Industries

Estates that have to prove what happened

Prova keeps the same records whichever sector you are in: buildings, assets, work orders, certificates and the evidence behind them. What changes between industries is which obligations bite, who is allowed to see what, and where the cost has to land. These are the estates we build for.

Many sites, few people

Retail

A store estate is dozens or hundreds of small sites, each run by a manager with a shop to look after and no facilities training. The same obligations repeat at every one of them, and the person reporting a fault is whoever happens to be standing there.

  • A store manager raises a job from the shop floor and sees their own store only, because access follows the estate rather than a list.
    Permissions
  • A new store joins the right routines by rule instead of by somebody remembering to add it.
    Estate
  • A regional contractor stops being assignable the day their insurance lapses.
    Contractors
  • Repeat refrigeration and HVAC failures accumulate into a case for replacing the unit.
    Reliability

The heaviest statutory load

Healthcare

Hospitals and clinics carry more statutory obligations per building than any other kind of estate: fire, electrical, water hygiene, medical gas, lifts and standby power, each on its own interval. The question is rarely whether the work was done. It is whether you can prove it.

  • Every obligation for every building on one grid, with never filed shown differently from expiring.
    Compliance
  • Certificate, job, photographs and the comment thread as one chain an inspector can walk.
    Evidence
  • Each inspection finding becomes its own corrective job with an owner and a due date.
    Inspections
  • Downtime on critical equipment recorded in a standard shape rather than described in an email.
    Reliability

Landlords and managing agents

Commercial Portfolios

Buildings grouped by fund, owner or region, often across borders. The compliance position of an asset becomes a due-diligence question the moment it is sold, and the cost of running it is usually recoverable from somebody. Both have to be answerable per building, not per portfolio.

  • A building can sit in an ownership portfolio and a rule-based segment at the same time.
    Estate
  • Spend rolled up by building and by trade, with corrections that keep the original figure visible.
    Cost Management
  • Approvals climb the reporting line automatically instead of stalling on one person’s leave.
    Cost Management
  • Local calendars and timezones per building, so public holidays behave correctly in each country.
    Maintenance

Service providers

Facility Management

Delivering FM under contract on somebody else’s estate, where the service agreement sets the response time and the client expects proof you met it. The same evidence that satisfies the client is also the backup for the invoice.

  • The service agreement is carried onto every job the plan raises, with its contracted response time attached.
    Maintenance
  • Each client sees their own estate and nothing else, and a contractor sees only the jobs assigned to them.
    Permissions
  • Labour valued at the rate in force on the day it was logged, and not re-priced when rates change.
    Cost Management
  • Photographs and queries filed against the job rather than sitting in an inbox.
    Evidence

Not on the list? The obligations change from one sector to the next; the records underneath them do not. If you run buildings, carry statutory duties and have to show an auditor what happened, the platform fits. Tell us what you run and we will show you it on your own estate.
