Save Money and Cut Costs with Facility Management Services: Here’s How

Costs are rising. It’s part of why companies are looking to stay profitable and ahead of the curve. Hiring a facility management solutions company is one way to do just that.

In today’s blog post, Omnia360 explains how your business can save on costs with comprehensive facility management services. 

FM Creates a PMP (preventative maintenance plan) 

Preventing costly repairs from happening in the first place is a critical part of facility management services. A preventative maintenance plan can shield you from costly out-of-the-blue repairs from coming up. 

An experienced FM manager can use a PMP as part of a way to track and manage your operation’s profitability. 

Proactive, emergency and preventative maintenance is also offered. Expert FM managers work closely with your team to create a preventative maintenance plan that accounts for any potential bottlenecks to your facility’s operability.  

Get a Big Picture Overview 

With a facility management service that has adopted virtual technologies and project management software, like computer-assisted facility management software, seeing the big picture, predicting maintenance bottlenecks and proactively working to prevent costly breaks in workflow are done easily. 

Boost Operational Efficiency

Consolidating your services into a single provider with high quality, cross-trained technicians, is a great way to fulfill multiple paid roles with a single paycheck. 

You won’t have to worry about hiring individual professionals for each work order. It’s all covered under a single payment. 

With proper FM tools and management, your business can expect a more streamlined efficiency on a variety of fronts: 

  • Work order requests
  • Employee sign-in/sign-out of work
  • Inventory control
  • Task management
  • Meeting reservations
  • Checking in guests or customers
  • Portering management

Preserve Your Investments  

Asset life cycle analysis can be performed to help extend your budget over time. You want your business or plant to have high-performing technical apparatuses that don’t break down and increase your overhead costs in the long run. 

Our integrated on-site management services ensure that your building’s infrastructure continues to operate with high efficiency and low running costs. 

Streamline Workplace Productivity 

It’s a well-known fact that in a post-pandemic economy, many workplaces are looking to enhance the safety and productivity of their workforce with strategic office layouts and improved work spaces. Comprehensive FM services do just that. 

Our FM managers work closely with you to strategically identify any work processes, products and inter-departmental functions that could be optimized for greater productivity. 

Lower Your Monthly Energy Costs

Think of your building’s energy efficiency as a long-term investment, one that is immediately prioritized by a facility management company. A poor HVAC system leads to inefficient energy usage, driving your energy bill through the roof.

Impaired operability can be rooted in any number of issues, like low refrigerant, a dulled or broken fan or worn out motor. Our expert, cross-trained mobile technicians can assess and resolve the issue quickly, saving you unnecessary expenses. 

Our facility management team implements cost-saving ideas and strategies to reduce maintenance costs and present a great ROI for your company. 

Give Your Employees a Better Work Environment 

A well-functioning facility gives employees and customers a nicer environment in which to work in. It can reduce distraction and promote employee productivity.  

Whether it’s a broken lightbulb, poor-functioning HVAC system or leaking faucet, our cross-trained specialists can repair it on time.

You also don’t want to have to shut down your operations and lose out on potential profit and productivity. Comprehensive preventative maintenance plans prevent this. 

Consolidating Work Orders and Contracts

Commercial buildings and large-scale facilities need janitorial cleaning services to mop floors, clean windows, remove waste and more. 

The cost adds up when you take into account any extra contracting expenses from electrical, plumbing or HVAC repairs. An FM service will cover it all in a single contract payment.

Manage Multiple Facilities Under a Single Payment 

Time is money. If you’re managing multiple locations, you’ll need a simplified way of tracking progress across each location. This is where comprehensive facility management services come in handy. 

Saving time with outsourcing all of your miscellaneous maintenance tasks frees up your time to allocate resources more efficiently to other portions of your business.

Integrated Facility Solutions for Eco-Friendly Buildings

A major trend in the facility management industry is using eco-friendly, “green” practices when maintaining buildings. This move follows on the heels of the national and worldwide motivation to reduce the carbon footprint. 

 

In today’s blog, Omnia360 explains how integrated facility solutions can work to promote eco-friendly buildings. 

 

What does Sustainable Facility Management (SFM) Mean? 

It’s a process that involves implementing operational or structural changes that incorporate efficiency, comfort, safety, and productivity to ensure more environmentally friendly practices at a facility. 

​​

Implementing sustainable facility management involves taking action on multiple fronts: 

  • Regular maintenance to your building’s infrastructure (HVAC or Plumbing)
  • Utilizing eco-friendly products, tools, and materials at work 
  • Promoting energy-efficient practices and behaviors, like recycling

Using energy-efficient equipment, alongside environmentally-friendly maintenance practices, is part of what makes a facility eco-friendly and promotes a lower carbon footprint. 

