York County, Virginia is home to about 66,000 residents and has 50 public facilities totaling approximately 500,000 square feet. In April of 2012 the Facilities Maintenance Division vastly improved its asset management system by deploying hand held tablets to field technicians. These small portable web based units are cost effective, user friendly, allow real time updates to technicians and management enabling the division to expedite service delivery and provide staff with onsite asset information at their fingertips anywhere in the county. Tablets have also provided the county with the means to “go green” and install a paperless work order system reducing operational costs, improving security, increasing productivity and reducing storage space.
