Building Owners

Building Owners can immediately benefit by implementing Building Start. The fastest ROIs are focused on better managing “Issues” and performing scheduled maintenance tasks; such as checking fire dampers or fire extinguishers. The fast ROI is accomplished by providing a “turn-key” platform to implement these annual checks that you otherwise pay a lot of money for. After mastering these annual checks as well as tracking “Issues” found in your building to completion, you can grow your use of the system to perform more detailed system checks across ALL of your equipment. We always encourage you to start right away, even if it’s just with a few pieces of key equipment and growing from your early success. What types of Building Owners benefit most?

Manufacturing

Manufacturing companies utilize Building Start for many activities. The two main types of activities that are most common for Manufacturers are performing routine line inspections and maintenance and Field installation inspections. Line inspections can be performed and documented digitally complete with user name and times stamps of who performed the quality control inspection. Additionally, if any problems are identified during the inspection, you can immediately and automatically create an “Issue” that needs to be repaired or replaced and track that to completion. Field installation inspections can vary, but anything from Factory Authorized installation and startup all the way to “exception reporting” of an improper installation. The power of field installation inspections is to help you identify when equipment is defective and or training needs to be improved on certain equipment installations. By digitally performing startup of the equipment in the field, we can also help you head off warranty claims at the earliest possible time.