Regular maintenance, especially from cross-trained industry professionals like those at Omnia360, helps to mitigate against wasteful energy usage, whether it’s an ineffective plumbing or HVAC system that’s causing it.  

Monitor Eco-Friendly Improvements and Goals

What gets measured and tracked, gets improved. Setting up a plan to monitor performance is done in order to ensure your facility is minimizing its carbon footprint, while still operating productively. 

 

Here’s an example. You might account for all the paper printing at your office, then decide on which documents can be shifted into strictly digital assets, avoiding unnecessary paper printing. 

 

Utilize Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions

If your office needs cleaning, you can choose to have “green” cleaning products be used to get the job done. Many industrial cleaning products contain hazardous chemicals that, if not disposed of properly, end up causing environmental harm.

Sustainability Analytics 

A facility management team can identify and track progress on key metrics that pertain to the eco-friendly performance of your facility. What gets measured and tracked, gets improved upon. This includes your building’s carbon footprint. 

Leverage the Help of a Management System

A CMMS (Computer Maintenance Management System) can improve internal operations and lend to developing a more sustainable method of updating and maintaining your building. You can read our related article about the top facility management software products.

 

Preventative Maintenance 

Omnia360 offers a trained staff of handymen and trade professionals who provide 24/7 maintenance to ensure your facility is running optimally and is the most eco-friendly possible. 

 

Update Infrastructure 

Let’s say your HVAC system is outdated and is underperforming, this costs your company more money on monthly energy bills. As a green solution, you might decide to install cool or green roofing, or even solar energy panels, if your budget allows for it.

Hiring a professional all-in-one third-party contractor like Omnia360 allows you to get up-to-date infrastructure installed quickly and easily. 

Lighting systems

Use natural light as often as possible. Opening the windows more creates more natural light around the office, as well as sparingly using lights in adjacent, low-occupation rooms in your building. Installing LED lights can help save both on your monthly bill and lower your energy consumption. 

 

Heating and Cooling Systems

Your building’s HVAC is an important part of what makes it an eco-friendly facility. Having the right equipment and the right repairs being completed by a skilled facility management company will not only save you money but offer you a more eco-friendly building. 

 

Efficient Use of Office Space 

Restructuring how your office workspaces are laid out to reduce space leads to less energy consumption. This is even more so the case today, with the advent of people working remotely from coffee shops or homes rather than office cubicles.

Efficient Water Irrigation Systems 

Making good use of your building’s water management is also important when attempting to be eco-friendly. Water-efficient lawn care for your business can often mean growing vegetation that is native to your local climate. Even creating indoor spaces for moisture-absorbing plants can aid in promoting fresh, breathable air and lower humidity levels for employees and customers to enjoy.

Top 5 Facility Management Software (2022)

Organizations and companies are increasingly stretched to perform on a variety of avenues in today’s modern digital landscape. In 2022, to stay competitive, your team needs facility management software that can meet your company’s goals.  

In today’s post, Omnia360 explains what facilities management software is, as well as some of the best facility management software products for this year. 

What is a Facilities Management Software? 

There are two types. 

Computer-aided facility management (CAFM) software focuses on administrative duties, allowing facility managers to manage all activities in their facility (reporting, planning, asset management and reactive and preventative maintenance).

Computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) software offers the same features but adds additional support for maintenance functions (asset tracking, simplified preventative maintenance tasks, centralized planning, and scheduling). 

Why Purchase a Facilities Management Software? 

In a market inundated with lightning-fast information processing, your company needs actionable data-driven insights to help increase productivity, cash flow, and operational efficiency. 

Finding the best facilities management software is critical to your success in this regard. But you have to know what to look for.  

Features of a Good FM Software

  • Detailed Tracking to allow managers to spot trends and avoid roadblocks
  • Simplified Layout and Process – easy for your team to use
  • Transparency – all internal processes are clear and easy to track and measure
  • Clear Communication – sharing information between stakeholders is easy

There are even more great benefits to having good FM software which are hard to ignore.  

Work Order Management

Managing a growing list of work orders and executing projects in a timely manner is something that can be outsourced to a high-quality facilities management service. 

Predicting & Reporting Data on KPIs

Shifting priorities on the fly is needed in today’s fast-paced market. Facilities management software that is able to analyze internal logistical data, whether it’s sales, employee performance, retention, or project deadline completion, is a must-have. 

Preventive & Predictive Maintenance

Having software that is on the cloud means that managers will be able to perform inspections and create work orders on their mobile phones. They’ll also accurately be able to predict where operations might be lagging and what internal improvements can be made.
