BUSINESS CHALLENGE
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Global Indian International School\u2019s FM team at their SMART campus was handling service requests via telephone, email, personal interaction, etc., and was managing escalations through email. Also, the FM team was managing their asset\/equipment maintenance operations, & mailroom activities manually which were highly time-consuming.<\/p>\n

Being one of the best schools in Singapore, GIIS wanted to automate all these manual operations in their SMART campus to optimize their FM operations while delivering an exceptional student experience on the campus.<\/p>\n

Global Indian International School leveraged its tech-savvy premises to create a world-class learning environment for its students and felt confident that choosing an effective facility management software will be the perfect complement to their SMART campus. So, GIIS reviewed multiple CAFM\/CMMS\/EAM products and after evaluations found eFACiLiTY\u00ae<\/sup> to be a perfect fit that fulfilled all their facility management requirements.<\/p>\n

eFACiLiTY\u00ae<\/sup> was implemented for GIIS in 2019 at their SMART campus to streamline the maintenance & helpdesk operations while handling incoming mails\/consignments efficiently.<\/p>\n

With eFACiLiTY\u00ae<\/sup> Smart Facility App, faculty was able to make helpdesk requests easily and technicians were allowed to manage work orders, report needs, validate asset details on the move, view asset histories, and resolve support calls on priority.<\/p>\n
