How Facilities Management Observatory Services can Enhance the operational efficiency of Property Developers and Managers
How do you Measure the Performance of your Service Providers?
Effective facilities management is proven to deliver real benefits to organisations in terms of reducing costs and attracting and retaining customers. However it is an extremely competitive and fast-changing market. Property Developers and Managers need to be continually improve the quality of their facilities and services while keeping costs low. Property Developers usually enlist the services of multiple service providers to provider multiple services as part of facilities services.
These include guest (Visitors Management Services) outsourced to security service providers together with protective security services, cleaning and Maintenance services. Service providers are usually contracted independently for a given term. Service level agreements form part of contractual obligations between the contracted service providers. However, property developers and managers face challenges in monitoring and ensuring that minimum service levels are met by contracted service providers. Some of the challenges that exist are highlighted herein:
- Difficulty in accounting for the footfall of all individuals accessing your facilities (visitors and residents). Such data is necessary inputs required to measure the utilization of your property resources such as energy, water, sanitary supplies etc.
- Objectively measuring the performance of service providers. For instance how do you ensure that the security guard tours and patrols conducted by security services providers meet and comply with minimum service level requirements?
- Minimizing costs attributed to oversupply of services or costs risks raised by under provision of the same services.
To bridge the gaps above, property developers and facilities managers need intelligence and information regarding the performance of services provided by their contracted services.Such information will help them identify and highlight risks before they escalate. It also helps them continually improve the quality of their facilities and service operations to meet customer needs. It best if independent sources are leveraged on for such data since It is difficult to get objective and correct data and information from the service providers themselves.
