The challenge

Manual coordination

Facilities repairs depended on processes that were difficult to coordinate efficiently.

Disconnected asset work

Repair and asset-management activity needed a more integrated service platform.

Limited accountability

Disorganization made ownership and progress harder to track.

Collaboration friction

Teams needed a clearer way to work together on facilities requests.

The implementation

Asset management

Facilities assets and related service work could be managed in one system.

Custom workflows

Processes were configured around the institution’s facilities operations.

Automated work orders

Work-order automation reduced the coordination required to move repairs forward.

Task management and reporting

Task controls and advanced reporting improved operational visibility.

Results and benefits.
