Guidelines and considerations when selecting and introducing CAFM software

CAFM software (or computer-aided facility management software) is a digital solution used to manage and optimise building-related activities such as space management, maintenance and asset management. It is used in industries such as healthcare, education and manufacturing to optimise processes, improve efficiency and reduce costs. The functions of CAFM software include providing a centralised platform for managing all building-related data, automating processes, generating reports

Is CAFM software at an end if 6D BIM keeps getting better?

The question of whether CAFM software is still relevant is raised by advances in BIM technology. There are unique aspects that CAFM systems can offer despite the increasingly better BIM 6D technology. For example, they enable comprehensive monitoring of buildings and support facility management. However, it can be observed on the market that BIM software (forgive the inaccuracy, yes, there is no such thing as "BIM software", it's a method, of course, but here it is anyway) is becoming increasingly popular.

BIM method and CAFM software: a view of the entire property life cycle

The BIM method (Building Information Modelling) and CAFM software (Computer-Aided Facility Management) play a key role in the entire property life cycle. The BIM method makes it possible to create, visualise and manage extensive information about a building or facility. Studies show that many benefits can be realised through the integration of BIM and CAFM. The BIM method uses fundamental principles such as centralised data management and a model-based approach to manage the entire life cycle of a building.

The cost of not using CAFM

Non-utilisation of CAFM (Computer-Aided Facility Management) can have a significant financial impact on companies today. Inadequate management and monitoring of property resources can lead to inefficient space planning, maintenance deficiencies and increased energy consumption. These issues can have a direct impact on operational costs as organisations have to devote additional resources to rectifying errors and inefficient processes. In addition, they can also lead to a loss of productivity, as employees

What data should I enter into a CAFM system and how do I maintain it?

A CAFM system requires accurate and up-to-date information in order to function effectively. It is therefore important to know what data needs to be entered and how best to manage it. In addition to basic information such as building location and size, specific details such as the number of rooms, technical equipment and maintenance logs should also be recorded. Structured documentation of contracts, invoices and other relevant documents is also crucial. To ensure that

CAFM software: Is it better to buy standard software or develop your own CAFM software?

Deciding between buying off-the-shelf software or developing your own CAFM software can be a challenge. It is important to understand the pros and cons of both options and to consider the individual requirements of the organisation. Choosing off-the-shelf software benefits from already established functions and the ability to draw on a broad user base. This can save time and benefit from proven solutions. However, these software solutions may be

The best excuses why you should not introduce CAFM software in your company

There are various reasons why companies have not yet introduced CAFM software. Financial constraints could play a role, as organisations may not have enough money to cover the cost of such software. Another reason could be a lack of awareness, as employees and managers are not sufficiently informed about the benefits that CAFM software can offer. Sometimes there is also potential for internal resistance, such as a lack of support from management
