Editorial
Dear readers,
We are still in the middle of a nice and sunny summer. It is not to hot here in Slovenia in fact the temperatures are just fine. Since it is still the time for summer vacations we hope that all of you have a great time where ever you are. Well the smarti® team has prepared the August issue of the newsletter, where you will be able to read the latest news about the smarti® system. In the last months newsletter we finished our Benefits to the condominium owners feature so this month we will bring you an article about the benefits of using a smarti® system to the facility management. This is the third feature of the using the smarti® system for high rise/multi unit building projects series the first two features were the Benefits to the condominium owners and the Benefits for the developers of condominium projects.
Best regards,
Your smarti® team
Download the new smarti® update
We have been preparing this one for a long time. It was just so much that we wanted to add. The update is now available for download.
The main addition in this update is a completely new and redesigned set of menus for home/building automation and the client application to set them up. It is basically a new module designed for easier access to automation tasks. It supports a user defined navigation menu. The building floor plans can be used as background images and buttons can be dynamically positioned. It includes various gadgets and a more powerful automated task module.
Pre-calculated attendance reports. We have created new, monthly and summary attendance reports that can use pre-calculated data, which can be scheduled to be calculated daily using the smartiScheduler. The new reports are display much faster, compared to the old reports, but do not display changes that were made on the current day.
Attendance reports count the over-midnight presence for the day that the person clocked-in. We have also extended these reports with additional data needed by the time administrators. This makes presence tracking for the administrator easier.
Video messages can now be saved to and accessed from the database. Easier setup if units cannot share files.
You can now define how many additional biometric samples will be recorded each time during self enrolment (if the number of samples already recorded is greater than the minimum required).
There are of course many other minor improvements but we will not go into details about them in this article.
Benefits to the facility managers part I.
-
smarti® helps facility management companies keep costs down through the use of remote monitoring. This reduces the need for more on-site personnel.
-
It allows for new revenue streams in the form of "advertisements" that are viewed as benefits to apartment owners/renters.
- Permission based advertising can be a great constant revenue stream. These ads can be sold to local restaurants, theatres, shops etc… that are in the immediate area. It can be stipulated that these ads provide a beneficial discount exclusive to the tenants (i.e. two for one appetizers with appropriate code) or tenants can search by deal for that particular time period, take out or dine in, and type of offering.
-
It increases product offerings to tenants - Nanny cam, in case of tenant absence allows for virtual security monitoring etc...
