Model your Space in your Facilities Management System for easy asset management and tracking of space optimization with FacilitiesDesk 6

Dear All,

Its indeed a pleasure to let you know that, we have unveiled FacilitiesDesk 6 (Download Now!)

Let me walk you through the interesting benefits of the release...

Space Modeling:

FacilitiesDesk now offers the flexibility to model your space details based on property type (ex: building, stadium, airport etc..) and add details of all your facilities across different locations.

Define your space details up to three levels of hierarchy based on the space type. For example, if space type is building which will be level 1 then, the floor and room will be level 2 and 3 respectively.

Get clarity in understanding your infrastructure better especially with already available AutoCAD integration and hence improve space optimization and management.

Vendor Management

Decrease your workload on the asset management and maintenance. The Vendor Management screen gives details of all the vendors your company deals with.

Each of the vendor details gives comprehensive information like all the assets sold by the vendor, the asset details, asset maintenance and asset lease contracts associated with the vendor and all the Purchase order history relevant to this vendor.

This one shot information helps your facilities department in evaluating the vendor and his transactions and hence proceed with decision making like continuing with the vendor, assets purchase that needs to be stopped or increased with a particular vendor, etc.

And...

FacilitiesDesk allows facilities management personnel to pull out the apt “Maintenance checklist and safety tips” from the KnowledgeBase for a known planned maintenance task or while resolving popular breakdown maintenance issue for an asset.

The planning of schedules for preventive maintenance of assets is enhanced. Now plan your preventive maintenance with “start and end dates” in your usual daily, weekly, monthly and yearly schedules. Also chart your maintenance schedules on desired days of a month, ex: second Saturday or third Sunday of the chosen month.

With this release we offer craft personnel logins for separate licenses bought based on number of staffs

Thats from our news table..hope to serve you better and better..

Happy Facilities Management!
