The holidays are just around the corner. There are a lot of things that a building supervisor has to keep in mind when preparing for trouble and allocating staff for the holidays—and we’re not just talking about vacation time here, though that can be a factor. Here are four reasons to make sure you’ve got CMMS software humming along in your back pocket during the holidays:

 

Mall crowds

If you manage a mall property, Thanksgiving and Black Friday are bound to cause you problems. Broken doors, overflowing trash bins and elevators that break down from overuse are just some of the possibilities that you will need to address as soon as possible, and instant communication and staff re-assignment to trouble spots is easy with CMMS. Even if nothing else goes wrong, the sheer volume of shoppers (and “all store clerks on deck”) will mean that you need to increase your scheduled maintenance frequency for all those bathrooms.

 

Holiday decorations

No matter how well taped, glued and stapled those decorations might be, some of them are bound to fall—or be pulled down—at some point during the holiday shopping season. Again, being able to quickly pull out your phone and assign someone to fix things while you keep walking your route will be a time-saver for everyone.

 

Holiday pranksters

Perhaps you’ve seen the video of the light-hearted teens who decorated people in the mall last year. There’s also the possibility that bored teenagers might decide to take things one step further and pull a prank that needs cleaning up ASAP. Just imagine for a moment what kids could decide to hide within the gingerbread house or Santa’s workshop….

 

Vacation rescheduling

Just because half your staff wants to take a vacation doesn’t mean the tasks can wait til next week. CMMS software is the easiest way to make sure that you’ve got all the essential tasks covered, so contact us today to learn more. This way you yourself might actually be able to take a day off, too!
