Guardian: Operations

About this app

Guardian: Operations is a modern facilities, maintenance, and operations management platform designed to help organizations report issues quickly, manage work efficiently, and make better business decisions.

Frontline staff can report facility, safety, or maintenance issues in under a minute—no training required. Submissions are instantly structured and routed to the Guardian web platform, giving managers real-time visibility and control across sites, buildings, and assets.

Guardian integrates deeply with email, allowing teams to fully manage tickets without logging into the platform. Users can update ticket status, reassign work, approve actions, and generate RFQs directly from email responses—reducing friction and keeping work moving, even for external vendors or stakeholders.

Beyond day-to-day operations, Guardian provides business intelligence and analytics that turn work data into actionable insights. Organizations can track critical KPIs, capture total cost of ownership (TCO) by site or asset, analyze contract versus in-house labor decisions, and generate heatmaps that highlight operational, maintenance, or safety priorities.

Guardian includes six core workflows covering issue reporting, triage, assignment, vendor coordination, approvals, and resolution tracking. In addition, custom workflows can be created to match how your organization actually operates—ensuring the system adapts to your processes, not the other way around.

Whether you manage a single site or a distributed portfolio, Guardian helps teams respond faster, operate smarter, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.
