The term CAFM (Computer-Aided Facility Management) refers to software solutions that facilitate the tasks of facility management. The aim is to provide facility managers with important information about their tasks, such as the utilization of office space, cleaning cycles or upcoming checks and audits.

With the help of IoT, assets, sensors and systems can be linked together so that they can communicate with each other independently. CAFM software uses this to provide facility managers with efficient planning, documentation and management of their infrastructural resources.

CAFM software helps facility managers to make their work steps more efficient. CAFM makes the entire operational process paperless, i.e. digitized. In this way, facility managers can simply increase the utilization of workstations (Space & Workplace Management), carry out their maintenance more efficiently, and optimize other processes. In the long term, information from the CAFM software enables them to optimize their services and budgets and ideally align them with their core business.

For example, CAFM software can detect when rooms are not in use and automatically adjust the room’s air conditioning there.
