Facilities maintenance is the ongoing process of servicing, repairing, and replacing the capital assets, systems, and spaces associated with a building. It’s not glamorous, but it’s an essential component of every organization’s daily operations.

Effective facilities maintenance helps businesses minimize unscheduled downtime, extend the life and utility of their assets, minimize disruption to other operations, and maintain a safe, healthy work environment. And when issues do arise, streamlined work orders and facilities maintenance processes ensure you can resolve them quickly.

Regardless of the types of buildings your organization operates, there are critical assets that can cause costly problems. In a corporate office building, the HVAC can fail, making the work environment uncomfortable for every employee. Or you could have a water breach in an upper floor, which could damage everything below. In retail and hospitality, your infrastructure affects your customers as well, and your operations might depend on specialized equipment that you lease or own, such as ovens, freezers, boilers, or soda machines.

Maintaining specific assets can get incredibly complex. In healthcare, for example, assets like MRI machines are highly regulated. If they have defects, need repairs, or simply underperform, it can have major consequences for patients and staff. And in a single healthcare facility, there could be numerous machines with equally complicated maintenance requirements.

A single repair-or-replace decision can get expensive fast. And when those decisions are made based on incomplete data, they often represent wasteful expenses. Multiply those wasteful expenses across your entire lease portfolio, and you could be wasting tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
