Makes PPM Straightforward
Schools, Academies, Colleges and Universities often have buildings of different ages and construction, requiring regular surveys and inspections, and planned and preventative maintenance work to be carried out throughout the year.

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) tasks, as well as scheduled testing, can be managed simply and easily from within your CAFM solution; ensuring nothing is missed. You can clearly see what is coming up, (along with its cost’s), schedule in the work and plan well; pro-longing the life of your buildings and assets whilst preventing unplanned failures and unexpected costs arising.

Reactive Estates Helpdesk
Manging fault reporting and work requests can be complex, but a good CAFM solution can make this simple. Staff can log faults, and the real time updates enable you to monitor what is happening at every stage of works, including the costs of each job; even answering queries as they arise.

Simplified Reporting
With saved templates and the ability to add further reports as you need them, gone are the days where you spend frustrating hours finding the information you need for your reports. Run the reports you need at the touch of a button.

Information On-the-Go
With secure access to all your information and documentation you, your team and even your contractors, should be able to work from anywhere with one simple log-in.
Live updates and the ability to attach photos and documents to tasks mean you can see job progression in real time, and have the information available to make immediate decisions, as well as a useful record of what has been done.

Managing Your Compliance
Hand in hand with PPM is ensuring everything across your estate complies with relevant legislative requirements. Good CAFM includes a comprehensive Compliance Certificate Register; enabling you to view all your key compliance dates and documents for your estate’s assets in once place.  

Your software should also remind you when renewals are due; warning you ahead of time so you can budget and plan accordingly.

Make Informed Space Decisions
CAFM helps you keep track of which department is occupying which space, its’ area, the heated volume of each room, along with the overall usage figures, centrally and in real time.

With up-to-date information at your fingertips, you can release space for its best use, enabling space utilisation decisions to be made. It also makes your space reporting easy and fast.
