Contract Win - Knight Frank
Crimson Tide plc is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with
global property consultancy Knight Frank to provide its mobile data system,
mPro. The new system will assist with the consultancy's facilities management
and replace its current paper-based operation. As well as providing significant
cost and time savings, it also closely monitors the progress of maintenance and
repair operations.
The agreement is for an initial pilot within a small number of Knight Frank
managed properties with the potential to roll out the programme further in due
course. The website/smartphone based system is used for tracking the repair and
maintenance of electrical, air-conditioning, plumbing, lighting, power and other
facilities within Knight Frank managed premises. The smartphone, website and
services are all provided on a monthly subscription basis.
Tenants report problems via phone or email to Knight Frank's helpdesk, where
they are delegated to one of a number of specialist contractors. At the current
trial sites contractors' operatives come to the office and pick up details of
outstanding jobs for the day. They then travel to the location, record arrival
time and either complete the job or, if parts are required, mark it as 'parked'.
Signatures, dates, times and comments are written on forms alongside each job
title. At the end of the day, engineers return to the office and hand back
completed job sheets. These are collated and monthly performance reports created
for Knight Frank and its contractors. The Crimson Tide mPro solution means that
all reports are auto generated, enabling real time interaction with operatives
and removing the need for them to return to the office for further instruction.
Executive Chairman, Barrie Whipp commented: 'We are delighted to be working with
such a prestigious company as Knight Frank. Our mPro system will enable the
company's facilities management operatives to complete any scheduled and
emergency task in a more timely and organised manner.'
Knight Frank is the latest in a series of well-known brands and blue chip
companies making use of Crimson Tide's mobile data systems. Recent client wins
also include Marks & Spencer, which has commissioned a mobile reporting system
for use by cleaning contractors.
