Have you ever had one of those days? You know, when you roll into your office first thing in the morning, turn on the light, and find that the bulb is burnt out? Then, of course, you trip over an overflowing trash can, and garbage tumbles all over the carpet AND your really nice, extremely expensive new shoes. You cant just leave the garbage there, so you bend down and shovel it all back into the can with your hands. Naturally, someone left yesterdays lunch (soggy, oily fried chicken that is now growing a healthy layer of green fuzz) in the rubbish bin, and now its all over your hands. You go to wash your hands, but the water doesnt come out warm, and the sink is clogged. Shaking your dirty fingers of the cold water, you move in for a paper towel. Guess what? There arent any. That leaves you no choice but to wipe your greasy, stinky hands on your suit pants that you dont have time to change before your date later that night, and you go back to work, angry like the wolf.
Ever had one of those days?
Days like these are when work order tracking software could really come in handy: Software that provides easy request forms that are available to anyone in your office, automatic syncing to give your team mobility and keep them connected, a centrally located maintenance list, and instant notifications to keep you and your team in the loop...sounds great, doesn't it?
There are millions of things that could go wrong and require maintenance attention in your office, but here's a short list:
- Fire alarm doesnt work
- Garbage cans overflow
- Sink is clogged
- A/C is broken
- Doors or locks get jammed
- Water heater goes out
- Michael Scott, your manager, rolls through with a crazy, after-hours party and trashes the place
- Light bulbs burn out
- Carpets needs cleaning
- Toilet is clogged
- There is no toilet paper
- The security system is faulty
Bad, right? It doesn't need to be. There are plenty of ways these crises can be easily averted. You guessed it: Work Order Tracking Software.
Absolutely True Facts...mostly
Did you know that the temperature of a room is directly correlated to productivity? 77 degrees, for maximum productivity, is hard to maintain if you don't promptly and efficiently put in a work order to fix the air conditioning (see how important temperature is to productivity here).
Did you know that a happy worker is a productive worker (take a look at this blog)? Did you know that its scientifically impossible to be happy when the toilet is clogged, and you have old fried chicken on your shoes? Okay, maybe that part isn't true. But the rest of it is.
Work order tracking software makes it easy for you to track things that need to be maintained around your office on a daily basis. With this software, the problems that make it hard for you or your employees to be productive and happy are resolved more quickly and more efficiently.
The Office: Alternate Universe
Consider this scenario. You roll into your office, first thing in the morning, you turn on the light, and it flickers on, exactly like its supposed to. Then, you walk past the completely empty garbage can, whistling a happy tune, ready to move on with your day. You take off your jacketbecause the room is a comfortable, 77 degrees Fand you get down to work. Later, you head to the bathroom. The toilet flushes, the water in the sink is warm, you get your hands clean, and there are paper towels ready at your disposal. Later, after a productive day at work, you put your jacket back on, meet up with the smokin hot date youve been looking forward to all day, and you look good. The date goes well. Youre happy. Your date is happy. You come back to work the next day happy, and that makes your boss happyeveryone is happy, and then world peace is achieved.
