The administration of facilities via spreadsheets and paper trails usually forms a hectic loop of missed work orders, and constant firefighting. Such a deficiency in real-time transparency is bound to result in dissatisfied teams, dissatisfied occupants, and expensive, unnecessary downtime equipment.
The only contemporary way out is to stop using these old, manual systems and start using lean cloud-driven software to manage operations and do it wherever you are. This change equips facility teams to begin to be responsive to daily failures rather than predictive with information.
Cryotos fits perfectly into this gap, providing a mobile first platform that is digitalizing your maintenance and automating your most complicated workflows. We can give you the means to take the reins back so that your management of your facility is not reactive, but proactive, available, and effective.
What is the reason why modern teams are abandoning on-premises solutions? It is the opposition of night and day:
The problem of sticking to the old way is costing you more than you realize. Data silos imply that your maintenance department is unaware of what the purchase department is up to. Delays in responding to equipment breakdown irritate residents and reduce the life of assets. You do not have the data to demonstrate ROI or budget for your next year's replacements since you do not have a cloud history.
Facility management does not occur behind the desk, but in the boiler room, the roof, and in various locations. Cloud software liberates you. Using a mobile app, the technicians carry an office in their pocket, which means that they can read a work order, change status, and add photos to it immediately in the field.
Why it is beneficial: It minimally increases the response time of the technicians as they can fix the problems on-site, not having to go back to a desk.
Farewell 5 figure server expenses and prohibitive IT maintenance agreements. Cloud computing is usually offered on a pay-as-you-use basis, moving the expense of heavy CapEX (Capital Expenditure) to affordable OpEX (Operational Expenditure).
Why it is beneficial: It saves you a lot of large initial capital investments, which can be issued back into your budget to be utilized in other areas of your facility operations that are of the utmost importance.
Delays are also introduced because of communication failure. When it comes to cloud software, updates are done instantly. After a work order is approved by a facility manager, a notification is sent to a vendor immediately. When the technician documents that the job is done, the admin is able to see the job in real time. This loop maintains the technicians, managers, and vendors on the same track.
Why it is beneficial: it gives the opportunity to present one source of truth to everyone involved, not to spend time and make mistakes because of misunderstanding or old information.
In charge of one building this year, five of the following year? Cloud software expands with you. You are able to add new buildings, users, or assets with an instant visit not involving the IT department. The system is scalable either upwards or downwards depending on what you need at the moment.
Why it is beneficial: It enables your business operations to grow at the touch of a button without incurring downtime and cost of installing new hardware and systems.
The software can identify such trends that the past data is retained in the cloud. It is capable of informing you that after approximately every 3 months you will be likely to overheat HVAC Unit 4 hence being able to service that unit before it breaks down. This proactive to reactive maintenance is useful in extending the life of assets and also prevents costly emergency maintenance.
Why it is beneficial: It will decrease unforeseen and costly downtimes and increase the longevity of assets that are priced highly because it will find the issues, before they can be turned into failures.
The process of migrating to the clouds does not need to be frightening. Here is a simple roadmap:
To truly maximize these benefits, you need the right features. Cryotos provides a suite of tools designed for the modern FM:
