SAN RAMON, Calif., June 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In a
mobile-centric era and a "do more with less" directive in the built
space to be more efficient and productive, ARC Document Solutions
(NYSE: ARC) launched an interactive, online value calculator that
enables facilities, engineering and maintenance management teams to
quantify the financial impact of incorporating mobile facilities
dashboards into their operations. Based on usage to date, annual
cost savings average six-figures and can exceed a million dollars
or more depending on the size of the facility and facilities
staff.
The costs of acquiring new building management tools often
cannot be compared to the savings they will generate, which delays
or even prevents meaningful process improvements. Entering criteria
such as the number of buildings managed, staff size, hours worked,
retiring workers, and the impact of emergencies and catastrophes
will generate a customized report based on comparisons to
industry-average estimates from building management surveys and
trade group research.
The comprehensive, customized 4-page PDF report is free of
charge, and is generated online within a few minutes.
"The ARC value calculator is a powerful tool that helps FMs
explain the value of mobile solutions and mobile facilities
dashboards to their budget approvers, and gain insights into their
operations so they can discover for themselves where they can find
additional operational savings," stated Brian Bailard, EVP of ARC Technology Solutions,
a unit of ARC Document Solutions. "While facility teams can expect
to achieve cost savings and increased productivity on day-to-day
tasks; they will also be equipped to actively mitigate risks during
emergencies with instant access to building information and
emergency plans. It's our goal to help the built space modernize
their operations to allow for greater efficiency, productivity and
resiliency."
The calculator provides industry-average cost-savings estimates
based on proprietary market research. The baseline industry
standards for the value calculator were established with data
gathered from 179 Facilities Directors and Managers in August 2017 when ARC partnered with AIIM Research
to conduct an industry survey.
"Whether managing an educational institution, hospital or
commercial property, all too often FMs lack insights into their
operations," said Todd Moore,
national director of facilities technology at ARC. "This free, cost
avoidance tool provides guidance on industry standards, facilitates
visibility into operations gaps and helps management identify
opportunities to more efficiently manage their buildings."
ARC Mobile Facilities Dashboards are designed to improve
productivity, reduce costs and mitigate the risk of catastrophes by
enabling anytime, anywhere access to building information by
facilities professionals. The Dashboards also help eliminate the
avoidable costs of unleveraged warranties and overtime while
enabling succession planning, improving customer service delivery
and accelerating employee onboarding.
