Assetta Scorecards
How does it work?
Examples
High Value Equipment
Imagine a supplier of frost prevention windmills. Since they started manufacturing many years ago, parts used in the machines have changed. All devices, regardless of age, need servicing and are on a service plan. One fails in the middle of Australia. Locating it on the Scorecards map is simple, as is the process of clicking on the icon and confirming the various parts that are needed for its repair. Anyone can do that including the serviceman sent from a remote Victorian town to fix it. He has access to all the engineering diagrams, history of the machine, and correct parts schedule. He doesn’t need to be a computer guru to do this. If he can read a roadmap to drive out there, he can easily find the background to the ailing windmill.
The same organization pulls in two layers of geo-register data to assist in their marketing. Frost data from the weather bureau, and vineyard areas from agriculture. Their potential clients exist where these two overlap.
Property
Imagine a major church denomination. Hundreds of church buildings with valuable stained glass windows and unique properties are held all over the country. The buildings are maintained by aging individuals, a large percentage of whom will shortly retire. They face a knowledge erosion problem that many baby boomer populated organizations share. Resident brain knowledge is shortly to walk out the door.
Instead they use decentralized security and mapping with Scorecards allowing each individual to write up the details, store photos, safety and health documents, church plans and anything that is relevant to their particular location. The savings in terms of insurance claims, valuation costs, time spent simply finding information more than pay for Scorecards in months.
Local Councils
A city or town has hundreds or thousands of assets. Those assets are often used by community organisations and more often than not that particular organisation knows more about the asset than the council does.
Imagine a CEO and/or Mayor being approached by the local Scouts group that uses a council-owned hall. The Scout group wants to replace the roof of the building because it is beginning to leak. Neither the CEO nor the Mayor has access to information about that Scout hall — they ask their staff but the person who looked after the building has left and there are no records of it. How can they make an informed decision when they have a serious lack of information?
With Scorecards, the CEO or Mayor can, at the time of the meeting with the Scouts, use their own computers to view the building on a map or aerial photograph. A simple mouse click gives access to the asset information that is needed e.g. size of building, area of roof, when the roof was last replaced, when the building was built, replacement materials and anything else the council decided was important. The decision-makers then have the necessary information to make the isolated decision about the roof and to understand the needs of the asset within a wider context.
