The ALMA enterprise resource planning system is suitable for comprehensive real estate management in case of real estate subject to stricter than usual requirements to technical functions and operational reliability.
For example, in case of industrial production real estate, the engineering functions of building services such as heating, water, sewerage, ventilation, and electrical and automation systems (HVACEA) are often connected to the building automation system and/or production process. In such a case, the requirements to the reliability of building services equipment are emphasised. In technically demanding office buildings, management of lease agreements is often added to the equation.
In case of the most technically demanding real estate, investments, alteration work, daily maintenance, and long-term renovation plans must be under strict control of the organisation responsible for real estate management.
If you strive for profitability, predictability, user-friendliness, value retention, and real estate management throughout its life cycle when managing your real estate assets, ALMA will help you do it with knowledge and take control of real estate management as a whole.
ERP system for the real estate industry
Real estate assets must be managed in a controlled and considered manner. This ensures retention of their value and keeping operating costs under control. Documentation of long-term plans, alteration work, and investments must be under strict control of the organisation. The ALMA enterprise resource planning system helps with data management in the real estate industry.
Why is ALMA a good choice for the technical real estate industry?
Maintaining technically advanced real estate assets requires processing of huge amounts of data, including, for example, equipment fleets, maintenance manuals, repairs, technical data, safety regulations, and lease agreements. Efficient data management is a prerequisite to operation.
The ALMA real estate assets management solution allows efficient management of all real estate-related data and documentation and effortless sharing of the data with those concerned.
ALMA allows a life cycle-based approach to real estate, as the data of buildings and premises can be examined throughout their existence, on different levels of hierarchy, and are up to date.
Digitalise and enhance data management
Digitalisation enhances data management. With ALMA, you can document all the equipment and equipment components present at your real estate, as well as their location and condition starting in the design or construction phase already. A single report will provide an overview of immediate repair needs and long-term planning details.
Combine the systems
A single integrated solution for the entire life cycle of your real estate, including project management, document management, and maintenance, as well as electricity, automation, and IT data management. ALMA will not compel you to arrange real estate maintenance into a mere equipment hierarchy. With ALMA, the operation of your real estate can be represented from the perspective of equipment hierarchy, process hierarchy, or circuit diagrams, for example. Unlimited dependencies can be established between these technical areas.
Be prepared for the things to come
Real estate is developing, becoming more automated and more complicated. Efficient real estate management in the future requires managing the whole. Anticipate and make sure your real estate asset management system is already scalable and secure, while being suitable for seamless data sharing.
The ALMA enterprise resource planning system brings completely new data and event management possibilities to technical and complex real estate entities (data centres, hospitals, industry).
The most important features for the real estate sector
ALMA will provide you with a real-time overview of the technical condition of your real estate and of the real estate maintenance tasks required in the short and long term.
ALMA comes with the following features facilitating real estate management:
- The ALMA project bank replaces separate project banks in the preliminary planning phase already and no separate data transfer is required after the project
- The operation and maintenance manual of the real estate is created during the project already
- Documentation of real estate source data, official regulations
- Organisations, areas of responsibility and persons responsible
- Maintenance instructions
- Maintenance-related fault monitoring, work planning and preventive maintenance
- Real estate consumption monitoring
- Remote real estate supervision over the web
- Management of lease agreements and of their terms and documentation
- Monitoring of occupancy rate and of other leasing activity key figures
- Guidance and facilitation of own operations supervision required under quality and environmental systems
Building services engineering (HVACEA) documentation
The most important functions of building services engineering include the real estate’s heating, water, sewerage, ventilation, electrical and automation systems (HVACEA). In case of industrial real estate, building services engineering functions are often linked to the building automation system.
ALMA operates as a system that gathers building services engineering data and documentation. If the customer also needs to manage the maintenance and care activity of its real estate, it can be efficiently implemented under the same integrated system as well.
ALMA’s HVACEA solutions allow managing the data of standalone systems and upkeep thereof:
- Central heating system, heat distribution network
- Water distribution, piping network with accessories
- Ventilation system with equipment
- Real estate power supply, including switchboards and cabling
- Control, adjustment, supervision, and protection equipment for all the above systems
