Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM)

Mass is a leading supplier of CAFM (Computer Aided Facility Management) products. CAFM is the support of facilities management by information technology. The aim of CAFM is to supply information about your organisation’s facilities, enabling better facilities management.

Facilities management is defined by the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) as follows: 'the practice of coordinating a physical workplace with the people and work of an organisation'. Of course, facility management has been practised for as long as business organisations have existed. However, in recent years, a specialist field of expertise has been created through the development and codification of technology-driven processes, ultimately leading to highly efficient CAFM solutions- as offered by Mass.

IFMA Classification of Facilities Management

The IFMA (the professional association for facilities managers), established in 1980, classifies facilities management into various functional areas. In every listed area, we have seen businesses benefit from the implementation of Mass’ CAFM solutions.
