askporter Operations — Control & Management

Every job, every SLA, every site — in one view.

Jobs coordinated by spreadsheet and WhatsApp. SLAs slip before anyone notices. askporter Control & Management assigns, tracks and closes every job — with alerts before the breach.

The helpdesk bottleneck.

You don't lose margin on delivery. You lose it on chasing.

Your manager's day doesn't start with actual work, it starts with chasing. Contractors on WhatsApp, new requests scattered across inboxes, SLA reminders manually set on calendars, and logs buried in a spreadsheet. Each new contract adds coordination overhead that costs margin before a single operative reaches a site. And when an SLA slips, the penalty is already booked by the time anyone notices. At WISAG, askporter Operations has moved 600,000+ tasks through a single management layer, replacing fragmented email and spreadsheet tracking with one clear audit trail from report to sign-off.

Integrating askporter has been a game-changer for us at WISAG. The AI-driven chatbot, Ellie, has transformed our communication processes, improving ticket escalations and responses, and enhancing our overall service quality. Our clients now experience seamless issue resolution and we have streamlined our operations across all departments.

What site managers measure

Four outcomes, from alert to review-ready.

Reduce time from task raised to completion

Assignment, work orders, quotes and sign-off run from one place — no chasing, no status lost in inbox threads.

One clear & measurable audit trail

Reduce SLA breaches

Early escalations inside the SLA window — so your team intervenes, not your client's.

Alerts before the penalty

Reduce back-office workload

The helpdesk stops growing with the portfolio. More contracts, same team on coordination — margin stays where it was won.

More sites, same team

Increase visibility across every job

Open tasks, SLA adherence and team workload on one platform — ready for the next client review, not built the night before.

One platform, every site

Operational Efficiency

Control & Management

The management layer of askporter Operations — where work gets assigned, tracked and closed off. For internal FM teams and smaller FM companies without their own CAFM, Control & Management is the platform. For those already running on an existing CAFM, Task Raising alone is usually the right fit. Control & Management connects Task Raising upstream and Job Delivery downstream — one system from report to sign-off, one helpdesk view across every site, every SLA, and every contract.

Task Pre-Approvals

(Coming soon)

Make sure tasks raised are the provider's responsibility and are approved before action — so your team doesn't work on issues that aren't yours to fix.

Work Orders & Quotes

(Coming soon)

Create work orders and request quotes before any work is carried out — and set quotes to automated approval where your business rules allow (e.g. below a defined value threshold).

Task Status Notifications

(Coming soon)

Everyone involved — task-raiser, operative, manager, client — gets the updates they need, automatically.

SLA Management

(Coming soon)

Configure response and resolution targets by task type and asset. Automatic escalation before SLAs are breached.

Task Management

(Coming soon)

Track, update and close jobs. Full visibility of open tasks, priorities and team workload from a single dashboard.

 Task Assignment

(Coming soon)

Assign each task to the right person in your team based on asset and task type

Performance Dashboards

(Future release)

 Real-time reporting on team efficiency, SLA adherence, completion rates, and asset-level job history.

From intake to sign-off.

How a job moves through Control & Management.

 

Task arrives, pre-approved

Tasks that aren't the provider's responsibility are filtered out before they reach the queue.
 
 

SLA clock starts

Response and resolution targets are set by task type and asset — not a one-size-fits-all timer.
 
 

Assigned to the right person

Work can be automatically routed to the team member responsible.
 
 

Tracked in one view

Open tasks, priorities and team workload on a single dashboard — replacing the spreadsheet and inbox view.
 
 

Work order or quote issued

Where a quote is needed, it can be set to auto-approve below your business-rule thresholds — or routed to a manager for review.
 
 

Everyone updated, automatically

Task-raiser, operative, manager, client — no one chases for status.
 
 

Closed out, and measured

Completion confirmed; performance reporting feeds the next client review.

Against your alternatives

Four things a spreadsheet or email inbox can't do

Works with your CAFM. Or without one.

Control & Management runs as the management platform for FM teams without a CAFM — and hands jobs cleanly into the one you already have. No rip-and-replace, no dual data entry.

One view from report to sign-off.

Every stage of a job: intake, triage, assignment, work order, quotes, completion, it all lives in one audit trail. One trail the client sees. One trail that holds up in a dispute.

Alerts before the breach, not after.

SLA escalations fire inside the response window, stopping a missed deadline before it becomes an expensive penalty. Your manager intervenes, not your client.

Priced on contract value, not per seat.

As your portfolio grows, Control & Management scales with contract value — not with the number of managers on your team. The management layer protects your margin instead of consuming it.

Ready to assign, track and close — without the chasing?

Control & Management runs the helpdesk for FM teams without a CAFM — and feeds cleanly into the one you already have. One audit trail from report to sign-off, across every site and every SLA. See what your operation looks like when the coordination runs itself.
