MARS - Facility Maintenance and Repair Cost Forecast System by Whitestone Research

6.44 - What's this?

MARS is a powerful tool for managing your real estate portfolio. It is both a relational database designed to track the value of your building assets and a forecast system to project the future funding necessary to restore and maintain your facility. MARS is also a management reporting system that provides a collection of pre-defined reports for concisely answering the question: "What should it cost to maintain the functional and financial value of building assets?"
