Managing a facilities management portfolio across multiple sites is a masterclass in complexity. Without a centralized system, you’re left drowning in spreadsheets, chasing updates from regional teams, and struggling to get a clear picture of profitability. This is precisely why CQ was built. As a platform designed from the ground up for the demands of FM, we developed Visual Map-Based Planning and other purpose-built tools to transform multi-site chaos into centralized, profitable control.

Generic business software can’t handle the geographic and logistical realities of a distributed portfolio. CQ thrives on it. We provide a single, live view of your entire operation, allowing you to manage every site, team, and contract from one central hub.

The Challenge of Multi-Site Management

Managing multiple sites without a unified platform leads to significant operational and financial blind spots.

Visual Map-Based Planning: Command Your Portfolio

CQ’s Visual Map-Based Planning is more than just a map; it’s your command center. It provides the geographic context that is essential for efficient multi-site management.

With CQ’s mapping tools, you can:

1.Visualize Your Entire Workload: See every job across your portfolio, color-coded by status. Instantly identify which sites are on track and which need attention.

2.Plan Regional Work with Clusters: View jobs grouped in geographic clusters, allowing you to plan technician schedules for a specific region over a set period. Assign a team to a city for a week and efficiently plan their entire schedule.

3.Optimize Travel Routes: Create a starting point for your team (like a hotel or local office) and let CQ generate the most efficient daily routes to minimize travel time and maximize productivity.

4.Dynamically Reassign Work: When an emergency job comes in, you can instantly see which technician is closest and has the availability to respond, ensuring rapid service without disrupting your entire schedule.

A Unified Platform for a Unified Operation

True multi-site control goes beyond mapping. It requires a fully integrated platform where every piece of information flows seamlessly.

•Centralized Quoting & Contracts: Create quotes and contracts from your central office that are instantly accessible to regional teams.

•Consistent Service Delivery: Ensure every team follows the same procedures with standardized digital forms and workflows accessible via the mobile app.

•Batch Invoicing for Corporate Clients: Generate a single, consolidated invoice for a client with multiple sites, simplifying their billing process and ensuring you get paid faster.

•Portfolio-Wide Analytics: Because all data flows into one system, you can analyze performance across your entire portfolio. Compare site profitability, team efficiency, and service level agreement (SLA) compliance with a few clicks.

By unifying your operations on a single platform, CQ gives you the economies of scale and operational consistency needed to profitably manage and grow your multi-site portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How does Visual Map-Based Planning work?

A1: It plots all your jobs, assets, and technicians on a live, interactive map. This allows you to see your entire operation geographically, identify clusters of work for efficient planning, optimize travel routes for your field teams, and dynamically assign jobs based on real-time location and availability.

Q2: Can I use CQ to plan a week’s worth of work for a team in a specific city?

A2: Yes, this is a core function of our map-based planning. You can filter jobs by region, view them as a cluster, and create an optimized schedule for a specific team over several days or a week. You can even set a starting point, like a hotel, to ensure their daily routes are as efficient as possible.

Q3: How does CQ help me understand the profitability of each site?

A3: Because CQ is a fully integrated platform, all costs—including labor from technician timesheets and materials used—are automatically tracked against each job and site in real-time. This gives you a live, accurate P&L for every single site in your portfolio, allowing you to identify and address underperforming contracts.

Q4: My client has 50 sites and wants one invoice. Can CQ handle that?

A4: Absolutely. This is a common headache for FM businesses that CQ was built to solve. Our batch invoicing feature allows you to easily group all completed jobs for a single client across multiple sites onto one consolidated, professional invoice, simplifying your client’s accounts payable process and improving your cash flow.

Q5: How does this help my regional managers?

A5: It empowers them. Instead of being buried in administrative work, your regional managers get a clear, real-time view of their team’s performance. They can proactively manage schedules, respond to issues faster, and focus on client satisfaction and growth, rather than chasing paperwork and updates.
