Success Story #1: Florida State Government and Property Management

Urban America, a property management firm, has been using our CIG software "Work Order Trak" for more than four years to manage Northwood Centre, a large commercial property in Tallahassee, Florida. The same company also uses our software to manage other properties in other major U.S. cities.

Northwood Centre's main tenants are State of Florida agencies, as well as other companies needing commercial and office space. Urban America has been able to use CIG’s Work Order Trak software to help tenants report maintenance requests. Tenants can easily submit work orders for service using their web browsers. Once the tenant submits the work order, the system reports the information and stores it for later reference. These are only a few of the Northwood Centre tenants who are using or have used the Work Order Trak system:

According to Kim Gabbard, the Regional Manager of the Southeast United States for Urban America:

"Work Order Trak has greatly improved our work order process. Its been a lifesaver for our property, especially in the areas that are important to the State (of Florida government).

Before we used the software, we were doing thousands of work orders each month, and hundreds of those would be completed but the paper would get lost, and there was no way to track this. The actual work order is now tracked by our software and can never go missing - we always know exactly what has been turned in and what has not.

Now the State agencies can print out reports each month and show their supervisors in the Capitol exactly what was requested and what was completed. Now we can prove a 100% success and completion rating for work orders because it is carefully tracked, plus we have the option of printing a paper work order as well which helps because the maintenance person can physically sign their signature as proof they actually completed the work order.

Its been wonderful for us - we can document exactly when work orders were fulfilled. There are no lost work orders. We can pull reports on a certain room and see the overall yearly maintenance for that room, or look at a certain maintenance employee and see how busy they are."
