Rydon Maintenance Upgrade to the Latest FM Software from Qube Global Software

Rydon Maintenance, part of the Rydon Group, provides facilities management services to housing associations, Local Authorities and NHS Health Trusts; they have recently upgraded their Core Software System from PlanetCMS to Planet FM Enterprise.

London, United Kingdom, August 17, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Rydon has been using Planet since 2001 when they invested in the G5 system before moving on in 2003 to a tailored PlanetCMS system. Rydon commented, “After viewing other systems on the market, the best route appeared to be to go with a product users were familiar with”. Rydon were also keen to invest in a system which would integrate with their other core systems, Opti-time and Cognito.

Handling over 2000 jobs per week with approximately 100 operatives using handhelds to receive their work, it was very important that the transfer to the new system went smoothly with minimal disruption to the working day. The Planet team were able to get the new system working very quickly.

Rydon are benefiting from many of the new features incorporated into Planet FM Enterprise. The Internet module is proving very useful allowing clients to log and monitor calls. The Healthcare side of the business is also making use of handhelds for planned and reactive maintenance. Time and location are no longer a restriction as data is accessible at all times.

The upgrade to Planet FM Enterprise has been a valuable exercise, contributing to the smooth running of the company. Rydon commented, “We are always on the lookout for improvements and upgrades ensuring that the 100,000 jobs we complete annually do not become an administrative nightmare. IT solutions are key to ensuring that Rydon Maintenance stay at the forefront of their market sector”.

The latest version of Planet hosts a number of new features and benefits. For more information about Planet and Qube Global Software please the Planet team on + 44 (0)1932 334700 or email planet@qubeglobal.com.
