CIT Group and Facilio unlock new digitization benchmarks at Al Jadidah in record three weeks time
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, June 1, 2023:
CIT Group Ltd, a leading facility management service provider
headquartered in Jeddah, Saudi, has chosen
Facilio’s Connected CaFM
software platform to digitally transform the facilities at Al
Jadidah site. The company successfully digitised end-to-end
O&M processes, achieved QHSE audit and compliance readiness in
a record three weeks time, making this the fastest and most
seamless Computer-aided Facility Management (CaFM) deployment
in the region till date.
Monitored by the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU), the Al
Jadidah site is a cultural hub and home to restaurants, shops,
art exhibitions and many entertainment options.
CIT Group Ltd, which
manages the site’s operations & facilities, envisioned a more
streamlined and platform-centric approach to O&M.
Speaking on the occasion, Naser Gulaid, Executive Chairman at
CIT Group Ltd said, “Our primary objective for the Al Jadidah
project was to enhance the visitor experience and ensure
smooth operations without disrupting tenants' businesses.
Typically, CaFM deployments of this scale take months due to
evolving requirements and the lack of adaptable tools to
support dynamic operations.
We chose Facilio for its exceptional flexibility,
user-friendliness, and seamless integration with third-party
systems. Facilio's platform offered us a simplified approach
to digitizing end-to-end operations, consolidating data from
diverse sources, and providing centralized operational
visibility all in one place. It effortlessly handles KPI
reporting and audit-readiness, which was tedious with legacy
systems. We're pleased with the results of the implementation
and are in the process of rolling out Facilio’s platform in
five other sites as well.”
Facilio's CEO, Prabhu Ramachandran, said, "Real estate in
Saudi Arabia is experiencing a significant boom driven by
massive infrastructure & cultural projects. There is a
critical need for real estate operators & FM service providers
in the Kingdom to upend their current operations & maintenance
tech stack and embrace cloud-based solutions to accelerate the
business potential of the region and deliver best-in-class
experiences. The answer to this is a unified platform approach
to operations that meaningfully connects systems, people, and
processes. We are happy to see CIT Group Ltd leading the way
in Saudi and front-ending the transition to a Connected CaFM
approach.”
Together, CIT Group Ltd. and Facilio have demonstrated the
power of innovation and collaboration, revolutionizing
facility management and setting new industry standards.
