CAFM, or Computer Aided Facilities Management software, has come on in leaps and bounds in recent years; enabling estates and facilities managers, as well as their teams and contractors, to manage their property and work efficiently and more easily. Key features you should now be benefiting from with your CAFM solutions should include the following:


Reactive estates helpdesk Managing fault reporting and work requests can be complex, but a good CAFM solution can make this simple. With real time updates, monitor what is happening at every stage of works, including the costs; even answering queries as they arise.


Semi-automated helpdesk Semi-automated Helpdesks are now standard; with end users logging their faults and issues themselves, freeing up your helpdesk teams to allocate jobs and solve issues rather than simply manning telephones.


Straightforward PPM Planned Preventative Maintenance tasks, as well as scheduled testing, can be managed simply and easily from within your CAFM system; ensuring nothing is missed. See clearly what is coming up, (with estimated costs), schedule in the work and plan accordingly; pro-longing the life of your assets and preventing unplanned failures and unexpected costs arising.


Information on the go With secure access to all your information and documentation you, your team and even your contractors, will be able to work from anywhere with one simple log-in. Live updates and the ability to attach photos and documents to tasks mean you can see job progression in real time, providing you with all information needed to make immediate decisions, as well as a useful record of what has been done, along with the costs.


Simplified reporting With saved templates and the ability to add further reports as you need them, you won’t need to manipulate your data or spend frustrating hours finding the information you need for your reports. Your CAFM should simply run all the reports you need at the touch of a button.


Use your existing technology Modern CAFM runs in real time on secure servers, enabling you, your team, and contractors, to work securely from anywhere, without the cost of buying new technology.


Managed compliance Your CAFM should include a comprehensive Compliance Certificate Register, ensuring everything across your estate complies with relevant legislative requirements. View all your compliance dates and documents for your estates’ assets in once place, and be reminded when renewals are due, so you can plan ahead as well as budget more accurately.
