Facilities management
Improve Maintenance Decisions Across Every Site.
Facilities teams receive reports from people who are not technical. Guided capture turns those reports into something a planner can act on.
For facilities management directors, maintenance directors and heads of property operations responsible for multi-site maintenance and contractor networks.
No app. No customer account. No live video call.

How can facilities teams triage reported faults across multiple sites?
The person reporting the issue receives a guided link and records the fault, the location and the surrounding condition. The facilities team reviews the case centrally, assigns the correct trade, prioritises against other sites, and keeps the completion evidence attached to the same record.
Operational challenges
Where Facilities Management service loses time and money.
The situations below are where better information before and during the visit typically changes the outcome.
Vague multi-site requests
Requests arrive from site managers and tenants with little detail, across many buildings.
Contractors dispatched blind
The wrong trade or contractor is sent because nobody could see the issue first.
Unverifiable completion
Completion reports are brief, and supervisors visit sites only to check work was done.
Inconsistent contractor reporting
Every contractor documents work differently, by email, messaging or not at all.
Tenant and site-manager communication
People reporting issues have no clear way to show the problem or see the outcome.
Quality control across the estate
It is hard to compare standards between sites, contractors and regions.
How it works
Two guided workflows, introduced together or one at a time.
Customer video before dispatch, and technician video during the visit. The person recording opens a link in their phone browser.
Before dispatch — customer or site contact
- 1Site manager or tenant reports an issue
- 2Receives a secure guided link
- 3Records the location, the issue and access conditions
- 4Helpdesk reviews and assesses remotely
- 5Resolve, schedule planned work, or dispatch the right contractor
During the visit — technician or contractor
- 1Contractor opens the guided completion workflow
- 2Records condition found
- 3Captures work performed
- 4Records condition left and checklist
- 5FM team reviews completion remotely
Commercial benefits
What it can change in your operation.
Faster maintenance triage
Assess requests remotely and dispatch the right trade, or none, across every site.
Visual proof of completion
Contractors submit structured before-and-after evidence attached to the job.
Fewer verification visits
Supervisors review completion remotely and attend only where needed.
Consistent reporting
One defined evidence standard for every contractor, regardless of their own systems.
Results depend on your workflows, volumes and adoption. We measure them with you in a pilot rather than promise them in advance.
Worked example
Illustrative example — water ingress reported at a regional office
01 Problem
A site manager reports a ceiling stain and dripping water in a meeting room.
02 Capture
Through a guided link, the site manager films the ceiling, the room layout and the plant area above, and answers questions about when it started and whether it is getting worse.
03 Review
The FM helpdesk sees that the leak is near an HVAC condensate line rather than the roof.
04 Decision
A mechanical contractor is dispatched instead of a roofer, and asked to submit completion evidence through the same case.
05 Operational result
The right trade attends first time and completion is verified remotely. Illustrative scenario — not a client result.
Pilot invitation
Start with one workflow in your operation.
A typical starting point is reactive maintenance requests for one region or portfolio, with contractor completion evidence for the same jobs.
- We analyse the current process and agree a baseline
- We configure the guided capture and review steps
- Your team runs it on real cases with our support
- You decide on measured results whether to expand

The typical situation
Reports arrive as short text descriptions, the wrong trade is sent, and nobody can confirm afterwards what was actually done.
Who records the video
The site contact, tenant or building user reporting the issue, and the attending contractor.
What is captured
- The reported fault in context
- Location within the building
- Equipment or asset label
- Extent of damage or wear
- Access and safety constraints
- Completion evidence after the work

Common questions
What service teams usually ask first.
- Does the customer or site contact need to install anything?
- No. They open a link on their own phone and are guided through the capture steps in the browser. There is no app to download, no account to create and no live video call to join.
- What happens if the recording misses something?
- The service team can request a specific follow-up — a particular angle, the serial plate or an additional answer — through the same case, without starting again.
- How long does it take to get started?
- Implementation starts with one workflow. We configure the capture steps, questions and checklist for that workflow, connect it to how your team already works, and extend from there once it is running.
- Is this software or a service?
- It is software, licensed by subscription, with implementation included. Your team uses the platform; the people who record — customers, site contacts, technicians — need nothing installed.
