Faster service and concrete measures to save energy
Granlund Manager is a tool for property management and reporting – and in the latter, both for the owner and tenants of the property. The target is also to transfer service requests to maintenance technicians faster than before, which can decrease the response times significantly. With Granlund Manager, Are can take concrete measures to save energy
“Granlund Manager is used by our service organization as a service request channel and an energy reporting tool. It is also used as a budgeting and monitoring tool for investments and repairs. The system gives to our customers and us visibility and control. Everyone in our organization knows exactly the status of the tasks, and what to do next,” says Sergey Khotyanovsky, Property Manager of OOO Are.
Are’s active role in smooth implementation
The cooperation between Are and Granlund Manager started already in autumn 2016. Are has been active in building the content in the system, supported by the Granlund Manager team
“We had the user training in last autumn, and after that we have organized Skype meetings to further support the implementation. This way we can make sure that the deployment goes smoothly and really gives additional value to the everyday process,” assures Otto Åkerberg, Regional Manager of Granlund.
