CAFM Software

CAFM software centralizes space planning, occupancy, moves, leases, and facility operations in one platform.

Definition

CAFM (Computer-Aided Facility Management) software combines space and occupancy management, move coordination, lease administration, and facility operations. It overlaps with CMMS where maintenance meets space.

What CAFM covers

Typical CAFM modules:

  • Space planning and occupancy tracking
  • Move, add, change (MAC) coordination
  • Lease and real estate administration
  • Reservations for rooms and shared resources
  • Facility maintenance (overlaps with CMMS)
  • Sustainability and energy reporting

CAFM vs CMMS vs EAM

CMMS focuses on maintenance operations. EAM extends to the full asset lifecycle. CAFM adds the space and workplace dimension — who occupies which square footage, how it is used, and what it costs. Many organizations run CAFM and CMMS as complementary systems.

How FacilityLane fits

FacilityLane's CAFM product layers space, lease, and occupancy management on top of the shared CMMS/EAM asset hierarchy — so maintenance work, space utilization, and lease obligations stay connected.

FAQ

Common questions about CAFM Software.

No. IWMS is a broader category that unifies CAFM, CMMS, EAM, and sometimes capital projects into one platform. CAFM focuses on space, workplace, and facility operations.
