What is Space Management?

Space management involves the management of a company’s physical space inventory. Senior facilities executives and department managers are typically tasked with controlling costs while keeping up optimal utilization of their office space layout layout to create an environment where employees can meet and exceed the mission of the organization. It’s the often-overlooked aspect of your company that touches all departments, from the C-suite to HR, finance and beyond. FM:Systems’ space utilization software enables our clients to more easily understand what space they have, where their people sit, and which departments occupy space in your facilities.

How can space management software improve efficiency?

Space management software is a technology solution that organizations can use to track and manage their real estate assets and all aspects of their physical space inventory. At a high level, the management of your space inventory includes tracking and maintaining your space allocation and occupancy information—identifying who sits where, understanding how much types of space your organization has, how it is categorized, how it’s being used, and projecting and forecasting how much real estate you will need in the future.

It enables secure access to space data in the cloud as well as analysis via on-the-fly reporting and data visualizations that can provide actionable insights into how to better manage your organizational space.
