Fault Management

You marked it 'resolved.' The requester says it's still broken.

Give requesters a tracking link. Let them approve or reject with a photo.

Most CMMS tools close the ticket when the technician says done. Infodeck keeps a requester confirmation step with a public tracking URL, notes, and photo evidence.

Operating record

Fault Management on one operating record

Infodeck keeps the request, assignment, status, evidence, and reporting connected from first report to close-out.

01

Capture the request and context.

Teams can collect the issue, location, asset, priority, photos, and requester details before work starts.

02

Assign clear ownership.

Requests, approvals, technicians, contractors, due dates, and follow-up actions stay visible to the people responsible.

03

Keep proof ready.

Close-out notes, timestamps, attachments, and history stay with the record for reviews, audits, and planning.

The real problem is missing confirmation

Your team does good work. But without requester confirmation, the result is easier to dispute.

Without Infodeck

The daily struggle

Faults arrive from too many channels

WhatsApp messages, phone calls, emails, paper notes, walk-up complaints. Your intake desk spends time just logging what's broken.

Reporters keep calling for updates

They reported a fault. Then heard nothing. So they call back. Your front desk becomes a status hotline instead of solving problems.

FM manager manually sorts every fault to the right team

Plumbing goes to one team, HVAC to another, electrical to a third. Someone has to read every report and decide who handles it. That someone is you.

Technician says 'done' but the problem is still there

The aircon is still warm. The leak is still dripping. But the ticket is closed because the technician marked it complete. Now you have a complaint AND a rework cycle.

No evidence trail when disputes happen

The contractor says they fixed it last Tuesday. The requester says nobody came. You have no timestamps, no photos, no proof either way.

With Infodeck

The new reality

One intake queue for every channel

QR codes, WhatsApp, Line, web portal, mobile app. Every fault auto-creates a work request with location, photos, and requester details. No manual logging.

Public tracking URL sent instantly

The requester gets a link via email or SMS. No login needed. They can see the status timeline without calling your front desk.

Forms automation maps faults to the right team

Set up once: fault type X goes to work request template Y, assigned to team Z. The form questionnaire determines the routing. FM manager only handles exceptions.

Requester confirms the fix or rejects with photos

When the work is done, the requester gets a notification. They confirm the fix or reject it with a reason and photos. Rejected work reopens the work order.

Full journey chain from report to sign-off

Every step timestamped: form submission, work request, work order, technician updates, requester confirmation. One audit trail for disputes, compliance, and performance reviews.

The Requester Experience

From fault report to confirmed resolution

This is what your occupants, visitors, and staff experience when they report a fault. No app download. No login. No guessing.

1

Scan QR or message a bot

QR codes on walls, equipment, or rooms. Or send a WhatsApp/Line message. The requester picks the easiest channel.

2

Fill in fault details

A guided form captures location, fault type, photos, and contact details. Takes 30 seconds. The form fields determine how the fault gets routed.

3

Get a tracking link instantly

Email or SMS with a unique tracking URL. No account needed. The requester can check status by opening the link.

4

Watch progress in real time

The tracking page shows a live timeline: reported, assigned, technician on-site, work in progress. Each milestone triggers a notification.

5

Get notified when work is done

Email or SMS alert: "Your reported fault has been resolved. Please review." One tap to open the tracking page.

6

Confirm the fix or reject with a photo

Fixed? Confirm it. Not fixed? Tap "Report Issue," write a reason, and attach photos. The work order reopens and the FM team is notified.
