Building rounds and inspections in facility management

Run building rounds and installation checks on a phone. The technician scans a QR code or NFC tag in a room and completes the assigned checklist.

Defect reports go straight into the shared history of the property.

A building round without a paper card

Running a building involves many repeatable checks: installations, public areas, plant rooms and contractor work.

Round notes get scattered, making it hard to tell the state of the building a month ago.

Varilo organises how these checks are run and documented.

Inspection points tagged in the building

A QR code or NFC tag goes into the plant room, at the switchgear, in the garage, in a stairwell or by the lift.

The technician scans a point and immediately sees the tasks assigned to that location.

From checklist to report in a few simple steps

This is how a building round runs in Varilo.

  1. 1

    Create the property checklist

    Prepare points for a building, installation or plant room.

  2. 2

    Tag the round points

    Every point gets its own QR code or NFC tag.

  3. 3

    The technician runs the round

    Points are scanned one by one and results are saved on the spot, without logging in.

  4. 4

    Analyse the results

    Results and defects build the property history available to the facility manager.

Data-driven view of the property

Reports and statistics show how property checks are going:

  • number of completed rounds,
  • rooms and installations with recurring defects,
  • history of a specific inspection point,
  • contractor work acceptances,
  • time and place of each check.

Start with one building

Tag the points on a single round and see what the final report looks like.
