Pre-Post after implementing TheHouseMonk
Challenges and Solution for Mahaveer Group
Results – Significant savings in resource post implementation of TheHouseMonk
TheHouseMonk facility management module has
helped address the problem of over-staffing of technical and housekeeping
staff.
Staff members include security, housekeeping, technicians and other staff members across 5 different residential projects
The staff are pre-assigned for recurring tasks via the business app which blocks their schedule and gives them an overview of their tasks for the day, facilitating proper utilization of schedules.
This has resulted in effective utilization of the staff and has led to a 40% reduction in technical staff and a 20% reduction in housekeeping staff.
Post completion of the work, technicians add a picture on the app which reduces the need for inspections by the facility managers from once a day to once a week.
The facility management module also helps in addressing maintenance issues of
each apartment unit which were done via phone or email.
Task automation helped facility managers in saving significant effort
Complaints can now be registered via the app which immediately alert the facility managers who assign personnel to address the issue.
Over 80% of complaints made via phone which were difficult to track are now resolved faster and over 90% of residents have now started using the app to raise tickets which has eliminated their frustration and trouble and made the whole system trackable.
Both the facility manager and technical staff have access to TheHouseMonk Business app which enables them to add pictures, discuss and view all tickets in a calendar view.
Manual entry at the gate which was time consuming and inaccurate is now made
easier as the security guards use the gate management app to register visitors
at the gate.
60% time saved at the gate due to faster visitor validation
Visitors are logged in via the
app through available categories such as Housekeeping, Delivery, Vendor or
Guest which eliminates the task of searching through the bundles of registers.
Recurring visitors such as
stuff which include technicians, supervisors and housekeeping can also be
logged in with one click via the app, which saves time spent by the stuff at
the gate. This also tracks their attendance.
In the past, the residents paid via cash,
cheque or online transfer after which the transaction ID had to the be E-mailed
to the facility manager, who would verify and confirm its success or failure
through recurrent calls and E-mails.
This tedious process has become easier
because of TheHouseMonk resident’s app through which
Payments can be made online and
facility managers can send reminders and invoices in bulk with just a click.
Over 75% of residents now make
payments through their phone via the app and get receipts for the same
instantly.
The accounting module in the app outputs
standard accounting reports such as journals and balance sheets which eliminate
the need of an accountant.
