What is SFG20 Mobiliser? The Benefits and How it Works

Across the industry, FM teams are feeling the strain. Incomplete asset registers, inconsistent data and manual processes are slowing everything down, driving up costs, wasting time and increasing compliance risk.

At SFG20, the industry standard for building maintenance specification, we recognise that one of the industry’s biggest challenges is identifying what tasks need to be performed on assets to preserve life, reduce costs and stay compliant.

Read on to understand how SFG20 Mobiliser, an AI-powered software module which can be used alongside Facilities-iQ, can solve this industry wide problem and bring enormous benefits to you and your team.

What is SFG20 Mobiliser?

SFG20 Mobiliser is the world's first AI-powered solution that identifies the correct maintenance for your assets with speed and accuracy so that you can define your maintenance strategies in hours rather than weeks.

This AI asset-to-schedule mapping software module can be used alongside Facilities-iQ, SFG20’s software solution which is home to over 1,500 maintenance schedules.

Each SFG20 maintenance schedule is kept up to date with the latest legislation, regulations and standards.

SFG20 Mobiliser works by allowing you to easily import your asset register – from there, it can then automatically identify and match the correct maintenance schedules within Facilities-iQ for your building’s assets.

By using SFG20 Mobiliser, you can cut down manual asset-to-schedule mapping time by up to 95%, bringing you and your team a mass amount of saved time, money and effort.

This also means that you can quickly and easily set up a bespoke Maintenance Regime in Facilities-iQ in moments rather than what used to take weeks, months and even years for some.

Maintenance Regimes are a feature found within Facilities-iQ which enables the segmentation, structuring and optimisation of SFG20 schedules for the strategic management of your maintenance activities.

No matter the quality of your built asset register, SFG20 Mobiliser enables you to create a maintenance strategy unique to your building’s assets.

This can then directly flow into your existing operational system(s) such as CAFMs via Facilities-iQ's API (Application Programming Interface).

How Does SFG20 Mobiliser Work?

We offer full training for using SFG20 Mobiliser, but here’s how it works in summary:

Step 1: Upload Your Asset Register

To get started, upload your asset register to SFG20 Mobiliser. Whether it’s in an Excel File format or COBie (Construction-Operations Building information exchange) if you’re working with a BIM model, both are compatible.

Step 2: Quickly Match SFG20 Schedules to Your Building’s Assets

SFG20 Mobiliser will map the correct compliant SFG20 maintenance schedules to each of your individual assets.

Where asset information is poor quality or missing, SFG20 Mobiliser will suggest the most likely options and provide clarifying questions to help you make an informed decision.

Once you’ve mapped your assets, you can either download your asset register with SFG20 schedule codes appended or create one or more Maintenance Regimes.

Maintenance Regimes are a feature found within Facilities-iQ which enables the segmentation, structuring and optimisation of SFG20 schedules for the strategic management of your maintenance activities.

Step 3: Integrate (Optional):

Use Facilities-iQ's API (Application Programming Interface) to easily integrate your maintenance regime into your operational system(s) such as CAFM software to create your maintenance plan and schedule the works.

Strong Return-on-Investment

Manually creating compliant PPM strategies for assets can be costly, draining resources and hours that could be spent elsewhere. SFG20 Mobiliser allows you to save the money in man-hours you used to spend trying to make sense of your asset data.

SFG20 Mobiliser helps Building Owners and Occupiers to mobilise contracts quickly and get the correct maintenance carried out faster, ensuring compliance and value for money.

For Service Providers, the real draw is that you will be able to dramatically reduce mobilisation time and save weeks of manual effort, winning you more work with precision and speed.

Rapid Contract Mobilisation

SFG20 Mobiliser not only puts money back in your pocket but also time, as it allows you to drastically reduce the time taken to map your PPM by up to 95% when tested versus mapping assets manually.

Now, within a matter of clicks, you can easily import your asset register into SFG20 Mobiliser and match the relevant SFG20 maintenance tasks to it, producing ready-to-go Maintenance Regimes that can be put out to tender or carried out immediately.

“We recently ran a project for a customer, mapping their boiler rooms to relevant SFG20 schedules. It took over 100 hours to map them manually. Using SFG20 Mobiliser, the project would have taken less than 2 hours. That’s a 95% reduction in time.”

- Davy Clark, Implementation Consultant at SFG20

Accuracy

SFG20 Mobiliser ensures accuracy by using multiple data sources including the asset’s description, manufacturer details and model number etc., as well as NRM codes and Uniclass codes, and applies AI-powered precision to map with confidence.

Compliance

By using SFG20 Mobiliser, you can equip your asset register with a legally compliant maintenance strategy that is bespoke to your assets, even if you have an asset register with poor-quality information. This means you can get up and running with compliant maintenance with confidence.

This will help to ensure that your assets are not being over or under-maintained and therefore help to keep your building(s) safe and legal.

Highly Scalable

SFG20 Mobiliser is completely scalable. Whether you have 50 assets or 50 million, it is suitable for asset registers of all sizes, helping to reduce onboarding costs.
