Achieving Complete Asset Control Across a 6-Mall, 2.4 Million Sq. Ft. Retail & Property Portfolio

55,000+ assets. Six properties. Zero unified visibility.

Massive untracked asset sprawl
HVAC units, escalators, CCTV systems, retail fixtures, food court equipment, signage, generators, and parking systems spread across six malls — maintained by separate FM vendors with no central register. Thousands of assets existed outside any inventory system.
Reactive maintenance & costly breakdowns
No preventive maintenance schedules meant critical systems — escalators, chillers, fire suppression — were serviced only after failure. Each breakdown directly impacted footfall, tenant satisfaction, and rental revenue recovery.
!
Fragmented vendor & AMC management
Twelve different FM and maintenance vendors operated across the six properties with overlapping contracts, missed SLAs, and no single point of visibility. AMC renewals were regularly missed, leaving critical assets unserviced and under warranty exposure.
!
Tenant disputes & fit-out tracking failures
Tenant fit-out assets and landlord-provided fixtures were routinely confused, leading to disputes at lease-end over asset ownership, condition, and reinstatement liability. No baseline asset handover records existed for 60% of active leases.

A property-by-property asset transformation, zero operational disruption

Phase 1 · Months 1–2  ·  Discovery

Full physical census, QR tagging & asset classification across all six malls

Property-by-property physical verification teams deployed across all six retail and mixed-use properties — working in zones to avoid disrupting trading hours. Every asset category catalogued: HVAC and chiller systems, escalators and elevators, fire safety systems, electrical infrastructure, CCTV and access control, generators, parking management systems, retail fixtures, food court equipment, common area furniture, signage, and tenant fit-out items. 55,000+ assets formally inventoried with unique QR codes, geo-tagged locations, assigned FM zone, condition grading, installation date, warranty status, and responsible vendor.

Phase 2 · Months 3–5  ·  Standardise

Unified RPAM platform, vendor consolidation & AMC lifecycle tracking

All discovered assets migrated into a single Retail & Property Asset Management platform with standardised classification — asset categories by system type, property zone, tenant vs landlord ownership, and maintenance criticality. All twelve FM vendors onboarded into the platform with SLA parameters, contact details, and AMC contract dates. Tenant fit-out asset registers created for every active lease, establishing clear ownership boundaries for 100% of current tenants. ₹3.6 crore in previously untracked landlord assets formally inventoried and valued for the first time.
