CAFMCMMSSysteme

CAFMCMMSSysteme are integrated software platforms designed to support the discipline of facilities management and maintenance. They merge the functions of CAFM, which focuses on space planning, asset tracking, real estate lifecycle management, and facility operations, with CMMS, which concentrates on maintenance planning, work orders, preventive maintenance, spare parts inventory, and maintenance history. The combined system provides a single source of truth for facilities data and supports lifecycle management of built assets.

Key features typically include asset and location management, preventive and corrective maintenance scheduling, work order management, parts and inventory control, procurement, cost tracking, energy usage, space utilization, and drawing or BIM/CAD integration. Many systems offer mobile access for technicians, offline data sync, and dashboards for performance indicators. Data models usually cover assets, locations, hierarchies, maintenance tasks, PM schedules, work orders, and vendor information, with APIs for ERP interoperability and IoT or sensor data ingestion.

Deployment options range from on-premises to cloud-based or hybrid architectures, with security, user roles, and audit trails. Benefits commonly cited are improved asset availability, reduced downtime, optimised maintenance spend, better regulatory compliance, and enhanced planning through integrated space and asset data. Adoption considerations include data quality and governance, change management, training, and the integration scope with existing ERP, BIM, and building automation systems. CAFMCMMSSysteme aim to streamline facility operations by aligning space management with maintenance execution within a unified platform.
