Qube Global Software showcased its “Planet” facilities management software, which it says has been implemented in over 300 organisations across industry, commerce, the NHS, and the public sector, at the annual HefmA Conference.
The company says Planet is “the chosen computer-aided facilities management system in the NHS”, reflected in a comment from Richard Harrison from WHB Associates, which helped Planet customer, St George’s Healthcare, choose a facilities management system. Richard Harrison said the decision to invest in Planet was “based on Qube Global Software’s well-established track record within the NHS, and the system’s ease of use”.
Planet is designed to help NHS Trusts manage budgets and reduce costs by allowing them to monitor contactor costs, analyse how much their assets are costing, and improve the accuracy of financial information. The company said: “Users will know exactly what they have spent, right down the last penny.”
Another Planet software user, John Stewart from Plymouth’s Mount Gould Hospital, commented: “I have set up a commitment expenditure report and programmed it to be emailed on a monthly basis to the Finance Department. I was unable to do this before, and the Department now implicitly trusts the accuracy of the information.”
Qube Global Software added: “Planet is a functionally rich product, packed into a design philosophy that encompasses a user-friendly, intuitive interface. Each business process can be purchased separately, yet remain tightly linked together, allowing continuous and immediate access to information. One-time data entry minimises re-keying information across business processes, and our carefully designed flexibility allows processes and controls to be matched perfectly to the customer’s requirements.
