4 Simple Steps – Easy to Use:

PLANFRED-Webapp – Mängelmanagement

1) Site Inspection - Recording the Defects:

Capture photos or videos of the defect on-site and provide a description. Assign the defect to the responsible person, set a deadline, and save it as a draft or publish it directly, even in offline mode.

2) Documented Clarifications through Chat Messages:

Coordinate all queries and clarifications directly within the task using the built-in chat feature. All communication is chronologically stored in the task activities, ensuring clear documentation.

3.) Completion with documented free message

As soon as the construction defect has been eliminated, the responsible person reports directly in Planfred that the affected service is free of defects. In the course of this, documentation photos or type sheets, expense records and similar can be attached.

If an inspection shows that the defect still exists, the task can simply be set to the "open" status again.

Billing technicians have all the necessary information for accurate billing conveniently located within the respective tasks. This includes details such as additional client orders, direct labor effort data, performance, acceptance photos, type sheets, and more.

Tasks FAQ's

Use Excel template or PLANFRED?

While Excel spreadsheets are commonly used for defect management, there are drawbacks associated with them:

  1. Error-prone: Excel spreadsheets are susceptible to errors, especially when multiple individuals are involved in recording and processing defects.

  2. Limited functionality: Excel has limited customization options compared to specialized defect management software like PLANFRED. It lacks features such as automatic notifications, real-time updates, and comprehensive reporting.

  3. Collaborate challenges: Collaborating effectively with Excel spreadsheets can be difficult, leading to versioning issues, conflicts, and potential data loss.

  4. Data management limitations: Excel lacks robust data management capabilities, making it challenging to organize, filter, and search defect data efficiently.

What is meant by ‘digital or mobile defect management’?

Digital or mobile defect management refers to the utilization of digital or mobile technologies to support the process of identifying, documenting, tracking, and resolving defects in a project or organization. 

Compared to traditional defect management methods that rely on manual recording and tracking of defects using paper or Excel spreadsheets, digital or mobile defect management offers numerous advantages. 

For instance, can defects be directly recorded and documented on-site using a mobile device? Yes, with digital or mobile solutions, defects can be efficiently recorded and documented on-site, saving time and effort while reducing the likelihood of errors. 

Additionally, these solutions enable effective collaboration and communication among team members, as real-time access to defect information is available from any location.

Other benefits of digital or mobile defect management include automatic defect assignment notifications, progress tracking, real-time status updates, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. 

In summary, digital or mobile defect management provides an effective and efficient solution that enhances the accuracy and transparency of defect management processes, fosters collaboration, and expedites defect resolution in the real estate, property management and construction industry.
