Dear All,
Space Modeling:
FacilitiesDesk now offers the flexibility to model your space details based on property type (ex: building, stadium, airport etc..) and add details of all your facilities across different locations.
Define your space details up to three levels of hierarchy based on the space type. For example, if space type is building which will be level 1 then, the floor and room will be level 2 and 3 respectively.
Get clarity in understanding your infrastructure better especially with already available AutoCAD integration and hence improve space optimization and management.
Vendor Management
Decrease your workload on the asset management and maintenance. The Vendor Management screen gives details of all the vendors your company deals with.
Each of the vendor details gives comprehensive information like all the assets sold by the vendor, the asset details, asset maintenance and asset lease contracts associated with the vendor and all the Purchase order history relevant to this vendor.
This one shot information helps your facilities department in evaluating the vendor and his transactions and hence proceed with decision making like continuing with the vendor, assets purchase that needs to be stopped or increased with a particular vendor, etc.
And...
FacilitiesDesk allows facilities management personnel to pull out the apt “Maintenance checklist and safety tips” from the KnowledgeBase for a known planned maintenance task or while resolving popular breakdown maintenance issue for an asset.
The planning of schedules for preventive maintenance of assets is enhanced. Now plan your preventive maintenance with “start and end dates” in your usual daily, weekly, monthly and yearly schedules. Also chart your maintenance schedules on desired days of a month, ex: second Saturday or third Sunday of the chosen month.
With this release we offer craft personnel logins for separate licenses bought based on number of staffs
Thats from our news table..hope to serve you better and better..
Happy Facilities Management!

What does top management expect from Facility Managers during recession?
If this recession goes on like this the senior management will want facility managers to cut costs and add value simultaneously.
The trick to doing that is to focus on corporate outcomes, not on faciltiy operations outcomes. Facility Managers have to have business acumen, they have to understand the financials, and have to know how to manage relationships internally.
Some examples on: How add value while cutting costs?
• Facility Managers have to optimize to the fullest when it comes to space. Getting rid of unnecessary space is the fastest way to cut facility-operational costs. But cutting down too much space could leave the corporation ill-positioned when the economy rebounds. A lot of corporates are concerned that they’re going to cut too much. There has to be some flex in how you manage your property portfolio.
In past downturns, corporate facilities were managed to balance “value creation” strategies to improve operational efficiency with “value protection” measures to cut costs. Greater use of alternative work strategies such as hotelling or telecommuting helped to maintain this balance because they achieved both goals.
• Corporates continue to emphasize measures to reduce their environmental impact, but Facility Managers are more sensitive to costs than, say, a couple of years ago. The idea of paying a green premium is harder to sell; so is the cost to get LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standard certified, though LEED remains the touchstone for green building initiatives. Instead, there’s a new focus on energy efficiency.
• In the 1991-92 “depression,” as the Urban Land Institute called that downturn, one telecom took the opportunity to buy property at 50 cents on the dollar. The same thing may happen in this recession period too, with corporates willing to own a higher percentage of their space than in the past, when the industry average was about 60 percent leased space.
Hope this info is useful....I look forward to give you more related information....
