PPM Scheduling Software for Dubai Facilities Operations
Custom planned preventive maintenance (PPM) scheduling software for Dubai FM operations and large estates. Built around planned maintenance calendars, statutory inspection cycles, asset compliance, contractor scheduling, and continuous evidence. Designed to sit alongside the CAFM, EAM, and BMS systems an FM operation already runs rather than replace them.
Why Dubai FM operations outgrow spreadsheet PPM
Dubai Municipality maintains statutory examination guidance for lifts (Guideline 48) and pressure vessels (Guideline 47), and RERA requires maintenance documents inside annual service-charge approvals. A spreadsheet PPM regime cannot hold statutory cycles, asset compliance, and evidence together across a portfolio.
Statutory cycles tracked manually
Lift and pressure-vessel statutory examinations have fixed cycles. In a spreadsheet they are missed until they lapse, not surfaced ahead of time.
PPM adherence invisible
Whether planned maintenance is actually happening on schedule across sites is reconstructed monthly rather than seen live.
Evidence reconstructed for audits
RERA service-charge approvals and owner audits require maintenance evidence. Assembled after the fact, it is slower and weaker than continuous capture.
Contractor certificates lapse unseen
Specialist contractor certifications expire without warning when they are tracked outside the PPM system.
PPM software built for the Dubai statutory reality
Four capability areas designed around the statutory-cycle, evidence-driven reality of Dubai FM planned maintenance.
Statutory cycle scheduling
Lift, pressure-vessel, and fire-system statutory cycles modelled per asset, surfaced ahead of due dates, never silently lapsing.
PPM adherence tracking
Planned maintenance completion tracked live per asset and site, so adherence is a current number, not a monthly reconstruction.
Continuous evidence
Maintenance, inspection, and contractor-certificate evidence captured as work happens, so the RERA and owner-audit pack exists at any time.
Contractor and certificate control
Specialist contractor certificates tracked against the assets they cover, with expiry surfaced before it bites.
Lift and pressure-vessel examinations run on fixed statutory cycles. A PPM system that does not enforce them is a liability, not a calendar.
Where maintenance risk actually sits.
A timeline view shows the PPM and statutory horizon so inspection and maintenance checkpoints do not lapse silently.

Talk to us about PPM scheduling software.
A short call surfaces whether a custom build makes sense for your operation. Best positioned for Dubai FM operations and large estates with statutory-bound planned maintenance. Working with your technical, compliance, and operations teams during discovery, we map current systems, regulatory and SLA workflow, and where a custom layer adds value. If discovery shows the problem is process rather than software, we say so. BY BANKS is an independent software engineering company: we design and build the platform and hand it over, your team operates it. Regulator, authority, and product names on this page are referenced descriptively to describe interoperability and scope, and imply no affiliation, endorsement, certification, or approval.
How PPM scheduling software works for Dubai operations
The detail behind the headline - from statutory-cycle scheduling and adherence tracking, through continuous evidence, to contractor-certificate control.
What changes, in practical terms
Statutory maintenance only protects you if the system surfaces it before the due date. Found after, it is already a finding.
The detailed questions Dubai FM operations ask us
Expand each to see how a custom layer actually works.
What does PPM scheduling software for Dubai actually cover?
Who this is for: Dubai FM operations and large estates with statutory-bound planned maintenance. Less suited to a single low-asset building. Custom software is where statutory cycles, adherence, and evidence justify a bespoke layer.
Four connected areas: (1) statutory cycle scheduling, (2) PPM adherence tracking, (3) continuous evidence, and (4) contractor and certificate control.
Does it replace our CAFM or EAM?
No. It sits alongside CAFM such as Facilio, MRI Evolution, eFACiLiTY, and Planon and EAM such as IBM Maximo, SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, and IFS Cloud EAM. Those keep asset-record authority; the custom layer enforces statutory cycles and keeps the evidence the others do not.
How does statutory cycle scheduling work?
Lift, pressure-vessel, and fire-system statutory cycles are modelled per asset to the relevant Dubai Municipality and Civil Defence requirements, surfaced ahead of due dates so they never silently lapse.
How is PPM adherence tracked?
Planned maintenance completion is tracked live per asset and site so adherence is a current figure rather than a monthly reconstruction.
How is evidence handled?
Maintenance, inspection, and contractor-certificate evidence is captured as work happens, so the RERA service-charge and owner-audit pack exists at any time. This gives your team a continuous, inspection-ready evidence trail. Maintaining regulatory compliance remains the provider's responsibility - the software supports it, it does not assume it.
How are contractor certificates controlled?
Specialist contractor certificates are tracked against the assets they cover, with expiry surfaced before it bites rather than discovered when a job cannot proceed.
What does this sit alongside in a typical Dubai FM stack?
A custom PPM layer sits inside a wider UAE FM technology stack.
Core FM platforms - sits alongside CAFM and IWMS platforms used in the UAE such as Facilio, MRI Evolution, eFACiLiTY, and Planon.
Asset and field service - integrates with EAM systems such as IBM Maximo, SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, and IFS Cloud EAM and field-service platforms such as Dynamics 365 Field Service and MRI Evolution GO.
Building, property and compliance - integrates with building-management platforms such as Honeywell Forge, Siemens Desigo CC, Schneider EcoStruxure Building, and Johnson Controls OpenBlue, property and service-charge systems such as Yardi Voyager and ADDA (Mollak-linked owners-association and service-charge systems), and HSE and permit-to-work systems such as Novade HSE and EcoOnline ePermits; complements Dubai Civil Defence (Hassantuk), Dubai Land Department and RERA (Mollak), Dubai Municipality (Al Sa'fat, technical guidelines for lifts and pressure vessels), and DEWA / Etihad ESCO.
Enterprise - integrates with SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance for finance.
Integration approach is scoped during discovery based on what the operation is already running. We don't ask anyone to rip and replace systems that work.
How long to go live, and what does it cost?
Discovery runs four to six weeks. Working with your technical, compliance, and operations teams, we map current systems, statutory cycles, PPM regime, and evidence practice, and integration scope. Output is a detailed report with current-state map, architecture, integration scope, phased plan, and a fixed-price build proposal.
Core build runs ten to fourteen weeks from discovery completion. Full rollout phases in over six to twelve months depending on scope and integration breadth.
Pricing varies by scope, integration breadth, and complexity. A bracket isn't published; discovery produces a fixed-price proposal with no obligation to proceed.
