SIERRA’s Solution
Sheraton Four Points selected Tridium to undertake the assignment of providing a web based solution to collate and automate its entire facility management operations. Tirdium – a global leader in automation infrastructure technology selected SIERRA’s flagship product eFACiLiTY® to be implemented under their OEM brand “MWebCentral” to manage and control the day-to-day facility management operations of Sheraton Four Points.
SIERRA proposed to implement eFACiLiTY® – Maintenance Management System and Helpdesk & Knowledgebase system. The proposed modules maintain the master asset data which may include work orders, maintenance schedules, spare parts, drawings & documents, readings, history of problems and floor-plans in case of buildings and also manage day-to-day operations much more efficiently and provide the best possible service to their customers.
The eFACiLiTY® – Asset / Maintenance Management module manages all the assets present, tracks their warranty / AMC contract details, their maintenance schedules, costs & budgets, break–down history, inventory related to the assets and their purchase orders etc.
- The system picks up the alarms triggered by the functional building/facility’s Tridium Niagara Framework (BMS), generates work orders automatically, tracks and closes work orders and maintains a master data for history of problems and floor-plans in case of buildings.
The eFACiLiTY® – Helpdesk and Knowledgebase provides an efficient support and services platform that allows the guests to raise requests against maintenance/general issues and keep track of these requests as they are completed.
- The system manages all the service requests and calls received; assigns it to the helpdesk operators / team to acknowledge & take necessary actions, raise work orders for solving any issues, gather feedback on completion of the request, etc.
- Every call is recorded throughout its life cycle and the solution found for the query is posted in a centralized knowledgebase for future reference. These past solutions furnish vital information to provide faster resolution for present day requests.

- The assets, properties, facilities and equipment are efficiently maintained and managed to get the best performance throughout their life-cycle
