Facilities management

Facilities software for the day somebody asks for the register

Planned rounds across a portfolio, statutory checks with the escalation clock built in, and remedial actions tracked to a contractor and a date.

What this is

The register is the deliverable

Facilities software is usually sold on work orders. What gets a client sacked is the compliance register being wrong on the day somebody asks for it. We build backwards from that document.

The engineer going next is not the one who went last

Which means the record has to carry enough for a stranger to continue.

Escalation runs on a clock

Some obligations start a timer the moment a fault is found. That belongs in the software, so nobody has to remember it on shift.

Services

What we build for facilities teams

Planned inspection rounds

Routes across a portfolio with evidence captured for each asset.

Statutory compliance registers

Fire, water, gas and lifting, each with its own interval and its own proof.

Remedial action tracking

Every defect tied to a contractor, a date and a closing photo.

Engineer and contractor apps

Offline first, because plant rooms and basements are where the checks happen.

Permits to work

Issued, time-boxed and closed, with the audit trail attached to the asset.

Portfolio reporting

One view of what is compliant, what is due and what is late across every site.

Obligations

What the clock looks like in practice

Two of these are timers. Software that treats them as fields will miss them.

Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022In force since 23 January 2023. Monthly routine checks of firefighters lifts, evacuation lifts and essential firefighting equipment in high-rise residential buildings.
The 24-hour reportA fault from those checks that is not rectified within 24 hours must be reported electronically to the fire and rescue authority, and the repair reported when complete.
Communal fire doorsBuildings above 11 metres carry a quarterly check duty on communal fire doors, which is a different interval on the same round.
Evidence per assetA register that records only the visit falls apart the first time somebody asks about one door.

Different sector, same hard part: people working where the signal drops, producing records somebody disputes later. Every record is written to the device first and drained from a queue the user can watch.

FAQs

What buyers ask first

Do we have to replace our CAFM system?

Usually not. The common job is making the statutory side correct and feeding the result into the CAFM you already run.

Can contractors use it without a licence each?

That is normally a requirement, and it shapes how permissions and seats are designed from the start.

What about buildings with different obligations?

Different intervals on the same round is the normal case. The model has to carry the interval per asset type.

Who owns the code and the cloud accounts?

You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts stay in your name.
