Planet is one of the three product portfolios from Qube Global Software, the other two being Horizon and Qube systems.

Alistair Sinclair, facilities manager at Grampian Police, said: After an extensive review of suppliers, we chose Planet because it provides an easy means of capturing all facilities management issues from helpdesk to planned maintenance in one simple-to-use software package.

Planet software provides a single platform for all facilities needs such as work management, room-booking and catering. It offers a single source for all FM information; creates visibility for facilities team across the organisation; provides web-based information and communication tools to clients; manages in-house team and monitors contractor performance; and offers full stores management with interface into purchasing and work orders.

Planet provides full controls for statutory inspections through the planned maintenance module. Automatic client call response and work completion notification are sent to the client through email. Its feedback questionnaire facility tracks responses to services.

The software’s other features include integrations to accounting systems, management of facilities budgets independent of finance systems, report writing tools, automatic production and email of reports and maintenance of unlimited information.
