Facilities Management

Workers and jobs spread over large geographic areas presents visibility and management issues for Facilities Management organisations.

Kirona understands these challenges because we have worked with some of the largest Facilities Management organisations in the UK. We help those organisations overcome these challenges to reduce costs, increase productivity and win new contracts. This is acheived through the implementation of Kirona's Field Force Automation (FFA) solution.

Product Overview
FFA for Facilities Management is provided using Kirona's Job Manager. Job Manager enables operatives to view their work through a mobile device (usually a Tablet PC or Notebook) and then use it to quickly capture job information when onsite. This information is then sent over the mobile network to automatically update relevant office systems.

Workers are required to update their job statuses as they progress through the day, and if Kirona's iTracker is utilised then their GPS location is also recorded. This ensures supervisors always have real-time information available of where the workforce is and how they are progressing with their tasks. If they fall behind then supervisors are aware immediately, and if they are ahead then supervisors can allocate more work at the touch of a button.

How will it benefit me?

• Efficiency - Enable workers to see future work due at a site and make a decision to do it whilst they are there thus preventing the need to return in the future  
• Productivity - Reduce paperwork and travel to liberate time for additional jobs
• Visiblity - Allow supervisors to see workers' progress in real-time
