Oversee your Roofing Investment with a Roof Asset Management Program

Case Study Overview

Planning for long term success is vital when overseeing any commercial roof system, and an all-encompassing roof asset management program helps keep essential information available at the drop of a hat (whether you’re overseeing one roof or one hundred).

Roof asset management, also commonly referred to as RAM, eliminates paper documentation by keeping records in one place, reduces confusion by organizing maintenance schedules, and streamlines processes by making it simple to contact your commercial roofing partner when roofing needs arise.

Basically, if you don’t work to manage your business’s roofing assets, your roofs will manage you!

Background

In decades past, keeping track of a roofing system’s maintenance schedule took a lot of paperwork and planning for maintenance and repairs (not to mention the time it took to keep that paperwork organized!). For businesses with multiple buildings in their portfolio, this problem is compounded exponentially.

That’s where TEMA Roofing’s Roof Asset Management system comes in. Not only does it eliminate the need for piles of paperwork thanks to its secure cloud storage, but it also makes keeping up with regular maintenance and scheduling repairs quick and simple.

Advantages of the Cloud-Based Accessibility

Cloud-based applications allow users to interact with their information via a web browser. They can upload and interact with files and platforms, and all information can be accessed on an as-needed basis from any location, whether on-site or off-site.

Cloud-based systems and applications help to save shared computing resources like processing power, memory and disk storage, and they help to speed up delivery while facilitating a better overall user experience.

Companies looking to simplify facilities maintenance understand that a proper roof asset management system alleviates the headache of initiating work orders, scheduling regular maintenance and ensuring that warranties remain intact.

But, not all commercial roofing contractors offer this type of service. So, how can a customer that is not focused on its daily property maintenance programs understand the full impact of a RAM system?

Problems

Building owners and facility managers face multiple issues concerning roofing maintenance:

Organizing data concerning the condition of the roofing systems in their portfolios
Interpreting commercial roof information to make timetables for roof inspections and other services
Budgeting for roof repairs and then having those repairs executed in a timely manner
Facilitating roof replacement when a roofing asset has met or exceeded its life expectancy

Keeping Track of Roof Management Information

The amount of roofing management data that needs to be collected and accounted for concerning the condition of your roofing asset(s) can be overwhelming. Each roof in a portfolio has receipts, work orders, invoices, photographs, and more. And, all of those individual pieces of paperwork can be multiplied by dozens or hundreds of buildings, depending on the number of properties that are being maintained.

More importantly, though, that existing information needs to be interpreted to determine when an inspection is coming due or when scheduled maintenance needs to be approved. So, if that information is disorganized or missing, a facility manager has no path to follow. Consequently, planning a budget for roof maintenance, roof repair or even roof replacement is made unnecessarily difficult (or even impossible).

Solution

A Roofing Contractor That Understands Roofing Management

With our comprehensive roofing management platform, all roofing information is gathered in one spot, and customers can contact TEMA Roofing directly through the client portal to report roof repairs and other work. Clients can also generate a work order, schedule roofing inspections, approve invoices, and view the progress of a work order in one easily accessible location. In fact, the client portal allows for a level of flexibility that paper simply can’t offer!

Benefits of TEMA’s Roofing Management Portal

TEMA’s client portal tracks everything a client needs to know about their roof (or roofs). Not only is general roofing system information stored in the cloud, but all documentation relating to the service history is in there, as well.

Since preventative maintenance is often a condition for keeping a roof warranty intact, it becomes imperative that businesses keep accurate, comprehensive documentation of any work or inspection that has been completed. For TEMA’s clients, maintaining their roofing system warranties is as simple as clicking a button.

Document, Drawing, Warranty and Image Storage

TEMA’s interactive client portal allows for the sharing of photos, documents, invoices, building information, work order information, project information and work history—all in real-time. Even more importantly, this information can be securely accessed 24/7/365.

On-demand information is proven to increase satisfaction and engagement, which is vital, because at TEMA, we work to build long-term, trusted relationships with our clients.

Regularly scheduled roof maintenance and inspections are also easy and painless with the client portal. With information and images stored in a single location, the condition of your roofing system, or systems, is never a mystery and facility or property managers can be equipped to prioritize roofing projects based on process and scope. Afterall, a clear plan for roof management means that building owners can enjoy a longer life cycle for their roof and save time and money in the process.

At TEMA Roofing, we pride ourselves on reliable service and trusted relationships with our clients.

Our forward-thinking approach and adaptability to roofing services are what allow us to be an industry-leading commercial roofing company, and our client accessible Roof Asset Management system is designed to streamline project management and asset oversight, whether you operate a small family business or a national commercial chain.

Staying on the cutting edge of technology in the commercial roofing industry is key to what we do. Our clients need fast access to their roofing information, and more information means a better understanding of any roofing issues at hand.

Our mission is to give our customers a clear understanding of what is being addressed in order to help plan for the future, and our cloud-based RAM portal is an integral part of our full service commercial roofing capabilities. In the end, a roofing management platform eliminates downtime, streamlines processes, helps to guide both budgets and planning, and strengthens the overall customer relationship that we pride our business on.
