Building management has evolved rapidly over the years, as have our own services. What started with HVAC installations now includes a service that offers “everything from a single source”.
From the installation and maintenance of HVAC systems to compliant digitalization, from technical building management to customized Building Management Systems (BMS), from inventory via RFID to energy efficiency optimization — we take over the operationally secure management and provision of tools for comprehensive building and facility management.
This allows Facility Managers to focus again on the essentials while simultaneously reducing costs. Learn more about what else belongs to 360° facility management and how you can benefit in our latest blog!
What is 360° Building Management?
A 360° service provider in building management does not only take on individual services, such as installing new lamps, but numerous aspects involved in managing a building.
This includes services such as securing door systems, integrating IT measures and telephone systems, digital inventory and goods recording, remodeling and design of branches, gutting after branch closures, data collection to optimize operational efficiency, and much more.
Instead of booking various services from different providers, building managers can now book all concerns around a building from a single service provider. This saves not only time but also costs in the long run!
Providers like Sescom, active across the European market, have extensive experience and can advise both small and large branches with specialist expertise.
1. Design, Installation, Equipment & Modernization of Stores
Sescom specializes in supporting retail stores with design, installation, equipment, and modernization.
This includes not only remodeling a branch when new inventory is needed for the upcoming spring or autumn season (strip-out) or creating new staff rooms.
It can also be procuring and installing self-service terminals in supermarkets, which we have implemented in numerous chains in Germany.
2. Technical Building Management
Technical facility management includes all technical concerns in building management. This includes installation and maintenance of HVAC systems, emergency calls and repairs, provision of food refrigeration systems in retail, or removal of technical devices when closing branches.
3. Integration & Maintenance of IT Infrastructures
Another important part of 360° building management is the integration and maintenance of IT infrastructures. Every building requires technological installations that support and even protect operations.
This includes installation and maintenance of IT hardware, POS systems, cash registers and fiscal printers, computers, servers and routers, CCTV, audio and video systems, alarm systems, access controls, and much more.
As facility management evolves, the technical devices needed to ensure smooth operation in branches become more comprehensive.
4. Optimization of Energy Efficiency of HVAC Systems
Especially in times of ESG and CSRD, optimizing energy efficiency in buildings is more important than ever to increase operational efficiency.
Sescom helps companies save costs and time by targeted measurement and monitoring of electricity consumption. This not only helps avoid device malfunctions and promotes branch sustainability but also improves device efficiency through regular inspections and maintenance.
Sescom provides concrete recommendations for optimization, implements savings plans, supports modernization and automation of functions and processes, and offers support through a dedicated energy manager.
5. Digital Tools & Technical Support to Optimize Business Processes
Digital tools also greatly facilitate facility management. These include smart RFID tags and RFID readers that shorten inventory time by hours.
Sescom offers modern solutions based on RFID, AutoID, and the Internet of Things (IoT). RFID supports automatic identification of objects, goods, and items remotely via radio waves.
This helps save costs and personnel deployment, contributing to higher operational efficiency in stores and warehouses. Currently, we have installed over 1 million RFID tags in 4,000 stores.
6. Logistics for Effective Goods Management
Logistics also plays an important role in facility management. How goods are stored and delivered to branches is crucial to ensure effective customer service.
Part of this is managed through effective goods management via RFID tags.
The other part is handled by Sescom through sales, rental, and services around forklifts and logistics (Sescom Forklift), ensuring smooth operations between warehouse and branch.
7. Opening and Closing of Branches for Construction-Ready Handover
Another important aspect of building management is the opening and closing of branches. To ensure smooth business operations, a highly optimized branch opening by experts and high-quality branch closures for seamless handover are required.
Sescom not only handles new openings of locations but also pop-up stores or temporary shops.
We support targeted construction measures, technical installations, remodeling, gutting and removal of old items, inventory shipping from one branch to another, and much more.
