Building Operations Software

There are several business reasons why you might need to use building maintenance software, even if your property portfolio is relatively small. First and foremost, to ensure that you are regularly taking care of necessary maintenance and can quickly respond to repairs. Keeping a property maintained is key to making sure it is profitable. It can also help with your sustainability goals. By reducing your risk of breakdowns, you also keep your clients happy. Second, if you employ facility managers (or if your business is a property and facility management business) then you can use property maintenance software to oversee their work and assign tasks. The best maintenance software solutions, including PlanRadar, allow you to track the work of external vendors and contractors. Finally, maintenance software can help you to comply with health and safety regulations and prove that you’re keeping up with compliance. Overall, property maintenance software makes it easier to keep your properties up and running and fulfilling their potential.

The first task when choosing a property management software is to identify your business needs. Where are you looking to improve? Select your core goals and consider the features software would need to achieve those goals. The second step is doing your research and creating a shortlist. Make sure to use free trials and request product demonstrations. Finally, sit down with your whole team and discuss which offering fits your business best. Make sure to ask questions about pricing, support and training for different members of your team.

Yes! Thanks to PlanRadar’s flexible pricing model, it is a great option for businesses of all sizes. However, small property management businesses need to be smarter with their resources than big ones, and PlanRadar can be helpful in identifying opportunities to save time and money. If you’re working alone and just use subcontractors to handle certain tasks, then it’s also easy to balance your workload and manage external contractors with just one PlanRadar license. That makes it an extremely cost-effective solution that lets you offer your customers the same level of service as a large company.

The best real estate and property management software can solve a range of your business’s challenges – which means that the best solution for you could be different to the best solution for your competitor. A lot depends on the scale of your company and the sectors you serve. Are you mostly operating residential units with long term tenants? Do you have to manage warehouses or logistics facilities with complex essential machinery to maintain? Do you employ facility managers or do you have a contract with another company for that service? Do you need a system that can handle billing, or do you need a solution that can integrate with your existing software infrastructure? PlanRadar works for asset managers who need to oversee property portfolios at a high level, but it also works for property and facility managers who are operational every day. The best real estate software meets your needs, is easy to implement, requires little maintenance and doesn’t require hours of training.

PlanRadar helps residential property managers significantly speed up their processes. Your business could become more efficient and legally compliant by using PlanRadar for safety inspections, scheduled maintenance, repair requests, property handover forms and more.
