GIS Integration

The Axxerion GIS integration module helps you to keep track of property locations and analyze your geographical coverage. The GIS integration works with free maps provided by Google Maps and ESRI ArcGIS. Property locations and parcel shapes are displayed on a street map or on a topographic map, and you can quickly switch between map types. The thematic mapping functions enable you to set the color of markers and shapes based on different parameters such as occupancy, energy usage or sales status.

Key Features:

Display Locations: Property locations are displayed as markers on a map. You can specify a different marker shape for each property or property type. This gives you a visual impression of the geographical coverage of your property portfolio.

Graphical Navigation: You can quickly find a property with the pan and zoom options on the map. When you point at a property, a window with key information is displayed. When you click on the symbol the property data sheet opens.

Display Parcel Boundaries: One parcel can include multiple properties, and one property can include multiple parcels. You can graphically show the parcel boundaries on a map by entering the GPS coordinates of parcel corners, the line style and the color.

Selecting Views: You can specify a default map view, for example the street view, satellite view or the topographic view. You can optionally define secondary views and switch views with one mouse click.

Selecting Maps: Google Maps and ESRI ArcGIS are currently supported as map providers. These maps are free of charge and no additional license is needed. More detailed maps with demographic information or soil composition can be licensed from map providers.

Key Management

Managing keys is a challenging task. After all, keys provide access to properties, spaces, cupboards or drawers that may contain items or information not intended for everyone. So it’s essential to be aware of which keys there are and who has them. The key management module allows you to manage the physical access of persons to spaces, properties and inventory. One or more locks can be created per object, where various locks may have the same access code (e.g. cylinder numbers).

Per key you will be able to determine which keys have access to which locks and who has been issued the key. The key management module has all the functionalities of the inventory module, allowing you to add photos and keep track of suppliers. The module can be adapted for each group of users by configuring access privileges for fields and functions. You will be able to specify your own procedures for the creation and editing of data using the workflow module. Functions specific to your organization can be added on request.

Spaces and Equipment: One or more locks can be assigned to each space or piece of equipment and you will be able to keep track of who has access to that specific space or piece of equipment.

Log: For each key, a record is kept of when and to whom it was issued. You will be able to see whether the key is still in use or when it was returned, enabling you to determine later who had access to a specific space at a specific point in time. The entire issuing and returning process can be managed using Axxerion.

Schematics: Locks can be made to appear on CAD schematics. The user will be able to retrieve information on cylinders, access codes and keys by clicking on the lock in the schematic.

Maintenance Management

Each type of maintenance requires a calculation of material costs and labor costs, allowing for a cost estimate to be drawn up. Real costs can be settled with the budget that was agreed upon in the maintenance agreement.

The module can be adapted to any group of users by configuring the access privileges to fields and functionalities. You will be able to specify your own procedures for the creation and editing of data using the workflow module. Functions specific to your organization can be added on request.

Evaluation: You can decide how timesheets ought to be approved, e.g. first by various project managers and subsequently by the department head.

Budget: Following the approval of the timesheets, the hours are written into the budget as costs and turnover. The projection of the total costs and turnover is updated based on the rate of progress and on the productive hours.

Invoicing: Invoices can be automatically generated once timesheets have been approved. They can be generated on a productive hours basis, or, in the case of fixed price projects, based on the rate of progress.

Project Planning: You can make an initial estimate of the number of hours required per project task, allowing for a projection of turnover and costs and systematic improvement of project planning by comparing projection to actual productive hours.

Work Order Management

The work order module allows you to keep track of the progress of work orders both inside and outside your organization – these can related to properties, spaces and inventory. Work orders can be carried out within a contractual framework, and a team of individuals can be assigned to a work order in order to manage those work orders, e.g. a work order manager and a contractor. With the module you can even create different work order categories, each with its own workflow. The module can be adapted for each user group by configuring the access privileges to field and functionalities. You can also specify any original procedures for the changing and creating of data using the workflow module. Any functionalities specific to your organization can be added on request.

Key Features:

Up-to-date Information: The status of the work order is easily accessible online to each participant in the work order process. The information is no longer saved spread across spreadsheets, emails and paper documents. Both requesting party, the contractor and the supplier have access the work orders. This is how supply chain integration can be easily achieved.

Contracts: Work orders can be generated within the framework of a contract. Checks can also be carried out to ensure that the execution met the contractual requirements.

Inventory: The work order module is entirely integrated with the inventory management module. If resources are used for a work order, stock is appropriately adapted. It may even arise that Axxerion can automatically begin generating purchase orders if stock comes under a fixed minimum level. Work orders for properties can, for example, be filled based on the results of a multiyear maintenance plan.

Quotations: Quotations can be generated within the framework of the work order, with the allocated resources and hours / manpower required.

Costs: The projected costs of a work order can be at any time be compared to the real costs. In addition, the projected hours can be compared to the real hours.

Documentation: Documents can be saved and attached to a work order, e.g. a schematic can be added to illustrate to results of the project.

Comment: Comments can be added at various stages of the workflow. Comments are tracked per person and by date, allowing for a complete timeline of the work order.
