What is CAFM Software?

CAFM (Computer-Aided Facilities Management) software is a computer aided facilities management system for managing buildings, assets, maintenance activities and compliance across one site or many. Field Ascend puts traditional CAFM system capabilities (asset register, PPM, compliance dates) in the same product as the field service side (scheduling, engineer app, invoicing), so it works as field service and CAFM software in one platform.

Whether you're an in-house facilities team managing corporate buildings, a facilities management company handling client sites, or a maintenance contractor servicing equipment across multiple locations, Field Ascend's CAFM software UK and FM software UK solution adapts to the way you work.

New to the acronym? What is a CAFM system explains the meaning, who uses one and how it differs from a CMMS.

CAFM Software Questions

Is there a free CAFM software download?

Field Ascend is cloud-based, so there is nothing to download or install on a server. The engineer app is a free download from the App Store and Google Play. The office system runs in the browser and is free for 30 days on the trial, then £10 per user per month with a 3-user minimum.

Can I see a CAFM software demo before signing up?

Yes. Book a demo and we will walk through asset registers, PPM scheduling and compliance tracking on a live account. You can also start the 30-day trial and load a handful of your own sites and assets, which for most contractors is the quicker way to judge fit.

What is the difference between CAFM software and field service management software?

CAFM software manages buildings and the assets inside them: registers, planned maintenance, compliance dates, space. Field service management software manages the people and jobs that do the work: scheduling, dispatch, mobile job sheets, timesheets, invoicing. Field Ascend covers both in one system, so a PPM visit generated from the asset register is scheduled, completed on the engineer app and invoiced without re-keying.
