What is CAFM (Computer-Aided Facility Management)?

CAFM stands for computer-aided facility management. It is software that helps facilities teams run buildings: tracking assets, scheduling maintenance, managing space allocation and keeping compliance records in one place.

CAFM overlaps with IWMS, but CAFM is operations-first while IWMS adds real estate, leases and capital projects. Many organisations now pair a lightweight workplace platform for employee-facing booking with CAFM for the back office.
