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 closes it when the requester confirms. A public tracking URL, digital signature, and photo rejection loop that keeps everyone honest.

68%
of rework comes from closing jobs without requester verification

The real problem is the feedback loop

Your team does good work. But without requester confirmation, nobody believes it.

Without Infodeck

The daily struggle

Faults arrive from 5 different channels

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

Reporters call back 3 times asking for updates

They reported a fault. Then heard nothing. So they call. And call again. 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 see the status timeline in real time. Zero phone calls.

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 approves with signature or rejects with photos

When the work is done, the requester gets a notification. They approve with a digital signature or reject with a reason and up to 3 photos. Rejected work auto-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.

3x fewer callback calls with requester tracking
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 anytime 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

Approve with signature or reject with photo

Happy? Sign off digitally. Not fixed? Tap "Report Issue," write a reason, attach up to 3 photos. The work order reopens automatically and the FM team is notified.
