As a global leader in financial news and data, this client needed a facility program that valued integrated technology and a data-driven mindset. ABM Connect™, an advanced data intelligence platform, effectively meets these needs by integrating data sources including facility, financial, equipment, IoT, and service delivery metrics in real-time.

Challenge

With a reputation for precision and professionalism, this financial-sector client required meticulous and consistent cleanliness across its entire office footprint. Its facilities are managed by a property management company, which needed better insight into operations to uphold the client’s high standards and deliver a premium environment for building occupants.

Solution

Enhanced visibility across the entire portfolio

The solution was the deployment of ABM Connect, which allows for comprehensive monitoring and management of facility operations.

• Real-time data capture: Equipped with mobile devices, frontline team members scan QR codes for each area serviced. This data, including time-stamped records of cleaning tasks for each area, is uploaded to ABM Connect in real time, providing visibility to operations and clients.
• Dashboard insights: Data collected from team members, facility assets, and more, is available via intuitive dashboards, giving clients the information they need to take action fast.

A facility manager notes, by providing intuitive, easy-to-read data, “ABM Connect's dashboard has transformed our approach, enabling us to maintain cleanliness at the highest level.”

• Visibility into key metrics: The platform provides visibility into key metrics, such as quality, safety, and work order completion, allowing the management team to meet KPIs and adjust services dynamically.
• Program partnership: ABM meets with the client weekly to review data and discuss any necessary changes.
