Computer Aid Facitily Mngt System: Urbest tops the league
As said above, the reporting of problems is often a bottleneck in traditional systems whereby one will see the problem and will have to call/email/ or phone the helpdesk to report it. Not with Urbest. One can do it directly via its mobile-app. And this is empowering the user, giving the chance to participate in making the building a building users want to be proud of. Personally I was impressed by how easy it is to get going with the software. From taking the decision to having it running, no more than a week passed by. In fact, a couple of days after the decision, I was already accessing the software and setting up the few bits and pieces needed. A week after everyone in my organisation could go ahead and use it.
Pros
The fact this software isn't presented as a traditional software. It is a service ; it is there ; it runs. You barely have anything to do to get it going for your organisation. That's the beauty of an easy-to-use software that sits in the cloud and can be accessed as a software-as-a-service. The graphic is great and minimalist so you see things. You don't have to learn it to get going. Simple is key and that's the main adjective to it. KISS: Keep it Simple and Straightforward fits this software perfectly. And when it comes to its core, it is great as it captures the information at source: it gives the user who sees the problem to report it directly in the system there and then. And that is the essence of a good system where the whole community is involved and one can see how her/his issue is resolved in near real time.
Cons
Difficult to fault this software. Yes maybe it doesn't have all the features of a Maximo (IBM) or Planon but do we need these features? No.

Best,
Team Urbest
Urbest is the innovation all modern Facilties Management companies needed yesterday
It has solved the issue of giving building users self service reporting, not going through antequated methods of calls/emails.
It has resolved the issue of being unable to capture ongoing feedback from users on our request resolution and satisfaction.
It hasn't resolved our issue of having a slow/bulky CAFM that isn't lean in its workflow
Pros
The simplicity, user friendliness, modern approach and workflow.
It makes FM so simple it's a surprise that we didn't already switch to it. Giving a tool to all building users to report to FM teams their issues is like tracking a pizza order on domino's, everyone should have it.
Having a simple workflow for FM teams to organise and be faster at reacting/resolving in all transparency is a step towards even having a FM as a self service linked to a marketplace for independent ad hoc workers which is where the industry may go.
Cons
Integration with our existing CAFM is possible but the overlap of functionalities has made it difficult for our IS teams to draw the line. Integrating directly with our purchasing/finance system could be the solution but the build, dashboard, monitoring would need to be very robust for the teams to feel reassured.
It could/should do so much more as an FM app in the future e.g. geolocalisation, way finding, community building if Urbest doesn't want to be the app that just gets integrated into other ''sexier'' apps
Response from Urbest
Thanks Catriona! We understand the needs of customers and this is why we are building more things and expect to see very soon PO/Invoice management live in our product and a few more things up our sleeve. We look forward to helping Bouygues UK strengthen it's portfolio and services.
Urbest is a key component for us in order to organise, plan, and get feedbacks.
Urbest enables us to keep a close contact to the final users of this solution, and to keep every task in mind.
Pros
Easy to use, and very efficient to have an overview of all actions to prepare for all sites. Filters are really usefull to compartiment all tasks.
Cons
Some features like a planning could be usefull in order to plan in advance some tasks.
Response from Urbest
Thanks Alexis!
We appreciate your feedback!
Stay tuned as we are working on delivering (in the next few months) the ability to plan tasks!
A user friendly revolution in task management software
It creates a good collaborative environment for managing tasks and issues. In the examples I have seen the introduction of Urbest has typically led to work being completed 20 - 30% faster than before, with higher satisfaction in the end result.
Pros
The strengths of this software are that it is very easy to implement and to use. It is easy to onboard service providers. You can see the status of all tasks at any point of time. It automates the collection and presentation of feedback on work done. Both planned and reactive work can be supported.
Cons
The issue to be aware of is that it is not a comprehensive facilities management solution, with lots of additional different modules. Its strength is task management, if that is what you want, it will do it well.
Response from Urbest
Thanks Trevor! We look forward to bringing even more value to our users, so stay tuned for some exciting things ahead!

Avis urbest
Gain de temps et meilleur suivi depuis l'installation sur le site.retours de clients positif.
Plusieurs options pourraient etre rajoutées
Comme la gmao ( sam fm ) qui permettrais un suivi plus poussé et une aide en plus pour nous mainteneurs a l edition de nos rapports client.
Comme une meilleure localisation des lieux d'interventions ( plan de batiment, d etage et de bureaux ).
Voir si possible de faire un QR codes pour des demandes d interventions sans besoin de cree un compte.

Premet un suivi des interventions sur sites.
