Calculating CAFM cost savings — from theory to measurable business case
Demonstrating the ROI of CAFM software requires moving beyond vendor promises to hard calculation. This analysis provides a framework for quantifying cost savings in maintenance, space utilisation and operational efficiency.
FM Radar's 4 takeaways:
- Key savings areas: reduced maintenance costs, optimised space utilisation, fewer manual processes
- ROI calculation should include both direct savings and productivity gains
- Benchmarking against pre-CAFM baseline data is essential for credible business cases
- Organisations report 10-25% efficiency gains within the first two years of implementation
