🔧Product · Facilities & Work Orders

The building, finally on the books.

Asset registry, vendor catalog, work orders, preventive maintenance, building access.

A synagogue is a physical building with HVAC, plumbing, sanctuary fixtures, kitchen equipment, security systems — and right now, when something breaks, the workflow is a phone call to a board member, an email forwarded three times, and a maintenance receipt that ends up in a folder no one ever opens. MyBimah Facilities is the operations layer for the building: every asset registered, every vendor catalogued, every work order tracked end-to-end, every recurring maintenance task on a calendar, and every key accounted for.

In development

Designed alongside Projects + Pulse — same threading, same audit trail.

Facilities reuses the proven Pulse infrastructure and connects to the new Projects module so a major capital project absorbs its work orders cleanly. Request access to shape the early build.

Five pieces, one operations system

Asset registry

Every physical thing that can break

HVAC units, water heaters, sanctuary microphones, kitchen ovens, fire-suppression systems, parking-lot lights, even the pews — everything registered with location, room, serial, install date, warranty expiry, and assigned vendor. The history of every service event lives on the asset, so when the AC unit in the social hall is on its fifth repair this year, the data tells you it's time to replace, not patch.

Work orders

From request to completion, with a paper trail

A real ticketing model with priority, assignee (internal staff or external vendor), expected and actual completion, cost tracking, and a state machine that mirrors Pulse: new, acknowledged, scheduled, in-progress, completed, cancelled. Photo attachments, before-and-after documentation, vendor invoices stored against the order. Searchable by asset, by location, by vendor, by year.

Vendor catalog

Who you call, with the history attached

The HVAC company, the plumber, the electrician, the locksmith, the kitchen-equipment service, the sound technician — contact info, service-area notes, current contracts, billing terms, ratings, and a complete history of every job they've done at the synagogue. When the executive director leaves, the next one inherits the institutional knowledge instead of starting cold.

Preventive maintenance

The work that prevents the emergencies

Recurring schedules — quarterly HVAC filter changes, annual fire-extinguisher inspections, monthly elevator certification, spring sukkah-frame inspection. The platform generates work orders ahead of due dates, surfaces overdue items prominently, and keeps the maintenance log auditable for insurance + safety inspections.

Building access

Keys, badges, and the audit trail no one currently has

A keyholder roster with what each person carries (sanctuary key, social-hall key, kitchen, office, mechanical), RFID and key audit log when the synagogue runs an electronic system, contractor day-pass workflow, alarm-code rotations with encrypted storage, and a clean off-boarding checklist when a board member or staff role transitions.

The dashboards

What the executive director sees first thing Monday morning

Open work orders by priority. Overdue preventive tasks. Assets approaching warranty expiry. Spend-by-vendor for the year-to-date. Building-access changes from the past week. The kind of operational visibility that small synagogues currently reconstruct from scratch every time someone asks.

Pulse → Work Order → Project: the full pipeline

A congregant submits a Pulse ticket: “the heat in the social hall is broken.” A staff member reviews and clicks Promote to Work Order. The new work order auto-links to the social-hall HVAC asset, inherits the description, and stays linked to the originating ticket so the submitter sees progress on their status link. If the work order turns out to be a $15,000 unit replacement rather than a $400 repair, a manager promotes it again into a Project — phases for vendor selection, budget approval, installation, post-install testing — with the work order rolling up underneath.

The same thread runs through all three surfaces. The submitter sees it as a public progress feed. The maintenance team sees it as a work order with vendor + cost details. The board sees it as a project with budget and timeline. One trail, three lenses.

How it connects

  • Pulse. Building-related tickets elevate to work orders with one click. The originating ticket stays open and linked.
  • Projects. Capital projects absorb their related work orders; the project dashboard rolls up cost and completion totals automatically.
  • Locations and rooms. Assets live in the existing tenant locations and rooms catalog, so the building map is shared with services, lifecycle events, and rentals.
  • Calendar. Scheduled maintenance events surface on the synagogue calendar so they don't collide with services, weddings, or rental bookings.
  • Email templates. Vendor notifications, work-order confirmations, and preventive-maintenance reminders run through the same tenant-editable template engine the rest of the platform uses.
