VFA Capital Planning SoftwareUNIFIED PLATFORM FOR BETTER FACILITIES MANAGEMENTReal estate is often the second largest expenseon the income statement for companies— typicallyright behind labor.Managing all the informationrelated to those facilities andtheir related systems can bean ongoing challenge.If it’s even available, current dataabout building value, condition,age and function, as well asmaintenance and renewal needs,is often scattered across multiplelocations and systems, creatingisolated islands of information.As a result, facilities professionals often have limited insightinto operational issues that can significantly impact planning.Facility directors may be uncertain about how recently-completedprojects impact their annual funding requirements.“We wanted to put adefined strategy behindevery decision we makegoing forward.
