How PublicanOps works
From paper checklist to a live workflow.
Schedule it, assign it, complete it on mobile, and report on what happened. Records can carry into shift reports, manager handovers and asset history where relevant.
- 1Step 1
Schedule
From report to resolution
PublicanOps turns each maintenance request into a trackable action from the moment it's raised through to sign-off.
- 2Step 2
Assign
Raised on mobile
Staff submit from the floor with a photo and the affected asset selected.
- 3Step 3
Complete
Routed and tracked
Requests route to the right internal team or contractor with status visible to managers.
- 4Step 4
Report
Logged to the asset
Every job lives on the asset's fault and service history forever.
Completed records flow straight into venue reports, manager handovers and — for maintenance and asset checks — your asset history, so nothing has to be re-keyed.
