Reliable, Real-time Facilities Data – all in One Location
The Space Management Module of FM:Interact is a comprehensive system for centralizing and storing real-time information about the buildings and space you manage along with the groups and people that occupy them. Instead of walking the hallways and floors to double check your data or see where people sit, you can work with departmental liaisons to keep your space and occupancy data accurate and up-to-date. The CAD and BIM integration features take spatial information directly from drawings or BIM models so you always have real-time data. And because FM:Interact easily integrates with other systems already in use in your organization, such as your HR database, occupancy information is quickly updated too. This dramatically reduces the efforts needed to manually pull it from spreadsheets while greatly increasing data accuracy. The FM:Interact floor plan viewer makes it easy to view and share this information in a Web-browser, enabling you to get an overall look into your entire portfolio and giving access to critical facilities data enterprise-wide. So the next time your executive team needs space and occupancy reports for a meeting in ten minutes – you have all the tools you need right in front of you to get it to them.
Information typically tracked with the Space Management Module includes:
- Gross, rentable, usable, and assignable areas by space, floor, building and site
- Space types
- Space standards
- Building codes
- Building addresses
- Employee contact and location information
Having access to real-time facts and figures about your facilities enables you to compare floors and buildings by key metrics, find space inefficiencies and confidently make critical portfolio decisions. Centralizing the information makes it easy to maintain with quick access for everyone that needs it.
Manage Space Allocation and Chargebacks
Using your detailed space inventory, you can allocate spaces to various departments to manage space across the various departments in your organization. Because many groups split spaces and share common areas such as conference rooms and hallways, calculating accurate chargebacks used to be time-consuming and error prone. With FM:Interact, you can split individual spaces across multiple groups to get a more detailed view of space use. Also, the system automatically prorates common areas, like conference rooms and secondary circulation, for chargebacks, eliminating the manual calculation of rentable space which greatly improves report accuracy and reduces the burden of preparing chargeback reports. .
Track all Employees and Accurately Assign Workspace
Know where everyone is in an instant! Now you can track important contact and location information for all employees and contractors such as email addresses, phone and room numbers with the occupancy management capabilities of the Space Management Module. The robust search capabilities make this an ideal employee look-up system. Workers may also be directly linked to the specific space they inhabit, enabling accurate occupancy reporting. And because it’s so important to assign the appropriate amount of work space based on job level, you can categorize space based on job codes. This helps improve forecasting and ensures everyone has the room they need to perform their appropriate job function.
Manage Your Portfolio Enterprise-wide
Because the Space Management Module centralizes all space and occupancy information, it’s easy to view, maintain and manage your portfolio across multiple spaces, buildings and locations – no matter where you are. You can also grant access to appropriately share information with the executives, facilities professionals and departmental liaisons that need it. Gaining more visibility into your space portfolio decreases costs, improves customer service and increases workplace productivity for your entire organization.
