From Chaos to Control: Solving Facilities & Service Management Challenges with Openscreen Track

In today’s fast-paced, hybrid work environment, the demands placed on Facilities and Field Service Management teams have never been greater. With rotating staff & contractors, a multitude of resources to maintain, and multiple locations, the role of Facilities and Field Service Management has become increasingly complex — and is often underappreciated.

If you're a Facilities Field Service Leader, Compliance and Operations Manager, you know the struggle: disjointed systems, lack of real-time visibility, and manual processes that cost both time and money.

Meet Openscreen Track

Openscreen Track is a powerful, proven and secure platform that uses resource-twinned QR codes and integrated digital processes to deliver support, compliance and service efficiency across your entire facilities and field service ecosystem. Let’s break down how Openscreen Track addresses the most pressing challenges faced by facilities and operations leaders today.

1. “What Was Done in the Field Yesterday?”

Whether you manage an office, campus, or production facility, one of the most common questions you face is: Who was there, when, and what did they do? With hybrid schedules and third-party contractors coming and going, this becomes a logistical headache — especially in the event of an incident or compliance audit. Often, even if you have back-office systems, they’re too physically and logically distant from your field issue to be used effectively.

How Openscreen Track Helps:

• Assign scannable QR codes to your physical resources (locations, assets and equipment)
• Staff and contractors scan them to trigger maintenance, support and service workflows.

• Track interactions in real time, integrate to existing back-end systems, and generate historical reports with just a few clicks.

Result: Instant digital empowerment in the field and increase visibility of activity.

2. “Where’s That Work Order?”

It’s all too common for work orders to get lost in a black hole of emails, sticky notes, or outdated spreadsheets. This leads to missed service windows, incomplete jobs, and frustrated clients or employees.

How Openscreen Track Helps:

• Attach QR codes to equipment or rooms to trigger service requests directly from the site.
• Enable real-time status tracking of every ticket — from request to resolution.
• Route requests to the right technician, team, or third-party vendor automatically.

Result: Fewer delays, better communication, and happier stakeholders.

3. “Can You Prove That Work Was Completed?”

Facilities and operations leaders are increasingly being asked to prove service delivery — whether for compliance, insurance, or internal accountability. Yet most lack a simple way to verify that a task was completed properly and on time.

How Openscreen Track Helps:

• Workers scan the QR code associated with an asset or location before and after service.
• Timestamped logs, technician ID, geolocation, and photos (if needed) can all be captured.
• Generate verifiable reports for compliance audits or client SLAs.

Result: Ironclad proof of service that strengthens trust and protects your team.

4. “We’re Losing Time Because Issues aren’t Reported”

You have processes to report Field & Facilities issues and downtime, but your stakeholders are too busy in the moment to call or contact support. Or, they simply don’t know what to do.

How Openscreen Track Helps:

• Digitally tag each asset with a unique QR code with a simple, “Scan for Support” call to action.
• Give Field and Facilities personnel instant, digital access to report any issues or problems.

• Encapsulate equipment information (make, model, location, serial number) into the QR Code to remove friction from the reporting process.

Result: Make reactive (and proactive) maintenance instantaneous and reduce operational costs and capital expenditures.

5. “We Have Too Many Systems That Don’t Talk to Each Other”

Most facilities and field service environments are burdened by a patchwork of systems like ServiceNow, Salesforce FSM, SAP or IBM Maximo: time tracking apps, service portals, access controls, and outdated databases — none of which share data.

How Openscreen Track Helps:

• Use Openscreen Track to create a workflow that integrates to your key systems like your ITSM, CMMS, FSM and EAM platforms.

• Generate resource specific, QR Codes that activate these workflows for your assets, locations and equipment.
• Manage everything — people, places, and things — from a single dashboard.

Result: Operational simplicity, lower IT overhead, and better decision-making.

Openscreen Track: Serialized QR Codes, Powerful Processes, Key Insights

QR codes have quietly become one of the most powerful tools in modern operations. They’re cost-effective, universally readable by smartphones, and infinitely flexible.

More importantly, Openscreen Track’s no-code digital workflows bring resource-specific QR Codes to life, in a powerful way, delivering smart, frictionless empowerment when and where it matters most, at the Point of Issue.

Whether it’s tagging an HVAC unit, ensuring compliance in remote locations or requesting a repair, a single scan opens a world of automation and visibility.

Real-World Example: Major North American Municipality

A major North American municipality is using Openscreen Track to digitize compliance for tasks like maintenance and inspection. Previously, their field service employees and subcontractors relied on paper-based checklists and manual, post-service entry of tasks and issues. Now, each resource is tagged with a digitally twinned QR code.

Upon every inspection and maintenance activity, authorized personnel scan the QR Code which then triggers a custom, resource specific process that can be completed on any mobile device. The results:

• Faster service completion time
• A reduction in missed inspections
• A digital record of all activity
