Learn how SFW and Accendo® can save you money
|
|
SFW understands that every organization has its own property and facility management processes. These processes
are affected by multiple variables, such as industry, budget, philosophy and many more. Therefore, we believe that
cost savings will vary significantly from one organization to another. Nevertheless, we have identified several
clear benefits through feedback from our loyal clients. While sharing with you all of the ways in which our clients
have saved on costs would be impossible, we have identified a few that are common among most of our clients.

-
Tremendous cost savings in CAD-related expenses
-
Many of our clients find themselves having to use their architectural firms for simple planning;
this is now done easily with Accendo.
-
Often, organizations need a large printout of a portion of a drawing, typically an additional
CAD-related expense. Accendo allows them to print any area and of any size.

Space Management
-
Organizations use our system to free up to 75% of an employee's time by eliminating manual
space management activities.
-
Our clients have dramatically reduced the time needed to plan a sizable move of employees
from one place to another from two weeks to approximately 30 minutes.
-
By using Accendo's adjustable notification engine, our clients have improved their ability
to track all leasing information, such as vacant space or upcoming lease renewals.
-
By using Accendo's graphical interface, leasing agents are able to show specific properties to
a client on a virtual platform, saving significant time.

-
Reduce engineering costs — Fewer engineers are able to manage a higher number of properties
and take on more responsibilities
-
Searching for information is an engineer's most time-consuming task. The Accendo platform centralizes
all engineering information in one place, allowing quick access from anywhere and at any time. By
having engineering information at one's fingertips, a chief engineer is able to easily and effectively
oversee remote properties.
-
Some of our clients have reduced the cost and time that a service provider needs to fix a problem.
Accendo's ability to record both an asset's vital information and its issues help to quickly
communicate all of the relevant information that a service provider needs to fix the problem.
-
Responding to emergencies quickly and effectively
-
Through Accendo, quick identification of a shot-off valve (water, sprinklers, gas, electrical...) is
possible, allowing any employee with the appropriate privileges to respond to the emergency and
mitigate the problem immediately (even if the engineer is on a lunch break).
-
Real-time sharing of critical information with emergency responders reduces associated damages.
For example, in case of a fire, you can let your local fire department retrieve all fire-related
information, such as the location of hazardous material, evacuation routes, hydrants and more.

-
Significantly reduce your exposure to risk
-
The SFW Incidents module is one of the few tools in the industry that allows you to graphically
identify dangerous patterns at the earliest possible stage.
-
Share information with your insurance carrier and legal consuls at the earliest possible stage,
reducing potential legal costs.
-
Always obtain notifications regarding the compliance by tenants of insurance requirements,
and always have your own insurance certificates up to date.

-
Maintenance
-
Extend the life of your assets by keeping all related maintenance issues.
-
Quickly identify specific assets that have a higher breakdown rate.
-
The Accendo platform allows more precise identification of assets relating to a particular
maintenance issue, eliminating time-consuming mistakes and confusion.
