The story in brief

Parr FM is a leading integrated facilities management provider delivering national coverage across the UK and Ireland. Headquartered in Belfast, the company also has offices in Manchester, Dublin, London, Swindon, and Glasgow. Parr FM supports over 1,000 sites and serves a diverse client base across healthcare, retail, public sector, education, and commercial sectors. With more than 5,000 work orders processed every month, the scale of operations demands a solution that ensures speed, accuracy, and compliance.

Since its founding in 2007, Parr FM has built a reputation for resilience, rapid mobilisation, and technical excellence. The company is trusted by blue-chip clients including Bupa Dental Care, Boots, and numerous NHS trusts. In recent years, Parr FM has expanded rapidly, launching a dedicated healthcare division and doubling its NHS coverage, while maintaining a client retention rate above 97%.

As the business evolved, shortcomings in Parr FM’s previous software became increasingly apparent. The system was inflexible and relied heavily on manual processes, making tasks like scheduling, job tracking, and invoicing cumbersome and time-consuming. This not only limited operational productivity but also hindered the company’s ability to scale seamlessly. To maintain their high standards of service and support ambitious growth plans, Parr FM knew they needed to make a change.

Their Challenge

As Parr FM continued to expand and secure larger, multi-site contracts, a major challenge became clear: their previous software couldn’t keep up with the need for real-time visibility and operational agility. The old system lacked flexibility, demanded manual workarounds, and made it difficult to scale job management and reporting effectively across hundreds of client sites.

How Joblogic helped

Joblogic stood out as the clear choice. Its all-in-one platform offered everything Parr FM needed, from drag-and-drop scheduling and automated invoicing to advanced reporting and seamless data imports. The ability to customise client-facing documents, even adding logos and detailed job information, further elevated the professional image presented to clients and reduced time spent resolving queries

The outcome

Parr FM’s leveraging of Joblogic has driven substantial improvements in effectiveness, reporting accuracy, and the overall client experience.

Challenge & Opportunity

Challenge

Parr FM’s legacy job management system was archaic and inflexible, making it difficult to track costs, manage high-volume client sites, and run operations efficiently as the business expanded across the UK and Ireland.

Manual costing and invoicing took around 15 minutes per job, delaying billing.

The software was not user-friendly, creating friction for day-to-day operations.

Customers sometimes received multiple job sheets per visit, triggering confusion and extra follow-ups.

Parr FM lacked clear insight into engineer utilisation, travel time, and unreported time.

Managing hundreds of sites and PPM schedules increased admin pressure as the business expanded.

Opportunity

Replace the legacy system with a modern platform that improves job control, speeds up billing, and provides better insight into engineer and cost performance.

Automate the job-to-invoice workflow to reduce manual pricing and speed up billing.

Improve control of utilisation, scheduling efficiency, and travel time using reporting and dashboards.

Consolidate outputs so customers receive clearer documentation and fewer duplicate job sheets.

Streamline management of high-volume client sites and PPM scheduling as contracts grow.

Build a foundation for future improvements like electronic timesheets and API-led integrations.

PPM scheduling and custom reporting

With hundreds of sites and strict compliance requirements, Parr FM relies heavily on Joblogic’s PPM scheduling and advanced reporting features to stay on top of maintenance programs and ensure critical tasks are never missed.

OUTCOME & IMPACT

What Joblogic has done for Parr FM

Parr FM’s leveraging of Joblogic has driven substantial improvements in effectiveness, reporting accuracy, and the overall client experience.

Invoicing speed: Previously, it could take up to 15 minutes to cost and prepare each invoice. With Joblogic, this process now takes about one minute per job. This saves countless hours each month, especially when managing hundreds of jobs at a time.

Enhanced reporting and data visibility: Parr FM can now generate detailed, client-specific reports quickly and accurately. This has helped the team identify where costs are higher than expected and make data-driven adjustments to engineer scheduling and resource allocation.

Increased automation: Routine manual tasks, from job sheet management to data imports, are now automated. This has freed up both office staff and engineers to focus on higher-value work and service delivery.

Improved client communication: Outgoing documentation can be fully customised, including adding client logos and detailed job information. This professional presentation has reduced queries, improved first-time resolution rates, and increased overall customer satisfaction.

These operational gains have been achieved while maintaining an exceptional 98% SLA compliance rate across active contracts.
