Why can't we just keep using the CAFM software we've always had?
On the market right now, there are hundreds of different FM software options, and many of them make big promises about making FM procedures easier and putting an end to the confusion. It's hard to decide between them, and it's easy to make the wrong choice based on money or false claims of extra features.
Also, too many FMs have already had to deal with CAFM's downsides, which include complicated, expensive systems that take months to set up and cost tens of thousands of pounds to install. They could have seen projects that cost a lot of money but didn't work. They could have seen an FM team lose money and power because of a bad project.
Given all of this, it might seem easier to keep things as they are than to deal with the cost and hassle of a failed installation.
It's too tough.
It could take months to set up and train people on systems that are expensive and have a lot of technology. Even though they say they make working with IoT connectivity and AI applications easier, they may make delivery times longer and make you less flexible.
Inflexible
When it comes to big-ticket items, you may need more flexibility to solve business problems. A big, international software company might not want to change how their systems work just to please one customer.
No Assistance
Smaller, more DIY solutions, on the other hand, may only offer a software program and a monthly subscription and not much else in the way of help.
Simple to Use
Getting CAFM software used internally could be hard because of how hard it is to use. Many products care more about how they look and work than how they make the user feel (user experience). Like Amazon, Facebook, and LinkedIn, a CAFM interface shouldn't need a lot of training.
It's good news!!
But CAFM systems are growing better. To make their systems easier to learn and use, companies are putting out new systems like CloudApper Facilities. User interfaces and mobile technologies are the main focus of these systems.
They help businesses get involved in their whole supply chain and business operations so they can get the best and most accurate data for performance optimization.
