Facilities Management Use Case

With rising maintenance costs and shrinking budgets, facilities managers are being asked to do more with less every day. Their roles have also expanded beyond traditional maintenance and planning tasks to include more employee services. One common service that most managers must provide is room and resource scheduling.

While facility managers already track information on the shared spaces within their company, the systems lack a scheduling component or don't provide support for direct end user scheduling. Facilities managers typically lack the staff to set-up a reservations desk; so many managers are looking for a simple scheduling solution, which allows self-service scheduling. While many products are available in the market, few provide easy set-up and deployment while providing all the necessary reporting to analyse actual utilization.

Innobate's Resource Scheduling solution allows existing facility and reservation information to be imported during implementation. Because it is web based, there is no software to install on the end user's PC. This eliminates set-up questions and allows for quick deployment across the entire company.

Rooms can also be made inactive during maintenance periods to prevent users from scheduling a room that is not available. When the resource is available again, simply make it active and users can immediately start scheduling.

Finally, Innobate's Resource Scheduling solution is designed to fit into your existing environment.
