In recent years, a wave of new technologies has entered our daily lives, from AI to IoT, revolutionizing the way we work and interact. This shift is now reaching the field of Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM), where these innovations are transforming how facilities are managed.
Here’s a glimpse at the innovations that will shape the industry in 2025:
Predictive analytics with AI: a game-changer
AI is taking CAFM systems to the next level. Predictive analytics can now foresee supply levels, maintenance needs and equipment failures before they even happen. This allows facility managers to take action before issues disrupt operations, minimizing downtime and costly repairs. The result? Better planning and reduced operational costs. A win-win situation!
Mobile apps: manage your building from anywhere
The rise of mobile appls is making CAFM more accessible than ever. The reason: you can manage your building from anywhere, directly from your smartphone. This mobility leads to faster decision-making and a more agile approach to managing facilities. No more waiting for reports; everything is in the palm of your hand.
IoT tools for real-time monitoring

The Internet of Things (IoT) is making facilities smarter than ever. Tools like TaqtOne provide real-time monitoring of all field operations such as cleaning and maintenance while allowing occupants to actively participate in the facility's improvement, whether in office open spaces, factories or airport restrooms.
The best part: this data is immediately sent to Facility Managers. The continuous data collection allows facility managers to act immediately in case of incidents (low supplies, a need for cleaning, or maintenance), optimize their team’s performance (assigning tasks at the right place and the right time) and ensure their building is running efficiently at all times with minimal effort.
Blockchain for security and transparency
In the next few years, blockchain could become a cornerstone of CAFM. Blockchain acts as a secure way to store data and digital records, and enables tracking and transparency of data across the supply chain. Since it’s cloud-based, the data isn’t stored on your company’s private server or anyone else’s: this means that there’s a permanent record of activities that cannot be altered, which improves reliability.
CAFM: the road ahead
The future of CAFM is proactive, intelligent, and data-driven. These technologies will not only streamline operations but also empower facility managers to make smarter, faster decisions. The result? More efficient buildings, reduced costs, and improved outcomes for everyone involved.
