When we streamline processes, we get more done and spend less time circling back on ourselves. This leads to higher levels of productivity and lowers costs to the business. But most important of all is the time saving streamlined processes allow for. Once time is spent, we can never get it back. Spending our time wisely allows us to focus on the most important aspects of building management – community relationships.
One of the key strengths of BuildingLink’s building management software is the streamlined process flows. Our teams have done the hard work to make sure our clients can get the most from their days. Not only that, the building residents they take care of can get a higher level of support and community involvement too.
Smooth communications
Communication between building management teams, committee members and residents is arguably one of the most time-consuming elements of a building manager’s day. Time spent on the phone with contractors, following up on residents’ requests and simply making sure the right people get the right message at the right time can take up large chunks of a workday.
BuildingLink’s communication tools speed things up by helping management teams easily follow the threads of conversations and requests. This alone can add up to a substantial 32 hours saved each year, that’s four whole working days!
Online events management that enable bookings to be made in the resident platform and managers to administer them from a desk or the GEO app can save a further 45 minutes a week or 36 hours over the course of a year.
Advanced administration
Keeping residents’ details updated and documents such as forms, orders and work orders online reduces time spent filing and chasing tenants for their information. This saves time and money thanks to the reduced costs of printing and sending forms and other updates out.
Combined this creates a total of 114 hours or two weeks saved from chasing people up and completing mundane tasks. The cost savings aren’t to be ignored either, reducing paperwork order forms, printer ink and paper savings reduce costs by around $400 per year. Enough to take the team out for end of year drinks.
Robust reporting
The importance of reporting is hard to over-emphasise. Building management reports help efficiencies to be spotted, problems to be addressed before they become major issues and opportunities to be acted upon faster and with more focus. But they can take hours to produce.
BuildingLink’s report generation tools can shave four hours off the management team’s workdays each month. A further 1 hour is saved each week from the streamlining of other key management processes such as regular inspections and approving contractor’s work. This gives teams an entire 12 days more each year to focus on what really matters.
We understand how precious time is, that’s why BuildingLink’s building management system streamlines these key processes. We’re always looking for ways to improve the lives of our clients and the communities they manage. Saving people time and money is just one of the ways that we do this.
