Stamp of Approval

Architects working for a major postal carrier were spending unproductive time with facilities suppliers rather than on developing assets. To enhance operations, the client formed a partnership with EFS to manage local projects and service their portfolio. EFS now handles everything from leaky roofs to complex electrical, HVAC, and plumbing issues at 32,000 locations. We tap our huge database of pre-qualified providers, manage work orders, and track and report on all activity. The client's performance enhancements include increased productivity and superior management information.

Inside Washington, D.C.

With the flawless performance of so many complex systems at stake, no wonder the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington sought EFS' expertise in government facilities management. The facility has 135 major air handlers; 90 elevators and escalators; 2,500 miles of wiring and seven emergency generators; and a 6,800-sensor fire alarm and suppression system. EFS has full operations & maintenance (O&E) responsibility for these and other systems. Besides integrating materials, quality control, warranty information, and subcontractor requirements, we staffed the site early to help optimize the commissioning process.

Service Market

A major supermarket chain needed to enhance efficiency and focus on its core business, so the client entrusted EFS with executing maintenance and repair work at 280 stores. EFS instituted planned mobile services with route systems that reduced windshield time, prioritized work orders, and boosted productivity. Technicians carry handheld computers containing all work-order data, and they have all the parts required to go right to work. We are enhancing performance, and now the client can focus more efficiently on the meat and potatoes of its business.
