43.4%

of SLAs missed on average

The FM Agility Gap

Every new contract adds back-office work your margin can't afford.

Every FM company hits the same ceiling. You win a new contract and you need more helpdesk staff, more supervisors, more people chasing operatives for updates. The back office grows faster than the margin.The enterprise CAFM platforms that promise to fix this take six to twelve months to deploy. You need the gap closed now.

"43.4% of SLAs missed on average. 60% of clients have raised concerns or threatened renewal."

What your team stops chasing. What your
clients start noticing.

Reduce time to raise and triage tasks

Any person, any device, seconds to report. A QR scan, a WhatsApp message, an email — the task is captured with the right context, the right asset and the right priority before anyone has to pick up the phone.

Under 60 seconds, issue to work order

Reduce time from task raised to completion

Automated assignment and tracking remove manual coordination. The manager stops chasing. The operative arrives briefed. The client sees progress in real time.

reduce MTTR - Mean Time to Repair

Increase first-time fix rate

Asset history, access codes and job instructions reach the operative before they arrive. Fewer repeat visits. Every avoided second visit protects margin.

Right tools, first visit

Reduce SLA breaches

SLA breaches are flagged before the penalty is booked. Escalation paths trigger automatically. The job reassigns before the client notices and before anyone has to chase.

Protect renewal, avoid penalty

One platform, four views

Everyone involved in a job, working from the same picture.

Task Raisers

Anyone reporting an issue — office workers, visitors, site staff, building occupants. They need to raise a task in seconds, from wherever they are, without an app or a login.

Site Managers

Operations managers, regional leads and internal estates teams. They assign work, track SLAs, and report to clients — and they need live visibility across every site without manual coordination.

Operatives

The people doing the work — cleaners, engineers, contractors. They need the right information at the right time: asset history, access codes, job brief — on the channel they already use.

Clients

Building owners, property managers, contract holders. They see status updates, completion reports and satisfaction data — before they have to ask for it

One platform

Task Raising, Control & Management, Job Delivery, Outreach.

One platform from report to resolution. Buy where you need to start — Task Raising on its own, or the full lifecycle.

Task Raising

The lowest-friction way for anyone to report an issue — without an app, without logging in, without knowing who to contact. A QR scan, a WhatsApp message, an email, an IoT trigger. The task is captured with the right context, assigned to the right asset and the right priority, and routed straight into your CAFM — or into Control & Management if you run askporter Operations standalone.

  • Task Raising — frictionless issue reporting via our Online Assistant, WhatsApp, email or IoT trigger, accessed via QR codes, NFC tags or URLs

  • Asset & Location Intelligence — asset and location-aware questioning captures the right context at the point of report

  • Self-Help & Triage — self-help suggestions resolve minor issues before they become a callout

  • CAFM Integration — automatic task creation and routing into your existing CAFM via API or webhook

  • Multilingual support — works across diverse workforces and public-facing locations

  • Fully Configurable — configure task types, self help guidance and data collection to support your business operations

Control & Management

One place to assign, track and complete every job. Control & Management runs your workload across sites and service lines, configures SLAs by category, location or asset, and flags breach risk automatically before the penalty is booked. For internal teams without a CAFM, this is your platform. For FM companies already running one, Control & Management sits between intake and dispatch — connecting the four scopes into a single audit trail from report to sign-off, so the back office stops chasing and starts managing by exception.

  • Task Assignment — route to the right operative, team or supplier

  • Task Management — one dashboard for open tasks, priorities and team workload

  • SLAs — set response and resolution times by category, location or asset, with automatic escalation before breach

  • Pre-Approval — approval workflow configurable to your business rules

  • Work Orders & Quotes — create work orders and request quotes; quotes can be set to automated approval where your business rules allow (e.g. below a defined value threshold)

  • Task Status Notifications — customer notifications so team members see what's relevant to their role

  • Performance Dashboards (coming soon) — Live reporting on completion rates, SLA adherence and asset-level job history

Job Delivery

For teams managing operatives directly through askporter — rather than through a separate contractor management system. Job Delivery gives field workers everything they need on the job, and gives managers real-time visibility of what is actually happening on the ground. Every job arrives briefed; every check-in and check-out is logged; every completion is evidenced by photo. Presence is confirmed via WhatsApp, QR code, NFC tag or web link — no app download, no extra hardware.

