Facilities Management Software

Facilities management software (FM Software) is a program designed to help facility managers better manage their facilities through a single dashboard. This includes repairs, workspace use, occupancy, and much more. Proper and effective use of FM software can save your business time and money.

There are a lot of different benefits to using facilities management solutions like Joblogic. At the core of all the benefits is that it just makes managing facilities easier. Whether it's through helping to track jobs throughout the facility (or even across multiple sites), getting live updates of what your team is up to and where they are through using our app that works across a range of different mobile devices, or just keeping up to date with your inventory management. Hence, you know when to order more stock; facilities management software can help ensure that your work order management is as efficient as it needs to be.

There are five essential KPIs which all facility managers should consider:

• Service-level agreement adherence 
• Average time completion of work 
• Total work orders 
• Number of reactive work orders by asset 
• Time allocation for reactive and preventive maintenance 

With more than 20 years of experience developing facility maintenance systems, Joblogic has designed a platform for easily monitoring these KPIs, which will help you improve the efficiency of your facilities team.

One critical saving potential for businesses using Joblogic is cost transparency. We offer a seamless connection between our software and a range of financial suites, meaning the company can reduce the amount of manual data input per job, saving time and ensuring data consistency.

Joblogic allows companies to analyse their business ahead of new tenders and contracts by studying previous reactive and preventive maintenance job trends. This, in turn, makes it easier to make more competitive bids when tendering without causing issues to current contracts. Having all job data on demand, such as how SLA targets have been met and planned maintenance done, also helps improve a company's position when renewing existing contracts.

Facilities maintenance management systems and CAFM (Computer Aided Facilities Management) software are often interchangeable. Whilst there may be some minor differences between software types, both forms of software enable property owners and facility managers to track and manage the day-to-day operations of their facilities. Whether planning and scheduling work, monitoring asset repairs or keeping on top of stock and inventory facilities, management software can help improve efficiency.

If you're looking to purchase a CAFM, facilities management or facilities maintenance system, then you need to take into consideration several factors:

• Does the software provide an easy way to schedule and track jobs that need doing? 
• Does it have a mobile app that your facilities team can use to update jobs on the go? 
• Does it allow you to properly track your stocks and stores of parts needed for maintenance and repairs? 

If it handles these functions, you have a reasonable basis for your facility management system. You will need to pay attention to other factors like price and have a team of dedicated experts to help you get the most out of your software.

Businesses and organisations use Joblogics FM software across a variety of different sectors. This includes:

Facilities Management Software is broadly categorised into Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) and Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS). CAFM is a comprehensive suite that manages all facility aspects, including assets, space, and work orders. In contrast, CMMS is focused on maintaining equipment and facilities through streamlined maintenance tasks and asset tracking. The choice between the two depends on your specific needs, which vary considerably. That emphasises the importance of considering factors such as the size and complexity of your facilities, budgetary constraints, desired features, software usability, and vendor support infrastructure. By catering to your specific needs, we aim to help you make the best decision for your organisation.
