Operations

Every branch open and every kitchen running, from the manager's report to the fixed fault.

Maintenance for every store and restaurant in your chain, from the branch manager's report to the closed work order, with technicians moving between branches on the map.

Overview

Ehkam Branch Maintenance runs maintenance across your stores and restaurants end to end. Branch managers report faults in a minute, maintenance dispatches technicians, the work is done and recorded at the branch, preventive maintenance for kitchens, HVAC and refrigeration arrives on time, and every branch and piece of equipment keeps its full history. It works in Arabic and English, on the web and on the mobile app.

Because Ehkam is a configurable platform, you can shape it to your own procedures: the information each record holds, the forms, the steps a record moves through, who may do what, and what you see on your dashboards. You can do all of this without changing any code.

At a glance

How it works

  1. Report

    A branch manager reports a fault through a simple form, naming the branch and equipment.

  2. Dispatch

    Maintenance turns it into a work order with a priority, a trade and a technician.

  3. Repair

    The technician does the work at the branch and records the actual start and end.

  4. Prevent

    Preventive maintenance for kitchens, HVAC and refrigeration is created on schedule.

  5. Review

    Dashboards show open and late work by branch, and which equipment fails most.
