BIPROGY has officially launched its new 'Medium to Long-Term Maintenance Plan and Budget Management Solution' today, aimed at enhancing efficiency in building and facility management while optimizing lifecycle costs. The essence of preventative maintenance planning is to ensure that assets like buildings and infrastructure are maintained in good condition over the long term by strategically planning for repairs and renovations in advance.
By forecasting the timing and costs of repairs on a segment-by-segment basis, property managers and owners can conduct maintenance in a calculated, long-term manner, thereby aiming to sustain asset value and reduce costs. However, challenges arise for management companies and owners due to the scattered nature of information such as each asset's useful life, inspection records, and malfunction history. This fragmentation complicates the planning and management of medium- to long-term projects.
The new solution allows property management companies and owners to automatically generate long-term maintenance plans, from which they can prioritize essential repairs. Additionally, feedback from past projects assists in making decisions concerning revisions to future project plans, greatly enhancing operational efficiencies and also contributing to optimal lifecycle cost management.
Overview of the Solution
Since 2018, BIPROGY has offered 'Archibus,' a comprehensive workplace management system that centralizes the management of facility and asset information, providing visibility across all aspects of building management. The new solution leverages an extended module for medium- to long-term project plans developed by its official partner, IceSquared Inc., integrating it with BIPROGY's support services for Archibus implementation.
By utilizing the combined capabilities of this solution with Archibus, management companies and owners are empowered to select priority repairs from automatically generated long-term maintenance plans. They can also access project feedback to make informed revisions to future project plans. Consequently, this approach facilitates the optimal allocation of lifecycle cost budgets and minimizes unnecessary maintenance expenditures.
Benefits of the Solution
For Property Management Companies:
This solution streamlines operations when presenting maintenance proposals to building owners. By linking various datasets such as useful life tables and malfunction histories, necessary information regarding facility equipment can be quickly extracted from equipment ledgers. Furthermore, the ability to efficiently prepare graphs, summary tables, and proposals that align with annual budgeting and planning discussions aids in delivering timely and suitable maintenance recommendations to property owners.
For Building Owners:
The solution significantly enhances efficiency in maintenance planning and project management tasks. By setting up equipment lists and renewal cycles, the system can automatically generate long-term maintenance plans. It can also integrate information from other management systems, simplifying the development of annual budgets and project plans. Owners can effectively manage budget adjustments, such as accelerating or postponing expenditures, and also track project progress seamlessly. Accurate maintenance planning ultimately leads to the preservation and elevation of long-term asset value.
Future Initiatives
BIPROGY aims to improve the operational efficiency of building management for property managers and owners, ultimately driving increased asset value and revenue. By ensuring the safety of facilities and equipment, BIPROGY envisions a society where users can confidently utilize buildings and infrastructures.
