Live monitoring and graphical display of evaluations

Visualizations in real time

With the DASHBOARD you monitor processes and parameters in real time during operation. As a basis for important decisions, the DASHBOARD visualizes all relevant CAFM key figures. Parameters, limit values and warning ranges can be adjusted to your needs. With this tool, you will never miss a critical development. These are immediately identified, displayed and can be directly reported in a variety of ways.

The DASHBOARD information displayed can be controlled on a user-specific basis. A user may only see the information that is released for his role
The DASHBOARD is displayed in a separate window. This allows you to work ergonomically and freely design the interface according to your own preferences

Through the escalation management ESCALATION, limit values can be provided with an alarm. If a critical value is exceeded, predefined persons are immediately notified by e-mail.

After the initial import, an optional bidirectional DWG interface is available. Room size changes in CAD are directly synchronized with the CAFM database. Historical data is also evaluated. The bidirectional coupling also enables detailed relocation planning based on AutoCAD®. Different variants can be run through and organized for relocations.
