Retail giant Carrefour selected Siveco China to implement a nationwide Risk Prevention system. The system is based on Siveco's bluebee^® Facility Management portal and its bluebee^® mobile solution for field technicians. Carrefour is operating 185 stores in China and it is planning to open another 25 stores in the country by the end of this year.

bluebee^® cloud is a standard off-the-shelf software platform offering an entirely web-based user interface, a "portal" similar to Yahoo or iGoogle, enabling easy access to all necessary data from the central database and external systems. The portal is accessible from any browser on large-screen display, desktop or tablet PC, using a secure login.

bluebee^® cloud provides built-in RP/FM functionality and is designed to integrate with other sub-systems (alarms, help desk) and web services (weather reports, live video surveillance streams). It can accommodate future extensions and custom-made plug-ins, thanks to the use of open technologies.

For example, bluebee^® cloud can be coupled with a crisis management platform designed by our partner MobiGIS (based on a GIS – a geographical information system, maps to display nearby roads, hospitals, etc.) and integrate back into the full Facility Management system.

Finally, Siveco's bluebee^® mobile application provides access to the central system for field personnel using rugged Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs).
