The use of geoinformation systems (GIS) in combination with facility management provides a major benefit. Having the geographical orientation as a focus, the GIS solution targets the site and the respective objects from an outward perspective. In return, the facility management system delivers data from inside the building and the technical installations and represents the related business processes. Cost-effective operation of buildings and technical facilities as well as increasing and consolidating both return on and value of those buildings and facilities is a decisive benefit.   GISDATA offers solutions designed for asset, facilities and infrastructure management. The specialized solutions additionally offer large sites management, space management, furniture and equipment inventory, building operations/automation, maintenance management, strategic planning, portfolio management, safety monitoring, telecommunications and cabling.     Facility/Property/Asset Management   GIS is a powerful planning tool for business continuity and contingencies. GIS allows companies to visualize and analyze their assets including acquisition, tracking, maintenance, and management of real property, capital equipment and supply chain. It helps businesses perform better facility/property/asset management by answering questions like:  Where are company’s assets located? How can be best modelled ‘what if’ scenarios? How can be planed routes for the facilities? How vulnerable are facilities to response times? Where are the distributors and suppliers? How can be maximized revenue potentials? What risk/security plans are needed? GIS technology enables the evaluation and analysis of the key factors when siting buildings, industries, branches, manufacturing, stores, restaurants, warehouses, and corporate offices:   Analysis of real estate environment / services installation structure Proximity to suitable customers Location of potential competitors Visualisation and analysis of socio demografical conditions Crime rates Transportation infrastructure / connections Regional labor pool characteristics Environmental risk factors (i.e., flood plains, toxic sites, and others) Visual representation of vacancy and maintenance conditions    Edited, compressed and analysed data from GIS and Facility Management area are the basis for strategical decisions. Consistent flow of data and information as well as interdisciplinary process anlaysis is the precondition for RE-Portfolio Management. Benefits of using such a system are visible in: Interdisciplinarily working, integrated process editing, integrated process analysis Integrated data management, avoiding of redundancy and inconsistency Creation of a data and process value creation chain for planning safety, investment protection and value conservation Creation of thematic maps for analysis and control of object costs, rental units, condition, infrastructure, etc. Potentials for cost reduction or value enhancement     GISDATA specialized solutions for facility management include wide range of functionalities:   Area management Layout analysis, map creation Space occupation planning and reporting Relocations follow-up and reports Area calculation premises availability and  occupation  planning Networks management Computer, telecommunications, electricity Underground or aerial utilities Distribution networks Inventory and equipment management Facility management (locations, buildings, floors) Building Key Performance Indicators (K.P.I.‘s) /object features Localization and inventory of furniture and equipment Project management and follow-up (construction, demolition, renovation, maintenance, etc.) Financial and administrative management Security and maintenance Security control Access to facilities control Work planning Management and follow-up of interventions Management and follow-up of maintenance contracts      Visualization and management of the ownership, development and acquisition of commercial and residential real estate properties   Real estate companies count on GIS to find not just any site but the best site. They analyze data around locations - demographics, aerial photographs, traffic counts, shopping centers, merchandise potential data, and competitors - to find the best location for properties. They generate maps of locations to show potential buyers where locations exist relative to other locations or attractions and to show off the “ideal” location of particular sites.
