Imagine a job where you have a perfect overview of all aspects of your property or facility. A CAFM system can help with that. But how to find the right one?

Do I need a system?

Before you start choosing, it's important to find out if you need such a system and what your specific requirements are.


Start by mapping out how you currently manage assets and facilities, and how you would like to do it in the future. Take into account your existing data sources, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and Human Resources (HR) management systems. Based on this, select a suitable solution.


Essential functionalities

Determine what activities and areas the asset and facilities management system will be used in. Describe your current asset and facilities management process settings and decide whether you want to maintain or change and improve them.


Personnel provision

Have a person in the company responsible for selecting and implementing the system. Cooperation between the internal IT department and future system users is important.


Who are asset and facilities management systems for?

Asset and facilities management systems are useful for property owners, property management companies, operators, and tenants.


Examples of use in various industries

These systems are used in industry, logistics, shopping centres, office buildings, healthcare facilities, public administration, and building management (unit owner communities).
