Proving Facilities Management ROI with Real-Time Data
Facilities Management (FM) leaders are under increasing pressure to prove the value they deliver. Whether it’s justifying budgets, defending asset strategies, or reporting to clients and stakeholders, the same question always comes up:
“What’s the ROI of our FM efforts?”
In 2025, relying on manual reports and monthly spreadsheets just won’t cut it. FM leaders need live, actionable data — and a better way to communicate performance.
The Spreadsheet Trap
Spreadsheets are still widely used in FM reporting. But they come with major limitations:
- Manual and error-prone
- Static and quickly outdated
- Inconsistent across teams and contracts
- Hard to scale across multi-site estates
This often leads to delayed decisions, limited visibility, and reduced confidence from senior stakeholders.
What FM Leaders Really Need
To truly prove ROI, FM teams must adopt data tools that provide:
- Real-time visibility on performance
- Automated tracking against KPIs and SLAs
- Standardised reporting across all locations
- IoT insights into building conditions and asset usage
