Problem
Solutions  by InnoMaint
In response to their request, Innomaint provided a tailored solution to their kitchen equipment and facility maintenance management needs.

The key aspects of the solution include:

  • Categorization of Equipment: All restaurant kitchen equipment and facility-related assets were meticulously mapped and categorized into distinct groups based on their type and function.

The categorization was the initial step toward clear visibility of asset details, maintenance history, and tracking. It ensured that each asset received individual attention for unique and optimal maintenance.

  • Team Allocation: The asset segregation laid the groundwork for the best allocation of maintenance tasks to technicians based on skill set, staff availability, and insights into the current workload.

The Geo-Fencing feature enables only the techs within the Geo-Fencing circle to accept tasks. It comes in handy in cases where urgent fixes are required.

It paved the way for a streamlined workflow, reducing operational inefficiencies.

  • Enhanced Task Visibility: The solution improves visibility into the tasks assigned to each maintenance technician. The administrative team can easily monitor who is responsible for each task, recurring issues, and maintenance performance of the branch and compare it easily with the performance of other locations.
  • Work order transparency: Such transparency helps track and accelerate the progress of maintenance work orders. Maintenance managers can view the maintenance metrics with a single glance at the Dashboard.

All updations on maintenance transactions and work order progress are saved on centralized cloud servers. Such a highly reliable setup leaves no opportunity for data reference errors. All team members are on the same page regarding their responsibilities.

  • SLA-Based Work Order Management: With Innomaint’s system, work orders are managed based on predefined Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

Maintenance supervisors can track technician tasks in real time, ensuring the completion of maintenance activities within the agreed-upon timelines.

It contributes to the smooth running of operations with minimal downtime. With timely maintenance interventions, equipment uptime and performance improved noticeably.

How an Eatery in Dubai Overthrew Excel going in for Mobile Maintenance

How an Eatery in Dubai Overthrew Excel going in for Mobile Maintenance

Image
A leading New England brasserie company in Dubai gained a good reputation as a neighborhood eatery designed with a retro-vintage effect. The restaurant features a bar, contemporary style kitchen, crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, swimming pool with a play area for teens and kids. 

As a perfect blend of period fidelity and contemporary gloss they serve meal salads, artisan sandwiches, pizzas, and pudding, fresh fish and sea food. The restaurant has appeared in the news of prominent magazines like The National, TimeOut, Vogue Man, Traveler, etc. 

Industry Food
Location Dubai

Problem Statement

The restaurant was maintaining all the asset details in excel sheets. The eatery has numerous cooking and kitchen assets and electronic assets. It lacked a proper solution for service requests, emergency failures, spare management, and quality controls.

Further, management was unable to measure maintenance progress. There was no proper record of what work had been done to which asset.

When evaluating a cloud-based maintenance software, they looked for one solution to track all the culinary assets in all branches and manage the spare parts inventory.

The restaurant employs maintenance workers at the main branch. In case of any incident(equipment failure) or service requirement, the branch managers called for the main branch. 

The managers at branches manually approved the paper quote submitted by technicians. 

The senior management wished to have genuine data on work estimates/costs for jobs. 

So they were looking for a digital solution to record all the maintenance operations on assets automatically and trace maintenance history easily and quickly. 

Problem

Solutions  by InnoMaint

InnoMaint team recommended its Field Service Management(FSM) software as it would be a perfect fit for their unique maintenance requirement. The workflow automated the entire manual process. The application provided a mobile app for all users. 

Any authorized employee across the branches with access to the mobile app can easily create a service request for hard and soft services. They conveyed the work to be done clearly with photo, video, and voice attachments. 

The maintenance manager at the main branch received the service request, reviewed it, and converted it as Quoted work with a customized quote. 

The manager at the source branch approved the quote. Upon approval, the maintenance manager at main branch auto-assigned a technician to the work order based on expertise, experience, and availability. The cloud-based web and mobile application provided updated information on technician availability and the current workload of the technician before assigning tasks.

The managers at the branch location tracked how close the techs were to their job site with Geo Location tracking along with the route. 

The application stored all the information on quotes and payments for later reference. Managers can view the maintenance tasks planned for the day, week, month, or year from a calendar view and create schedules from the calendar view. The Dashboard provided clear information on the progress of work orders, technician performance, asset performance, etc.

Since subscribing to InnoMaint, the brasserie has been using the application actively as it is easy to use by everyone from the mobile and web. Our good customer support translated into quick and voluntary adoption.

As all the information on assets resided on the cloud, techs easily accessed them with a simple QR code scan using their mobile. The work transparency and data storage were a class apart from Excel spreadsheets.

Solution

Results

  • Complete track of preventive and corrective work orders 
  • Precise tracking of time spent on maintenance 
  • Knowledge of the amount spent on spare purchases and replacements
  • Clear visibility and tracking of assets across all three restaurants.
  • Every operation is recorded automatically and retrievable on demand.
