Assets & Maintenance

Flow360 is a powerful tool for holding and interfacing all key data associated with the fixed assets and moving-stock items you have, their identification and the maintenance requirements relating to them.

Asset recording and documentation handling - A single resource for holding and maintaining all information related to assets, their condition, location and maintenance requirements. Follow intuitive ‘drilling’ routes to access multi-site, single-site or individual room, plant or item records. Linked document storage at each level enables maps, drawings, specifications, manuals, photographs and individual item schematics to be attached.

Planned Maintenance - Create and manage maintenance schedules to assist with budget management, life-cycle planning and resource and work-flow scheduling to ensure that assets continue to perform to their maximum capacity in a cost-effective manner.

Reactive Maintenance - Where unforeseen events do occur, Flow360 can notify relevant stakeholders, identify and communicate with chosen suppliers and monitor and inform on work-in-progress —auditing the repair process from notification through to resolution. The ability to attach documentation to works orders supports Health and Safety compliance and ensures maintenance teams reach sites suitably briefed and equipped to undertake tasks.

Asset Tracking - Flow360 enables individual items to be recorded as assets. These can then be tagged for tracking or recording of maintenance schedules. Flow360 works with partners who specialise in manual, bar-coded and radio-frequency identification tags for asset and equipment management.

Facilities & Helpdesk

Flow360 initiates and audits the actions which are required to get things done within the maintenance process

Help Desk - Provides the initial point of contact for users to raise work requisition orders on-line or via help-desk staff. Flow360 communicates messages to in-house service staff or retained contractors via SMS messaging or any internet enabled device. To speed up the resolution of items raised, Flow360’s Help Desk has access to linked external document storage.

Supplier Relations - Flow360 liases directly with individual or selected groups of suppliers to facilitate e-tendering, manage price enquiries and issue works orders. Use the integrated National Schedule of Rates for quotation and cost-calculations and shortlist suppliers for works. Flow360 also recognises and supports sub-contract level relationships.

Inspections - Flow360 manages the diary of essential tasks and makes records available to the responsible person anywhere, anytime. In addition, where reactive maintenance works are issued, Flow360 has the ability to identify if routine task requirements could be conducted in parallel, reducing wastage of time and expense per item.
