Industry digitalisation analysis

Digitalization of building maintenance and technical service

Better-designed visits and consistent building maintenance

Digital maturity

Typical digital maturity

Shows the level of digitalisation companies in this line of business typically operate at.

The assessment considers use of core systems, how far processes are digitalised, integrations, data readiness and advanced use of data.

A 3 means ordinary, middling maturity. A 5 is given only where real-time data, automated decisions and advanced optimisation are already a routine part of core operations.

Operating model

The maintenance company serves buildings under contracts, plans inspections and responds to faults. Technicians need a history of equipment, and coordinators need the work done and the remaining shortcomings.

Technical service of commercial buildings

The company oversees the client's equipment according to the agreed scope of work and response deadlines. It is noted at the task whether the work is included in the contract or it will be billed additionally.

Critical Object Maintenance

Equipment disruption can stop important building activities. Time, access, and tools to ensure continuity of service are pre-compatible for service.

Service company working in several facilities

The manual divides calls according to the technicians' qualifications, route and employment. Before the visit, it checks whether the required parts are at the technician's disposal or will be delivered to the facility.

Market context

The maintenance company carries out scheduled inspections and responds to customer failure reports. The readiness of the technician is determined by the history of the equipment, access to the building and proper parts. The client has a valuable solved disorder and a clear explanation of the work done, and the service provider has a profitable and enforceable contract.

  • Preparation for work at the facilityThe technician needs a history of failure, proper parts, documents and matched access to equipment.
  • Separation of contract and ancillary worksThe team needs to know what is included in the service fee and what needs to be further aligned with the customer.

Workflow and responsibilities

01

Need for care

The device's plan, failure or significant signal receives an appropriate technical basis.

02

Preparation of the visit

Compatible technician, access, required part and job criteria.

03

On-site work

A specific device is recorded, and action, measurement, and consumption are performed.

04

Validation of the work carried out and technical readiness

A result or a required continuation is accepted, preserving the asset limitation.

05

Service Preview

Real work and reasons for waiting are compared to the contract rules and selected costs.

Digital maturity scale

1

Separate records and manual work

Information is mainly held in separate files or notes. Employees pass it on and reconcile it manually.

2

Organised data within individual teams

Teams record their work consistently, but sharing information with colleagues still requires considerable manual checking.

3

Partially integrated systems

Core work is managed in systems. Some information is transferred automatically, but repeated data entry remains.

4

Coordinated systems and teams

Systems deliver the required data on time. Employees can see unfinished work and know who is responsible for resolving discrepancies.

5

Continuous measurement and improvement

The team checks data quality, evaluates results and uses them to improve operations. Automation is applied where its value can be demonstrated.

Executive conclusion

The prepared visit helps the master to arrive with the necessary information and parts. Registered works facilitate the preparation of a report to the client and evaluation of the service's profitability.
