Enterprise Service Management for Facilities and Estates

Facilities and estates service management software brings requests, incidents, planned maintenance and asset information onto one platform. Alemba Service Manager (ASM) helps estates teams move from reactive firefighting to consistent, measurable service delivery: work is logged, prioritized, approved and completed the same way every time, whether it's a broken access reader, a leaking pipe or a space move.

What Facilities and Estates can deliver with ASM

With configurable self-service and mobile-friendly workflows, occupants raise issues quickly and track progress without chasing emails, while facilities teams gain visibility of workload, SLA performance and accountability across internal teams and contractors.

A Facilities-only portal for building occupants

A branded self-service portal gives occupants a simple, focused way to get Facilities support without navigating IT or other service areas.

  • Report Facilities incidents, request standard services and view clear status updates from one homepage
  • Facilities FAQs and self-help articles reduce calls and email
  • Major incident notices (outages, access restrictions) let occupants confirm whether they are affected, helping the team gauge impact and target updates
  • An embedded AI-driven chatbot uses the Facilities knowledge base to recommend the right form and collect key details up front

Mobile field operations with ASM Nano

ASM Nano turns ASM into a practical in-the-field tool, so engineers and supervisors manage work orders wherever they are: plant rooms, wards, campuses or multi-site estates.

  • Pick up assignments with priority, target times, site details and full job context before arriving
  • Update work as it happens: start/stop, status, notes, photos and evidence for compliance or audit
  • Complete inspection checklists, record readings, confirm parts used, document temporary vs permanent fixes
  • Escalate, create follow-on tasks or route work to specialists and contractors in real time

Office moves and resource scheduling under control

Moves are a coordination exercise across people, places and time. ASM's office move workflow creates one controlled process from request to completion.

  • A structured move request is routed for the right approvals through the Facilities portal
  • The workflow breaks the move into tasks with dates, owners and dependencies
  • The Resource Scheduler allocates teams and contractors to time slots, avoiding clashes and balancing workloads across sites
  • Stakeholders stay informed with real-time visibility of what's on track, blocked or needs attention

When minutes matter

Priority resolution of physical security incidents

ASM treats physical security faults, such as broken doors, locks, windows or access controls, as high-risk incidents that demand immediate action.

Risk-based prioritization

Configurable risk and priority rules automatically assess impact and urgency by factors like location (main entrance, secure areas) and failure type, then apply escalations and tight response targets so nothing slips through the cracks.

Instant dispatch to the field

With ASM Nano, supervisors identify the nearest available agent and allocate the job in real time. Field staff receive the assignment instantly with full context, location details and safety notes, then capture photos and updates on site for a clear audit trail from report to resolution.

Why it matters

Benefits for Facilities and Estates teams

A single place to raise requests

Staff and building users log issues and requests through one portal, cutting phone calls and email chasing.

Consistent processes, less coordination

Standard workflows route work to the right teams, apply approvals and automate routine steps, the same way every time.

Reactive and planned maintenance

Manage break/fix work alongside preventative maintenance plans, reducing repeat faults and improving asset reliability.

Mobile working for field teams

Engineers receive and update jobs on the move, add notes and photos, and close work at the point of service.

Moves, space and workplace services

Office moves, room and desk services, and workplace requests, coordinated in the same platform.

Visibility, reporting and governance

Dashboards and performance reporting track workload, response times and service levels, with improved audit trails.

Connected estates

Integrate ASM with your Facilities and Estates systems

ASM's integration platform streamlines data flow and reduces duplicate entry across the estates technology stack.

Building systems and telemetry

BMS/SCADA and IoT platforms (HVAC, plant alarms, occupancy, environmental sensors) auto-create work and prioritize using real conditions.

Security and safety systems

Access control, CCTV/alarms and fire/life-safety platforms, so security-critical faults and compliance activities carry strong audit trails.

Asset and maintenance systems

EAM/CMMS and asset registers link jobs to the correct equipment, warranties, maintenance history and parts.

Space and workplace management

CAFM/IWMS, room and desk booking, and move management coordinate requests with space, utilization and workplace services.

Finance and procurement

ERP/AP/PO systems control costs, raise purchase orders, manage invoicing and support chargeback.

Common questions

Facilities and Estates service management FAQs

What is facilities service management?

Facilities service management applies service management principles such as structured requests, workflows, scheduling and reporting to facilities and estates work, so repairs, maintenance, moves and security issues are logged, prioritized, assigned and completed consistently. It is one part of Enterprise Service Management (ESM).

Can Facilities have its own portal, separate from IT?

Yes. Alemba Service Manager supports a Facilities-only portal with its own branding, service catalog, FAQs, self-help articles and major incident notices, so building occupants get Facilities support without navigating IT or other service areas.

Can facilities engineers use Alemba Service Manager in the field?

Yes. ASM Nano gives engineers and supervisors mobile access to work orders: pick up assignments, view priorities and site details, update status, capture photos and evidence, complete inspection checklists and close work at the point of service.

Can Alemba Service Manager manage office moves?

Yes. ASM's office move workflow turns a structured move request into approved, scheduled tasks with dates, owners and dependencies, and the Resource Scheduler allocates teams and contractors to time slots while avoiding clashes.

How are urgent physical security faults prioritized?

ASM uses configurable risk and priority rules to assess impact and urgency automatically, for example by location and failure type, then applies escalations and tight response targets so security-critical faults such as broken doors, locks or access controls are actioned immediately.

Which building and estates systems does ASM integrate with?

ASM integrates with building management and IoT platforms, access control and life-safety systems, EAM/CMMS asset registers, CAFM/IWMS and room booking tools, and ERP and procurement systems, so work is created, prioritized and costed using real operational data.
