How our AI solutions can help with key issues impacting the FM industry

Reporting Reactive Maintenance Issues

Current Proccess

1. Initial Reporting
‍When maintenance issues arise, they are reported to the help desk, either via email or phone call. Sometimes, even simple problems may require an engineer's attention.

2. Work Order Creation
‍The help desk collects all the necessary information about the issue and then creates a work order.

3. Work Order Diagnosis
‍The work order is shared with the engineer. The engineer then attends and diagnoses the problem.

4. Potential Inefficiencies
‍Engineers may have to make repeat visits to resolve the issue due to a lack of complete information or the right tools during their first visit.

askporter's Solution

1. Enhanced Issue Specification
‍askporter assists users in providing more specific details about the maintenance issue, such as the exact location and part numbers. This level of detail can potentially lead to a self-fix by the user, thereby avoiding the need for an engineer's visit.

2. Better Prepared Engineers
‍With askporter, engineers are informed about the issue in advance and can prepare more effectively. They have access to the asset's history and can ensure they bring the required equipment. This preparation could reduce the need for repeat visits and increase the efficiency of the maintenance process.

Maintaining the Asset Register

Current Challenges

‍Outdated Asset Registers
Due to human error and technological limitations, asset registers often become outdated, leading to unreliability.

Time-Consuming Updates
‍Regular updating of asset registers requires significant manual effort and attention.

Inaccurate Maintenance Planning
‍Inaccuracies in asset history result in ineffective maintenance planning, higher costs, and operational inefficiencies.

Miscommunication Risks
‍Lack of real-time updates in asset registers can cause miscommunication and resource mismanagement.

Engineer Revisitations
‍The struggle to keep registers updated often leads to unnecessary engineer revisits, affecting efficiency and increasing costs.

Expensive Asset Surveys
‍Maintaining an asset register often requires expensive third party asset surveys
