Installed base
- Device counts by system
- Floor / area associations
- Active vs inactive equipment
- Unsupported or abandoned devices
Use Case
Vendor Takeover / Rebid
Do not replace a vendor before you know what the vendor is supporting.
Incoming vendors inherit undocumented cameras, readers, panels, closets, risers, credentials, abandoned equipment, and bad device counts. A takeover baseline separates facts from assumptions before support responsibility changes hands.
Takeover readiness
Confirm the handoff before support changes hands.
A vendor transition fails when counts, exclusions, platforms, head-end locations, and abandoned equipment are discovered after the contract is already moving. Use the takeover baseline to separate what is confirmed, what is excluded, and what still needs owner or vendor review.

Relevant deliverables
Relevant deliverables for this trigger.
The exact package depends on building size, systems, source records, access, and owner decisions. These are the deliverables most commonly useful for this use case.
Deliverable
Master Inventory
Confirms what the incoming vendor is expected to support.
DeliverableVendor & Platform Matrix
Clarifies installed-by, maintained-by, platform, and support assumptions.
DeliverableException Register
Separates open questions and exclusions before the handoff.
DeliverableFloorplan Overlays
Shows where supported devices sit by floor and area.
DeliverableRedacted Bidder Package
Gives bidders enough context without oversharing sensitive owner details.
Decision support
How the owner record changes this decision.
The same owner-record discipline is routed differently depending on what the trigger requires.
Before takeover
Incoming vendors price from assumptions, stale exports, and incomplete counts.
During transition
The owner can separate confirmed devices, open questions, excluded scope, and bidder-facing records.
After support changes hands
The support baseline stays with the property instead of disappearing into vendor memory.
Before / after
A practical, fictionalized scenario.
This illustrates the decision pattern without implying a specific client result or guaranteed savings.
The owner asks vendors to bid support using a stale device list, unclear platform ownership, and unknown abandoned equipment.
The owner issues a vendor-neutral baseline with confirmed counts, floorplan context, exceptions, and responsibility notes before support changes hands.
