UAF Facilities Services has received a top award from the vendor that provides its daily operations software.

AssetWorks presented its Achievement Award at the annual users conference held April 11-13, 2017, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The award recognizes UAF's outstanding work during the past few years while implementing and using the AiM software.

AssetWorks has more than 1,000 customers, not only in the education sector but also in the corporate sector. Being singled out to receive the AssetWorks Achievement Award is truly an honor and shows Facilities Services' commitment to improving the processes for its campus customers.

Facilities Services recently brought numerous innovations and upgrades to its processes. For example, it adopted AiM's mobile functionality, which allows shop techs to access work order and equipment information in the field. Service techs can use an iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone.

The mobile technology has also allowed the shop techs to eliminate daily paper timecards and enter their time directly into the AiM system. During the past few years, this has cut paper usage by hundreds of thousands of pages and eliminated double entry of data into AiM.