  • Operative Job Management — full job brief, access codes, asset history and instructions delivered on check-in

  • Check-in / Check-out — operatives confirm arrival and departure on-site, helping manage accountability, time spent on an issue and late arrivals escalated before SLAs are breached

  • Photo Capture & Evidence — before and after photos captured on the job, with automatic feedback request on completion

  • Supplier Assignment — Supplier assignment and work order dispatch based on your business rules

  • Appointment Management — automated reminders and access information for operatives and task raisers ahead of every job

  • Job Feedback (coming soo— capture feedback once an operative has completed the job making sure you client is happy with the work done and capturing any poor performance before it becomes a continued problem

  • AI Scheduling Assistant (coming soo  (coming soon) — coordinates appointment times between operatives and task raisers with no manual intervention

Outreach

Custom, event-driven outbound campaigns — initiated by your team or operational events, not triggered by an occupant. Alert occupants before works begin. Update impacted areas when service is disrupted. Run compliance and safety campaigns with a full audit trail. Measure client satisfaction across the lifecycle of your contract catching problems before they become major issues. Outreach can be purchased standalone — a maintenance programme or satisfaction survey as the entry point — or layered onto Task Raising and Control & Management as the client-communication spine of your portfolio.

  • Planned Maintenance Notices — automated outreach to occupants ahead of scheduled works, with response and rescheduling capability

  • Service Disruption Updates — notify affected areas in real time with expected resolution

  • Compliance & Safety Outreach — event-driven campaigns for fire safety, access audits and regulatory requirements, with audit trail

  • Client Satisfaction Surveys — automated post-job or periodic surveys across preferred channels, natural language responses, no portal required

Four moments the platform earns its place

Real scenarios, measurable outcomes.

Task Raising

A broken escalator at an airport retail unit

A worker scans the QR code on the wall and describes the issue in a couple of sentences. The task is raised, categorised and routed to the right team in under a minute — before the unit is open and without anyone calling the helpdesk.

Reduce time from task raised to completion

A coffee machine stops working in an office building

The task is raised, automatically assigned to the right contractor with SLA set, and acknowledged with an estimated arrival time. The manager doesn't have to chase anyone, and the client sees the job in flight before they pick up the phone.

Increase first-time fix rate

An HVAC unit needs repairing across town

The operative receives the asset history, access codes and job instructions on WhatsApp before they leave the previous job. They arrive with the right parts and instructions for the specific unit and resolve it on the first visit — no follow up needed, no rebooking.

Reduce SLA breaches

40 minutes in, the urgent job still isn't acknowledged

Control & Management flags the breach risk automatically and escalates to the duty manager. The job is reassigned and completed within SLA — and the client never raises a complaint, because the platform caught it before they noticed.

Case Study

Multi-department Facility Management, one platform 600,000+ Tasks automated.

WISAG runs maintenance, cleaning and security across a large portfolio of corporate sites. Before askporter, each service line had its own intake, its own tracking, its own client reporting and the back office spent its time stitching the picture together. askporter Operations is now the shared front end. Tasks are raised, triaged and routed across all three service lines from one platform. Managers see SLA status in real time. Clients receive consistent updates.

“Our customers rightly expect high quality service from us. Problems in distributed operations usually only become apparent when customers complain. Through the askporter platform, we offer our customers the possibility to contact us at any time to report issues or ask for help. Also, the check-in of our cleaners, creates process transparency and reveals problems that can be solved proactively before our customers react.”

Why operations manager choose askporter Operations.

AI-powered front end, alongside your CAFM

We don't replace your existing CAFM. We automate the helpdesk and dispatch layer it leaves manual — intake, triage, operative briefing and SLA tracking — and feed clean work orders straight into the system you already run.

Deploys in weeks, not months

Enterprise CAFM migrations take six to twelve months. askporter Operations is live in weeks, without hardware, without infrastructure projects, and without a pause on the contracts you're already running.

Priced on contract value, not per seat

The cost of the platform tracks the value of the portfolio it manages — not the number of people logged in. That means every new site you win is already modelled into the commercial, with no per-seat renegotiation and no penalty for adopting it widely in your own team.

Two-plus years of production AI across housing and FM

500,000+ assets, 50,000+ monthly interactions, 132,000+ tasks automated. The triage logic, the diagnostic flows and the workflow automation are shaped by real work, not a generic model retrained for FM last quarter.

Works alongside the systems you already run

No rip-and-replace. No replatforming.
