Facilities management margins are under increasing pressure — from competitive pricing, rising labour costs, and growing complexity across assets, contracts, and suppliers. Many organisations respond by investing in more technology, yet still struggle to see impact.

In this session, Stephanie focuses on how better information, not more tools, helps FM leaders protect margins by improving reliability, purchasing decisions, and client advice, without adding headcount.

You’ll take away:

- What “data” really means in FM and why it drives margin erosion
- How poor information increases admin, rework, and reactive maintenance
- Practical principles for improving data quality and system design so people work faster and with more confidence
- How to use existing asset, contract, and invoice information to make decisions more accurate and less manual

The session closes with a real-life hard services example showing how an organisation used better information to reduce complexity, support less experienced staff, and create commercial headroom — without replacing their core systems.
