The system behind our consistency, accountability, and people-first service

Great facilities management relies on two things: people who care and systems that prevent problems. At Optimum, Connecteam© is the backbone of how we train, support, and manage teams across multiple sites, giving you clear visibility into performance and a more reliable service with fewer surprises.

Why it matters to you

When you’re responsible for a site, you need answers to simple questions:

Connecteam© helps us answer those questions with confidence, and act fast when something changes.

What Connecteam© helps us do

Accurate, geo-fenced time tracking

Every site has a geo-fence. Operatives clock in and out through the app.

That means:

  • accurate time capture
  • less room for error
  • fewer disputes
  • cleaner reporting for reviews

If someone clocks out outside the geo-fence, it flags an anomaly. A manager can approve, decline, or message the operative to clarify what happened.

What you get: more control, better accountability, and fewer “grey areas”.

Proactive cover when someone doesn’t show

Because shifts are scheduled in advance, the system can alert managers if someone hasn’t clocked in at the right time.

So instead of finding out late, we can act early:

  • identify the gap
  • deploy cover quickly
  • protect standards on your site

 

This is one of the reasons Optimum stays consistent — even when real-life happens.

Seamless payroll and cleaner admin

Once timesheets are approved, they can be exported into payroll (BrightPay).

This makes payment smoother and more reliable for operatives — which supports retention and stability.

And for you, stability matters because:

  • standards stay consistent
  • site knowledge stays in place
  • teams take ownership over time

Compliance and onboarding — all in one place

Connecteam© also works as our “cloud filing cabinet” for onboarding and compliance.

We use it to collect and store documentation such as:

  • right to work
  • IDs and onboarding details
  • training records
  • DBS evidence where required

 

Documents can include expiry dates, so we can manage renewals properly — and avoid last-minute surprises.

Better still: operatives can access key documents from their own app dashboard if they’re ever challenged on site.

Training that supports consistent standards

We use in-app courses and training content to help operatives stay confident and up to date.

This supports:

  • safer working with easy access to all company policies 
  • consistent processes for clear understanding
  • better delivery across different sites
  • less reliance on “word of mouth” training

It’s part of how we deliver a uniform standard of service.

A connected workforce, not isolated sites

Most FM firms run sites like separate islands. We don’t.

Connecteam© gives us a shared community space where teams can:

  • see updates and news
  • access helpful resources
  • welcome new starters
  • recognise wins and celebrate progress
  • share questions and solutions

 

This builds a culture of care and belonging — which translates directly into service quality on your site.

Reporting and audits: how it fits together

Connecteam© supports delivery, and our audit system proves performance. Audits are tailored to your site, issues are logged with photos, actions are tracked, and results are scored and reviewed clearly.
