Mintek Releases White Paper
Makes Case for Automated Asset Management, Preventive Maintenance
DUNEDIN, FL, September 12, 2006. Mintek Mobile Data Solutions has released a white paper entitled, "The Case for Automated Asset Management & Preventive Maintenance." The document makes the case for implementation of an automated solution such as Mintek's Lodging Asset Management Suite to protect and extend the life of a hotel's physical assets. The white paper includes examples of hotels that have implemented the company's handheld, bar code and ASP-based systems.
"Smart hotel owners and operators know that proper maintenance and management of hotel's assets will result in extended asset life and fewer breakdowns," says Lind Hutton, executive vice president and c.o.o. of Dunedin, Fla.-based Mintek, which has installed automated systems in almost 300 hotels throughout North America. "In addition, a proactive asset management approach can result in significant energy savings, a safer work environment, higher profitability and increased guest satisfaction."
The white paper details each part of the Lodging Asset Management Suite-WinTrack PM, Maintenance Portal, Alerts, Asset Director and Work Order Kiosk-and how each helps make preventive maintenance and asset management easier to accomplish. The white paper is available upon request and at Mintek's website.
