Finding the right balance between man and machine in facility management
With the advent of the pandemic in the past year, businesses worldwide have had to adapt and evolve continuously to succeed. Safety and hygiene have taken center stage. Additionally, budgets have decreased, making it more imperative than ever for facility heads to find new cost-effective ways to ensure business continuity. With the workforce becoming leaner by the day, how do you fulfill your premises’ growing facility management demands?
Although the pandemic has impacted businesses severely, it has also accelerated digitization. Automation is inevitable, and the sooner organizations adopt it as an integral part of facility management, the better. Yes, there might be a cost overlay when choosing automation; however, the cost reduction comfortably counters the money invested upfront in the long run. The pandemic has shown us that even with a fewer body count in the workforce, with automation, organizations aren’t just able to achieve their goals rather exceed them.
With the ever-changing goalposts of your business, you must ensure the involvement of automation in the workflow. Depending on the industry your organization operates in and the budget you have at your disposal, you must, in coordination with your FMS provider, find the right balance between man and machine.
People Cannot Be Replaced But Remember, Machines Are Here To Help!

- Involvement of all human components in the process so that they know what to expect in the future.
- Roll out of the pilot phase to make changes before implementing the final version.

As a facility head, you know how crucial compliance is to the success of your business. Whether it be ensuring that everything in and around the building complies with government regulations or taking care of security at the premise, automation is key to preventing disruptions.
Say you want to track the entry and exit of visitors in a gated community comprehensively. What do you do? It’s simple. You create a Visitor Management System (VMS). The VMS replaces the traditional security guard, saves cost, and prevents any potential roadblocks to the continuity of your business.
