Transform Your Facility Management with FixForm: The Armonea Experience

Streamline Operations, Improve Efficiency, and Enhance Care

At Armonea, one of the largest elderly care organizations in Belgium with over 80 care centers, FixForm has transformed the way facility management is handled. By empowering their facility teams with better tools, Armonea has not only improved operational efficiency but also enhanced the overall quality of care.

Before FixForm: Chaos in Maintenance Management

• Staff were relying on paper documents or post-its to report issues. Many sites had a physical sheet at the reception where anyone could note down problems.
• Technicians often walked around with post-its, getting interrupted constantly by staff to fix additional issues, leading to delays in repairs.
• There was no historical data. If a task wasn’t handled immediately, the paper or post-it could disappear, leaving no trace of the problem.

After FixForm: A Game-Changer for Facility Management

1. Improved Technician Focus
   FixForm helps technicians stay concentrated on their tasks by reducing interruptions, allowing them to work more efficiently.
2. Better Task Tracking
   Technicians now have clear visibility of tasks, including recurring maintenance, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
3. Efficient Communication
   FixForm enables seamless communication between technicians and management. For example, purchase requests like “Order 3 toilet seats” can be sent directly through the platform.
4. Mobile Teams and Faster Response
   Armonea has adopted mobile teams of technicians to reduce costs, and FixForm has been instrumental in making this transition possible. With FixForm, technicians can be dispatched efficiently, and tasks are resolved faster.
5. Historical Data for Better Planning
   With FixForm’s historical tracking, Armonea’s management can now anticipate maintenance needs, reducing unexpected issues and costs. This helps in planning budgets more accurately.
6. Positive Feedback from Staff and Management
   Facility staff and directors have given positive feedback, noting the significant improvement in operational efficiency and the overall maintenance workflow.
