The client is one of the top 10 post-secondary educational institutions in the U.S., with over 100 locations. The client wanted to retain its existing CMMS software platform but needed to extend its capabilities to better facilitate an asset management program. The client sought a partner to establish a technology roadmap. Needs included system integration and guidance for establishing analytics to capture additional value from existing processes and platforms. The client partnered with Geospatial Analytics to leverage its extensive track record in system integration, analytics, and strong project team credentials.
The client wanted to maintain its existing computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) but needed enhanced capabilities. It sought to create a portfolio level asset management program that would produce a reliable capital budget , save money, and manage risk. Geospatial Analytics was able to successfully provide an integrated solution that met client requirements and expectations.
To address the lack of needed information on equipment inventory, Geospatial Analytics helped the client implement a mobile inspection form that created a consistent method of data capture and condition evaluation.
Geospatial Analytics configured the inspection template to specific items that the client required. The client was able to make immediate changes to the template as new requirements were identified.
The client quickly and easily deployed the tool without the need for significant support. The intuitive user interface minimized the need for training.
The team deemed that leveraging the existing CMMS software platform was an essential element of the plan.
The client needed to obtain field data from the inspections, create new records in the CMMS system, and update existing records.
The ability to transfer data from the CMMS platform to the Geospatial Analytics InSite Platform was also a requirement to provide a baseline for the intended asset management program.
The client’s existing sourcing efforts for end–of-life replacements could not be optimized due to the segmented approach used across the portfolio.
To remedy this, the client wanted an asset management program that could consistently and objectively track assets’ original value, condition, and life expectancy to properly manage risk.
The implemented asset management program enabled creation of scenarios that provided decision support to optimize service levels and create a reliable capital budget and related forecast.
