Industry Challenges

Why Traditional Safety Management is Failing Facilities

1

Diverse Contractor Activities Are Hard to Coordinate

Facilities managers oversee HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and renovation contractors simultaneously. Without a unified system, scheduling conflicts and safety gaps are inevitable.

2

Work in Occupied Buildings Adds Complexity

Maintenance and construction work must be coordinated around building occupants. Paper permits cannot communicate real-time restrictions to all stakeholders effectively.

3

Regulatory and Insurance Requirements Keep Growing

Building codes, fire safety regulations, and insurance requirements demand verifiable records of all contractor activities and safety compliance.

4

Managing Permits Across Multiple Properties Is Chaotic

Facilities portfolios with dozens of buildings make it impossible to maintain centralized oversight using spreadsheets and email-based permit processes.

How It Works

Every property, every permit, one platform

Gate PTW gives facilities managers a centralized system to manage contractor access, track permits, and maintain compliance records across their entire property portfolio. From a single office building to a nationwide portfolio, every permit follows a controlled digital workflow.

1

Assessment and permit process

Create a digital permit specifying the property, building area, work type, and contractor details. Attach risk assessments and verify contractor qualifications automatically.

2

Communication and Authorization

Send the permit to property managers, building security, and contractor supervisors. Digital approvals ensure no work starts without proper authorization.

3

Real-Time Tracking and Execution

Monitor all active permits across your portfolio on a centralized dashboard. Track contractor activity, work progress, and safety conditions in real time.

4

Closure, Control, and Reporting

Close permits with completion checks and contractor sign-off. All data is stored for regulatory compliance, insurance documentation, and portfolio-level reporting.

Features

Unlimited users, full control

Contractor pre-qualification

Verify contractor certifications, insurance, and training records digitally before they set foot on any of your properties.

Multi-property visibility

See all active permits across your entire portfolio on a single dashboard, with drill-down to individual buildings and floors.

Automated compliance records

Every permit action generates auditable records automatically, simplifying regulatory reporting and insurance documentation.
