It was encouraging to learn that <strong>80% of organisations who participated in the survey confirmed that their use of CAFM software has helped to enhance their FM reporting<\/strong> and <strong>64% confirmed it improved their KPI and SLA performance. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s show has a significant focus on technology and with so much discussion surrounding IoT, automation, integration, smart buildings, robotics, mobile and self-service, here are some key reasons why you visit Service Works Group on <strong>stand R700<\/strong> at the show between 20th \u2013 22nd June:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Perhaps unsurprisingly Service Works Group\u2019s FM Technology Survey showed that mobile usage has increased, with <strong>72% of respondents reporting that they use mobile apps to manage their contractors and operatives.<\/strong> Service Works mobile app, QFM, provides unprecedented access (both online and offline) from any device across iOS and Android. The app has an easy to use graphical interface to optimise user experience. Live QFM app demos will be available throughout the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The survey also highlighted a rise in self-service with <strong>66% of organisations now using self-service<\/strong> within the FM environment to enable building occupants and operatives to log and manage requests online. QFM\u2019s self-service functionality provides instant access to information and can reduce pressure from your helpdesk team by enabling the user to report an incident, book a room or catering or request porterage services via their mobile, desktop or a kiosk in a public area of your building.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Cloud-based applications are becoming more prevalent, with <strong>44% of the sector now accessing their CAFM system via the Cloud<\/strong>. QFM\u2019s cloud solution provides a fully managed environment which can significantly reduce the cost of in-house hardware and IT management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>With the introduction of <strong>BIM Level 3<\/strong>, our experienced team will be on hand to explain how <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swg.com\/aus\/subproducts\/qfm-space\/\">space management software<\/a><\/strong> and BIM (Building Information Modelling) can be integrated, to streamline the transition from a building\u2019s construction to live operation and improve asset management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>FM software can bring far reaching benefits, both to a facilities department and across an entire organisation, especially when integrated with other software systems. Service Works\u2019 team can talk you through how to create and manage a CAFM integration project, including: Internet of Things (IoT), Building Management Systems (BMS), Accounting Software (such as SAP and Sage) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Resources (HR) tools, Smart Assets and Building Information Modelling (BIM).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you would like to pre-book a meeting with the Service Works team at Facilities Show, or are unable to attend and would like to arrange a demonstration of market-leading QFM software, please email <a href=\"mailto:info@swg.com\">info@swg.com<\/a> or call 020 8877 4080.<\/p>\n<p>To register for the Facilities Show click <a href=\"https:\/\/registration.n200.com\/survey\/3vr2heagpeagv?actioncode=NTWO000060SIM&amp;partner-contact=0lbhwlj2fanxc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Service Works Group will be exhibiting again this year on stand R700, showcasing QFM software, our marketing leading CAFM application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":8881,"template":"","categories":[60],"class_list":["post-8880","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fm"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swg.com\/aus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/8880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swg.com\/aus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swg.com\/aus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swg.com\/aus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swg.com\/aus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swg.com\/aus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swg.com\/aus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
