Planned Portfolio Manager – Automated Workflow
What is Planned Portfolio Manager?
Planned Companies has worked to further simplify your daily operations through a custom-developed ‘Workflow’ application, known as the Planned Portfolio Manager (PPM). Planned Companies has defined PPM as the automation of its business operations, during which documents, information and/or tasks are passed from one Planned associate to another for review & action, according to a set of procedural business rules defined by the Planned Management Team.
Rather than employing separate janitorial, maintenance, security and concierge companies, businesses can rely on Planned Companies to provide all building services as well as assist in managing the workflow through the Planned Portfolio Manager. The app streamlines daily operations and provides a highly automated process control system for our valued clientele in order to provide transparency and consistency in our operational oversight.
With this important philosophy and embracing proven mobile technology, Planned Companies has taken the lead in the industry and developed state-of-the-art Workflow Apps that allow us to continue to exceed our clients’ customer service expectations.

Workflow App Examples
Inspection Report – The operations manager has the ability to conduct, complete and issue an onsite inspection report (via email) to the site’s property manager before leaving the actual location. This Workflow app provides the supervisor with inspection reports, which allows for real-time property assessments that need improvement – therefore creating a streamlined follow-up. Utilizing mobile technology, Planned Companies also includes in its report a photograph of the Planned associate at the time of inspection.
