convenience stores in the country calculated that a streamlined work order system generated an annual savings of $3 million, which allowed them to aggressively expand the growth of their franchise networks.
Analyze & Evaluate Work Order History
With maintenance needs firmly under control by a single company, that company can better perform cost-saving preventative maintenance. Equipment records like service dates and past repairs are compiled, and equipment specialists are automatically notified of time- and cost-saving measures specific to each site. This is done with a cloud-based Computerized Maintenance Management System that includes predictable maintenance needs. This superior use of data analysis – done automatically – saves the property owner expensive repairs and storefront downtime. By hiring a single property maintenance company, they have a strong incentive to save the property owner and themselves time, labor, expense, and liability by tracking and addressing preventative maintenance needs like clockwork.
Singular, Specialized Solutions
As IT solutions are applied to property management and facility maintenance needs, only a select few can use this software effectively at a national level. Strategic Grounds has the flexibility necessary to integrate these capabilities with a wide variety of different local systems. The result is a wholly self-contained strategy of automated and efficient levels of multi-site-wide controls that our boots on the ground, accounting experts, and processing teams have honed to an exact science.
