SFG20 Facilities-iQ

SFG20 Facilities iQ’s customer benefits

Facilities-iQ is a powerful software platform that enables users to access and customise the SFG20 standard to create a maintenance regime to suit their estate. For Ultimo customers, it offers compliant maintenance schedules that are aligned with legislation and can be mapped to assets—streamlining delivery and reducing the cost of compliance. 

The SFG20 Facilities-iQ integration with Ultimo

The integration between SFG20 and Ultimo brings compliant, engineer-developed maintenance schedules directly into the Ultimo platform without the need for manual intervention. This removes the need for manual data entry, reduces errors, and ensures a consistent approach to maintenance delivery across sites. As legislation evolves, customers are automatically notified of updates to the SFG20 standard, which they can review and choose when to accept. Once accepted the latest version of the SFG20 schedule flows seamlessly into Ultimo, enabling users to always stay on top of the latest legislative requirements. The result is a streamlined maintenance regime that improves operational efficiency, reduces downtime, and maximises asset life—while helping organisations demonstrate compliance to stakeholders and regulators with ease.

• Automated Schedule Update Notifications: Facilities-iQ advises on updates to the SFG20 standard.

• Compliance Assurance: Ensures maintenance strategies aligns with current legislation and best practice.

Customer case

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust faced challenges as IT Lead Mathew Houghton struggled to manage evolving compliance and manually update maintenance schedules across multiple sites. By implementing the SFG20 standard via Facilities-iQ, the Trust streamlined compliance with legislative requirements and best practice. This eliminated the need for a full-time compliance hire, saved 20% of weekly time (around 7.5 hours), and boosted audit readiness.
