SFG20 gives you one source of truth to work from: your schedules can be customised to suit your facility’s unique needs, and these schedules can be shared with internal teams and external contractors for completion of works.
    • SFG20’s schedules are colour-coded by priority. This means you can easily identify which activities are Statutory, Optimal and Discretionary. With an at-a-glance view of your maintenance requirements, it becomes even simpler to keep your assets in good condition.
  • Create a Safe Environment for Your Athletes and Spectators
    • SFG20 empowers maintenance personnel to incorporate a proactive maintenance approach that focuses on routine maintenance rather than repairing assets when problems arise. Proactive maintenance gives you, your athletes, spectators and your staff the peace of mind that the equipment and facilities are in a safe and functional condition. From training to playing a match, athletes can then focus on their sport and your staff can focus on maintaining excellent levels of service.
