Facilities Management Evolved: Embracing Technology and Efficiency

December 5, 2024

In property management, the shift towards technology-driven facilities management (FM) is vital. FM has evolved from basic maintenance to incorporating planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and energy efficiency, crucial for landlords of commercial and residential properties.

Planned Preventitive Maintenance leverages data to foresee issues before they become costly, saving time and resources while ensuring tenant satisfaction. Energy efficiency, mandated by stringent European regulations, reduces costs and carbon footprints. Essential technologies now include smart meters, Solar PV, and EV charger installations.

Frontline Energy exemplifies these innovations, showcasing how modern FM practices enhance property value and sustainability. Their expertise in integrating advanced technology into FM highlights how to address common challenges in property management while aligning with industry trends.

Managing large retail spaces like Applegreen or residential complexes such as Custom House Square apartments requires an understanding of these modern FM practices. PPM and energy efficiency not only prolong the life of essential systems but also ensure a dependable environment for tenants, whether in retail hubs or nursing homes.

‘’Team Frontline manages our 24-hour service desk and oversees all our facilities management within the company for service calls, ensuring there’s no downtime for our customers.

They also handle our planned preventative maintenance (PPM) to ensure we’re always able to trade. It’s an absolute no-brainer—the support they provide ensures that downtime is avoided, and the PPM ensures equipment is working effectively, so customers get exactly what they come for.

Having a single point of contact at the service desk and managing the contract has been a great support for me as a site director. It ensures everything runs smoothly, and we work together to support each other.’’ - Matt Farrell, Site Director, Applegreen
