Whether you
are a tenant, building manager, service technician, or a
facility manager in a property management company, Communicator
makes it easier for you to get your job done.
Communicator is a powerful tool for all of your service
request and dispatch needs, managing the entire work flow, from
reporting a service problem to documenting its resolution.
Instead of being at the mercy
of the slower and sometimes limiting method of placing, tracking
and documenting service calls by phone,
this
easy-to-use tool
allows you to manage your
service requests online. Here is an example of an ideal
situation where all parties use E-Manager WorkSites: (1) a
tenant in a building needs a plumbing repair and places a
service request on the E-Manager WorkSite's Communicator
for the building property manager. (2) The property manager can
choose to forward or assign the request to an internal user
such as technician on staff or to an external user such
as an external service provider (electrician, plumber, etc).
(3) The internal or external user views the service request,
including urgency and instructions. (4) As the work progresses,
the dispatcher tracks it on the WorkSite, giving the customer an
instant update on work status. (5) Reports can also be printed
out for anyone who needs them.
Communicator is an ideal tool
to use whenever two or more parties need to create and track
actions. You create a network of user who all have a vested
interest in a successful outcome. All users can clearly see the
status of any request, and the tool gives everyone the
opportunity to ask additional questions, post clarifying
information, and really understand what is taking place.
The types of information you
can share, and the types of people you can include in your
process is limited only by your imagination.
Communicator can handle such
widely varying needs as requesting quotations, responding to
monitored alarms, and assigning preventive maintenance tasks.
It tracks who an action is assigned to, what the current status
of that action is, keeps records of everyone who has updated the
action, and finally when the action is completed, keeps an
archive of the work that can be referenced later.
If you are a contractor or facilities manager
with a staff of service technicians, Communicator can be
particularly useful when used with the
Notifications
option on your WorkSite.
Field
technicians and other mobile employees can receive service
requests or other data easily on any text messaging device, such
as email, cell phones, personal digital assistants, or pagers.
