Facilities evidence your clients can open

Tagged assets, work orders closed with a photograph and a monthly report generated from the record, for FM contractors, compound operators and building owners.

Facilities work produces a steady stream of small completions and a report written from memory at month end. We build an evidence pattern for it: tagged assets, work orders closed with a photograph, planned maintenance on a schedule, and a monthly report generated from the record and approved by the contract manager.

A row of QR-tagged assets across the top: chiller, fire panel, pump room, pool plant and water tank. Three work orders hang from three of them, each with a photograph slot. Two have a photograph, a time and a name and are closed and verified; the third has an empty slot and is marked cannot close. Highlighted lines carry the two evidenced jobs to the contract manager, who approves, and on into the monthly report of planned work, reactive tickets, vendor records and an overdue section that stays in. Vendor uploads join at the same approval after they are reviewed.TAGGED ASSETS, SCANNED NOT SEARCHEDCHILLERQR TAGFIRE PANELQR TAGPUMP ROOMQR TAGPOOL PLANTQR TAGWATER TANKQR TAGWORK ORDERPHOTOTIME, NAMECLOSED, VERIFIEDWORK ORDERPHOTOTIME, NAMECLOSED, VERIFIEDWORK ORDERNO PHOTOYETCANNOT CLOSECONTRACT MANAGERAPPROVES THE MONTHVENDOR UPLOADREVIEWED BEFORE IT COUNTSOUTSOURCEDVENDORSMONTHLY REPORTPLANNED WORKREACTIVE TICKETSVENDOR RECORDSOVERDUE, STAYS INNO PHOTOGRAPH, NO CLOSURE

Why the monthly report arrives late and flattering

In most FM contracts the monthly report is written in the last week of the month by somebody reconstructing four weeks from a chat thread. It arrives late, it is always positive, and it rarely contains the thing the client needed to know. The fix is capturing the evidence at the moment of work, against the asset, so the report becomes a query rather than a composition.

  • Planned maintenance is marked done with no photograph and no reading
  • Reactive calls arrive by phone and chat, so nobody can say when the clock started
  • Vendors email their service reports, and nobody checks them against the asset they cover
  • The asset register is a spreadsheet that stopped matching the building after the last refit
  • Fire alarm, water tank and pest control records are asked for by an inspector and held by a vendor

Records a facilities operation is asked for

Each has its own reader. The closure rule is what makes every one of them exist.

RequirementWhat it means on site
Planned maintenance completionThe client, every month. Each task closes with a photograph or a reading against the asset.
Reactive tickets and their responseThe client and tenants. The clock starts when the ticket is raised, and the record keeps both ends of it.
The asset registerOwners and auditors. Tagged assets with a location, a class and a maintenance interval.
Fire alarm and life safety maintenanceCivil Defence. Vendor reports held against the system they cover, with the next due date.
Water tank cleaning and pest controlMunicipal inspectors, and food and healthcare clients. Held against the tank or the monitoring point, not in a vendor's inbox.
Cleaning inspectionsTenants and your own supervisors, recorded per area with findings raised on the spot.
Vendor performanceYour contract manager. Uploads, lateness and repeat faults per vendor, read from the record.

What operators ask before switching

Q01

Who checks the work before it reaches the report?

A supervisor or the client verifies each closed job, and the contract manager approves the monthly report before it goes. The software assembles the evidence and hands it to them, because the sign-off belongs to the person who answers for the contract.

Q02

We already have a CAFM system. Does this replace it?

Usually not. If it holds your assets and work orders well, we connect to it and build the evidence and reporting layer on top.

Q03

Would you run our FM instead?

ITF FM does that. This page is for operators who want to keep the work and improve the evidence.

Q04

Can tenants or owners log in?

Yes. Each login sees its own buildings and the records against them.

Q05

What does a typical engagement look like?

A compound operator in Khobar runs its own maintenance team and three outsourced vendors for pest control, pools and HVAC, and the owner receives a monthly report the facilities manager writes from emails. Assets across the compound are tagged, and the in-house team closes jobs on a phone with a photograph. Each vendor uploads its service record against the asset through a portal instead of by email, and the upload is reviewed before it counts. The monthly report assembles from those records, with an overdue section nobody can edit out, and waits for the facilities manager's approval. The operator holds the asset register, the work order history, vendor records against each asset and a report the owner can trace line by line.

Trace last month's report to its evidence

The systems audit takes last month's report and traces each line back to the work behind it. Where a line has no evidence, that is where the build starts.
