Managing business facilities is not an easy task and the larger your company, the harder this task becomes. With the right data, however, you can see where improvements or maintenance needs to happen as well as how well you are using the space and your assets.

Facilities Maintenance

Facilities maintenance is a large area which includes everything from cleaning the floors to making sure that the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are working at peak efficiency. This means using facility data management to track when each maintenance job was performed, what supplies you have on hand and what maintenance schedule you need to create moving forward. You can even see where the bulk of your energy spending is going and whether that can be improved.

Space Utilization

Making the most of the space in your facility can help increase effectiveness and remove costs for space that is not being used. For instance, if you own a building that is largely empty, then space management software and analytics can show you how to completely empty it out for repurpose, renting out or even selling off. Analytics can also show you how to effectively design a given space for your needs whether you need to be able to store more supplies or increase lines of communication between team members.

Asset Management

By incorporating data analytics into your facilities management, you can make sure that your company’s assets are being used properly and well. This means that you can stop making educated guesses on where improvements need to be made and have data-backed models of what is actually happening.

The right data and analytics can help you with almost every aspect of your business, especially facility management. These data sets can help you plan and schedule maintenance tasks, space utilization and asset management to get the most out of your facilities.
