1.

Enhance Reporting with Analytics

Integrated facilities management (IFM) software can take your reporting capabilities from 0 to 60 mere weeks after implementation.

Running analytics will allow you to:

  • Make informed decisions based on real-time data
  • Track costs and stay on budget
  • Customize reports
  • Set targeted goals with accuracy and precision
2.

Jumpstart Your Preventive Maintenance Plan

  • Organizations can save 12% to 18%1 by acting proactively versus reactively.
  • $1 preventive maintenance
  • = $5 saved down the line

IFM technology enables you to prioritize your preventive maintenance efforts and schedule accordingly.

3.

Access Customized Dashboards

Get a bird's eye view of your entire FM program, or drill down into the details-you can do it all from your desk or in the field.

Personalized portal views give every stakeholder, from the C-suite to the store manager, direct access to the information they need.

4.

Automate Daily Workflows for Every Work Order

Paper work orders are out and automated workflows are in. Are you one of the 53% of companies2 using this groundbreaking automated FM technology to get ahead?

A facilities platform that houses all your key data can help you, your facilities team and your service providers stay up to date on the status of every work order processed at each of your business locations.

5.

Improve Cybersecurity and Reduce Risk

A secure cloud-based system that's been rigorously tested is the best place to store important details about your FM program. Plus, when glitches occur, your IFM solution provider will be there 24/7/365 to offer expert tech support.

6.

Track Asset Data and Enhance Equipment Lifespan

Nearly 80% of all businesses3 using IFM tech see an improvement in equipment life and performance. With technology on your side, you can track:

  • Make informed decisions based on real-time data
  • Track costs and stay on budget
  • Customize reports
  • Set targeted goals with accuracy and precision
7.

No need to coordinate with dozens-or even hundreds-of service providers on your own. Your IFM partner will:

  • Secure licensed service providers, even when emergencies occur
  • Communicate with contractors and technicians if problems arise
  • Resolve issues quickly and efficiently
  • Send project updates directly from the job site, giving you ultimate peace of mind
