Fast Track Digital Signage optimises data for different data levels, including buildings (such as at front desks), floors (such as lift lobbies) and rooms (such as door signs). Fast Track Digital Signage provides for different form factors, being able to accommodate PC’s, tablets, Plasma Screens and large-format TV’s. Investing in proprietary Digital Signage hardware can be expensive, with quite high costs for maintenance and obsolete hardware.
Fast Track Digital Signage utilises a wide range of quality devices, which provide high value and low cost.

Sometimes it can seem like a good idea to use generic names to set up contractors, so as not to have to perform large scale SLA data configurations when contractors change. Names like CARPENTERS, PEST-CONTROL, PAINTERS, etc., are self-explanatory, and actual contractor business data can be recorded in the details. The problem is that analysis may not easily indicate who really did the work; an annual overdue count analysis might be fine if the same painters were used throughout the year, but what if several different carpenters were used in the period.

Using a maintenance management system for reactive and planned maintenance leads to the creation of important asset data. Asset job history, performance, costs and life expectancy can all emerge for analysis. The latest CAFM (computer-aided facilities management) tools allow access to this data via building CAD plans. Interrogate your assets, and ask to be shown graphically where poorly performing assets are located. Find out more about CAD and ASSET DATA working together:

Outlook is by far the most popular software for scheduling meetings. Fast Track Room Booking for Outlook is an app which allows staff to book rooms, invite attendees, select catering and A/V equipment, and inform service providers, all directly from Outlook.
Use of Outlook for most tasks provides a significant benefit to management, in that staff can use the Outlook app without training. To see bookings and appointments being made from Outlook CLICK HERE to see the OVERVIEW MOVIE
As well as pattern booking by weekday or day of month, basket booking allows pick and choose, but catering, A/V equipment, etc. are assigned to all bookings in the basket.
If a series of similar meetings are to be booked, with similar attendees and guests, similar catering, etc., but they are in different locations around the city, a basket booking will package the bookings, even thought they are in different locations.
Compress PPM Tasks for multiple assets into one job, but track and update assets uniquely. Compress tasks of the same type for assets in the same location on the same day. Compress by building or site.
The optimum resolution at which to track PPM assets can be far from obvious, and getting it wrong can require expensive restructuring with a contract in motion. The Fast Track team and partners can advise on how best to structure PPM asset data, with options being:
* Track each asset
* Track each asset and its sub-assets
* Track similar items in a building as one asset
* Track similar items at a site as one asset
