What is Computer-Assisted Facility Management (CAFM)?

 

Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) is a software platform that streamlines facilities management and maintenance. CAFM software spans space management, real estate planning, project management, building operations, preventive maintenance, and more.  These systems leverage facilities data into performance metrics and planning tools to optimize the process of managing facilities – archibusOpens in a new tab.

 

Computer-Assisted Facility Management is a revolution in the way FM tasks are carried out. Rather than tracking assets and employees on paper, organizations can now use digitized CAFM programs to easily track, manage, visualize and conceptualize all of the physical elements of an office. CAFM programs focus on space planning and optimization and asset management and are particularly useful while executing facility moves- Space IQOpens in a new tab.
