Many organisations invest in CAFM software to improve facilities management, but few take full advantage of everything the system can do. As budgets tighten and expectations on FM teams continue to grow, making better use of existing technology can deliver significant cost savings without additional investment.
To help organisations achieve this, Service Works Global (SWG) has launched its new guide to maximising ROI from CAFM software – a practical resource showing facilities managers how to reduce costs, improve operational performance and extract greater value from their own system.
Among the practical examples included are ways to:
- reduce contractor costs through better performance monitoring and spend analysis
- improve asset lifecycle decisions using maintenance and cost data
- optimise workplace space and reduce unnecessary operational costs
- strengthen SLA compliance and service delivery through automation and reporting
- manage energy consumption to meet sustainability goals
- prepare building data for BIM-enabled facilities management and future digital twin initiatives.
Examples provided are based on our CAFM software, QFM, but will apply to similar CAFM platforms.
The guide also demonstrates that return on investment extends beyond direct financial savings. By improving service delivery, compliance, operational resilience and workplace experience, CAFM can help facilities teams become strategic contributors to organisational performance rather than simply a cost centre.
Hazel Bedson, Marketing Director at Service Works Global, says:
“With increasing pressure to reduce costs while maintaining compliance and delivering excellent service, facilities teams need to get more value from the technology they already have. Too often we see organisations using only a small proportion of their CAFM system’s capabilities. This guide is designed to provide practical ideas that can be implemented immediately to help reduce costs, improve operational performance and maximise return on investment.”
