The easy, affordable way to better asset management
Version 3.1
When Avalon Leisure were looking around for a new asset management system for their fi ve centres in Somerset, it was the price of WAM that attracted them. Now, they say, they can’t put a fi gure on the savings it’s brought the organisation (in time, effi ciency and more) and it has paid for itself and some
organisations across the country who, like Avalon Leisure, have seen huge effi ciencies for their business or organ- isation. Now an updated version is being relaunched as one of the easiest and most effi cient asset management systems and the best value for money on the market.

What makes WAM so affordable? WAM is not charged per user but is accessible for all staff on site for a one-off set up cost per organisation inclusive of training and helpline sup- port.

Managers and supervisors can see at a glance faults reported, the progress of repairs, deprecia- tion values of their assets, contractor servicing and planned preventative maintenance tasks being undertaken. “WAM is web-based so there is no

were increasingly diffi cult to manage because of the level of staff and maintenance. We were completely paper- based,” explains Malcolm Baker, Avalon Leisure’s tech- nical manager. “There were, inevitably, challenges with this. Staff would go to one site to do a repair to fi nd parts had not arrived. Or they’d fi nd another fault had been reported but they were without the equipment they needed to sort it out. Now we can all look at our WAM page anytime, our worksheets are organised for us and everyone is bang up to date. The cost of some asset management programmes was prohibitive, but this wasn’t, it works, and it’s easily paid for itself by improving effi ciency.” ●
