What is Facility Management?
Facility management is the methodical process of overseeing, preserving, and maximising a facility’s resources and infrastructure. When it is implemented well, buildings and their asset lifecycles are extended, and operating expenses are reduced. Resulting in a highly functional, presentable, safe, and sustainable facility.
Difference Between Hard and Soft Facilities Management
Hard facilities management is the practice of managing and sustaining an organisation’s physical assets and essential systems, such as buildings, machinery, and equipment. Business operations, maintenance, regulatory obligations and protecting the security of resources and workers are all included in this definition. Since each physical asset is crucial to the facility’s overall functioning, hard facility asset management oversees all of them. On the other hand, human-managed components such as security and cleaning are referred to as soft facility management.
What is Facility Management Software?
Facility management software provides a comprehensive view of your entire asset portfolio, encompassing all assets and facilities, accessible anytime and from anywhere via mobility solutions. Tracking maintenance and resources is crucial for facility maintenance management.
