Comprehensive infrastructure asset management for roads, rail, street lighting & utilities

Centralized, flexible of linear asset management

QFM’s infrastructure asset management tools unify the management of both linear and discrete assets, avoiding data duplication and providing a single source of the truth to stakeholders.  

Assets can be assigned multiple levels of hierarchy to aid maintenance scheduling and reporting. This enables FMs to understand the effects of maintenance across the network and plan remedial action if required to maintain service quality.

The software centralizes the management of maintenance activities for a broad range of infrastructure over the lifetime of assets to increase cost control, maintain safety standards and enhance customer service levels.

Predict long-term maintenance costs with accuracy

QFM Infrastructure Asset Management software captures long-term maintenance expenditure against linear assets, and can predict the cost of maintaining infrastructure over a specified timescale, for example, the term of a contract.  

Comprehensive reporting facilitates in-depth analysis of different maintenance strategies and allows comparison of actual expenditure against budget, in order to refine linear asset management strategies.

Capture changing characteristics of assets across long distances

Integration with Google Maps allows users to visualize fixed assets like bus shelters and signage, and mobile assets like moving buses in real time. Maintenance activities and related incidents such as road closures or traffic congestion can also be viewed. 

Users can drill down into job details, see the impact of large scale works along the network, and escalate tasks if required.

Ensure compliance with strict safety standards

Record and schedule activities to improve safety and prove compliance with myriad legal and regulatory requirements.  

Seamless integration with QFM’s health and safety tools ensure that FMs can track, manage and alert operatives of asbestos, reduce the risk of legionella, ensure regular mandatory checks of assets like emergency lighting, as well as keeping tracking of warranties, contractor permits, insurance certification and fleet MOTs.

Comprehensive live reporting supports strategic decision-making and aids communication

A series of live, customisable dashboards show the required data at a glance, and QFM’s suite of reporting tools provide in-depth information for decision-making and trend analysis.  

For P3s or performance-based contracts, performance criteria linked to the unique contractual parameters of the contract can be assigned to individual assets. QFM can flag potential failures before penalties are incurred.

Deliver energy savings through the improved maintenance of equipment (e.g. street lighting)

Monitored values of assets, which capture the energy consumption of equipment can automatically be transferred into QFM to support sustainability strategies and reduce energy consumption.  

This information can also be used for the payment mechanism gainshare / painshare elements of energy consumption, fostering a partnership approach through transparency and full auditing capability.
