Corporate Real Estate (CRE) thrive under personalized professional management. Unfortunately, inadequate resources are usually allocated to it since it’s mostly a non-core function of organizations. Interestingly, a non-core function of one organization is a core function of another. For instance, the core business of a Facilities Management (FM) company is to help organizations maximize their Return on Investment (ROI) by preserving and improving value of their assets. This necessitates collaborative approaches such as outsourcing.
At Depriss IFM we collaborate with corporates to achieve cost saving of up to 20% on their facilities OPEX. We manage this by streamlining facilities management operations, automating workflow processes, deploying skilled personnel, regularly auditing assets and complying with industry regulations and standards.

1. Shortage of data for analytics, reporting and decision making.

3. Difficulty in tracking maintenance costs and aligning to maintenance budget.
4. In adequate records of turn-around time (TAT) for work orders and requests.
