CBS for Property & Asset Mgt  

Property Mgrs, Developers, Real Estate Agents

Any organisation involved in property development, sales or management can benefit from the improved planning, coordination and control afforded by Compass Business Suite.

Development
Whether it is houses, units, commercial buildings, public utilities or spaces, garages, gardens or play areas, CBS captures the big picture and the fine detail perfectly. Every component of the planning, costing, construction, and fitout can be managed better with CBS.

The software caters for every stage of the asset life cycle: acquisition, construction, periodic maintenance, repair, restoration, enhancement, demolition and disposal. It handles both things you use to build or maintain facilities as well as the facilities themselves. Things like electrical services, wastewater or fresh water, airconditioning, lifts, plant, equipment, furniture, buildings or vehicles.

CBS allows the organisation to track and control every element of labour, materials and equipment and carry out timely management review procedures to ensure costs are kept in check.

Examples of value adding support:

  • Developers need to provide team members with easy [but secure] access to the latest plans, drawings, cost estimates. They also want to improve the speed of tendering, updating plans and other communications.
  • Builders need to know who is delivering what, when and who is responsible for each task. They need to schedule labour, roster workers, and select the right person for roughing it in or fine finishing. Lists of exactly who possesses the requisite skills are constantly on hand and can be accessed by all levels of management.
  • Trades persons have to know exactly what to do, what materials and tools are to be supplied, and who they report to. With automated e-mails going out every night to individual workers or to contractors, site management has less paperwork, greater control and more time for supervising quality.
  • Engineers and Architects want to be able to plan their work carefully and communicate their intents precisely. They want to ensure that the manufacturer and supplier instructions about installation and usage are conveyed to the trades person directly and fully. Sometimes they want to build scenarios, play what if analyses through a system that lets them track assets and recommend appropriate guidelines on usage, maintenance and disposal.
  • Each day or week, workers and contractors can use the web to quickly see exactly what they have to do on the job. Timesheets are electronic and cumulative costs can be pulled at any time.

    Asset Management
    Whether they be buildings, driveways, gates, plant, equipment, furniture or play facilities [toys], CBS captures the general description, pictures and technical detail perfectly. Every facility, convenience, asset or utility service can be managed better with CBS.

    The software caters for every stage of ownership, leasing or on loan. It handles things you have built or bought, things that appreciate in value or need to be maintained to retain their value. Things like buildings, electrical services, wastewater or fresh water, airconditioning, lifts, plant, equipment, vehicles, furniture, appliances, utensils, artefacts ... even toys.

    CBS allows the organisation to track and control usage and carry out timely preventative maintenance procedures or restoration projects to ensure your assets hold their value yet maintenance and holding costs are kept to a minimum.

    Here are some practical examples:

  • Engineers and curators need to provide team members with easy [but secure] access to the latest plans, pictures, drawings, cost estimates. They also want to improve the speed of tendering, updating plans and other communications.
  • Supervisors need to know who is delivering what, when and who is responsible for each task. They need to schedule jobs, and select the right person for each task. Knowing exactly who possesses the requisite skills is important.
  • Maintenance persons have to know exactly what to do, what materials and tools are to be supplied, and who they report to. With automated e-mails going out to individual workers or to contractors, the management role involves less paperwork, enabling greater control and more time for supervising quality.
  • Maintenance Managers want to be able to track assets and make appropriate decisions on usage and disposal (regardless of whether assets are purchased, leased or hired.) They need to see whether manufacturer and supplier instructions about installation and maintenance have been adhered to.
  • Maintenance Departments no longer have to keep paper files and memory joggers to remember when warranty servicing should be done.
  • Senior Managers want to know whether routine maintenance is being carried out to ensure that costly repairs for broken assets are minimised.
  • Each day or week, workers and contractors can use the web to quickly see exactly what they have to do on the job. Timesheets are electronic and cumulative costs can be pulled at any time.
