Today’s Facilities Management (FM) professionals are responsible for a myriad of services. Although the majority of time should be spent out in the field, the reality is that many FM engineers spend a proportion of their week returning back to the office to process paperwork. In the same way an engineer out in the field is viewed as making an FM organisation money, the time they spend back in the office is costing the organisation money. Data collection software solutions such as eSquiggles are now being used to combat these unnecessary overheads.
eSquiggles is being readily adopted in the FM market and is assisting companies to improve service delivery, meet legislative requirements and save time and money. It enables field staff to capture data and perform inspections electronically via PDAs. It replaces existing paper forms with mobile forms, populates the data into back office systems or reports automatically and provides additional features particularly relevant in the FM sector such as Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) and Asset Management
Meeting Legislative Requirements
As more legislative requirements are being placed upon public sector organisations, health authorities and large commercial organisations, the FM organisations which are servicing these organisations need to be more stringent with operational processes and reporting mechanisms.
FM organisations are governed by a many facets of legislation, some of which focus on managing risks, reducing paperwork and providing a safe sustainable environment for clients. By collecting data quicker and making onsite inspections easier, eSquiggles is assisting in remaining compliant. Some key areas of legislation include:
Construction, Design and Management Regulations (CDM) 2007
Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act
Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006
Management Reporting
The Client Portal functionality within eSquiggles allows access to job information remotely, similar to an Extranet. This means FM companies can view how a range of subcontractors are performing through the eSquiggles system easily and quickly. Powerful management reports can be generated instantly which allow FM organisations, and their clients in turn, to report against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or Service Level Agreements (SLAs). These types of reporting mechanisms are particularly beneficial to those FM companies working as part of a consortium or working under a Public Private Partnership (PPP).
