Linked Business Concepts (LBC) provides maintenance planning software for owners/ managers and service providers of buildings and facilities. Our internet-based software product, 360PM, is simple to use and will minimise the administrative burdens of conventional facility management practice. It provides a central hub that brings together facility managers, service providers and building tenants to provide a seamless FM lifecycle.
360PM is highly adaptable with many potential uses but has a primary focus on: Issues Management – through an innovative SMS and email notifi cation system, allows tenants and service providers to be proactive in the reporting, dispatch and resolution of unplanned building issues.
Planned Maintenance Management – allows for the planning and timetabling of programmed maintenance tasks including the attaching and storing of soft copy paperwork. Provides real time updates and ensures both contractor compliance and FM regulatory compliance (eg. Essential Services); all whilst eliminating the paperchase. Contract Management – singular control of all facets of the FM lifecycle, from issue inception right through to financial completion. All financial data can fully integrated with external accounting packages such as SAP and MYOB.
The key benefits include:
Lowers costs - frees up support staff

Facility Management
For over 17 years Facility Management (FM) has been the only Australian publication dedicated exclusively to the facilities management industry.
Published bimonthly, FM is a truly independent publication. Its editorial is tailored to meet the needs of readers – not the vested interests of industry associations. As a result, FM is firmly established as the magazine of first choice for marketing products and services to the purchasing decision-makers responsible for the management of all aspects of the built environment.
Current Issue!
Welcome to the Aug-Sep 10 issue of Facility Management, Australia’s premier independent publication servicing the information needs of facility managers and allied professionals in the property maintenance sector.
In this issue we present a detailed expose of Australia’s cabling crisis; our buildings are being choked by data and electrical cabling and major policy reforms are needed to correct entrenched problems.
And don’t miss the following important features: Retail, Storage, and Landscaping.
Retail
Commercial pressures in retail environments are always present – the facility manager must deliver eye-catching external and internal signage, hygienic washrooms, OHS-compliant access, water-saving HVAC units – and everything else that goes into making a trouble-free, joyous shopping experience!. See out special case study profiling the new Doncaster BMW complex in Bundoora, Melbourne.
Storage
Property purchase and lease costs per square metre are enough to reduce seasoned businesspeople to tears, so the facility manager who can squeeze extra functionality out of limited storage space is delivering tangible returns to his company. We look at automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), as well as the latest developments in data storage.
Landscaping
Many facility managers think of landscaping as a rectangular garden in front of a building… but a new generation of building designers and managers is embracing a far bolder definition of landscaping – one that places plant life within, above and wrapped around a building.
And much, much more!
