What is facility management software?
Facilities management software is a digital tool that helps your organization manage its physical assets, such as buildings and equipment. Different types of software streamline different daily tasks such as cleaning activities, inventory management, and resource allocation.
This kind of technology simplifies management jobs, including reporting, planning, communication, and resource allocation. That makes it easier for you to stay organized and make better informed business decisions.
In a nutshell, facility management software can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and keep processes running smoothly in your company.
What are the benefits of facility maintenance management software?
Some of the key benefits of these digital tools include:
Improved operational efficiency
Facilities management software streamlines business processes by automating tasks based on set criteria. This ensures timely upkeep, reducing downtime and preventing issues. As a result, your business can save time and money while boosting employee productivity by allowing them to focus on higher-priority tasks.
Cost savings
Facilities management software can help reduce costs for your business by providing you with detailed insights into its operations. This includes resource usage, energy consumption, and inventory levels. Easy access to this type of information allows you to identify areas for improvement such as waste management and resource allocation.
Enhanced communication and collaboration
Many of these digital tools can enhance communication and collaboration by providing centralized data and real-time updates. This allows everyone involved in your facility’s management to access to the same information, reducing misunderstandings, and improving coordination. That means facilities management software is particularly useful for large organizations with multiple teams.
Better reporting and analytics
Facilities management software's reporting and analytics provide valuable insights into performance. By analyzing metrics like resource usage, you can identify trends, assess practices, and make data-driven decisions to boost productivity and sustainability. This enables continuous improvement of your business operations.
What is Tork Vision Cleaning?
Tork Vision Cleaning is facilities management software designed to improve cleaning efficiency and support better hygiene in your business.

In fact, 97% of customers using our facilities management software said that Tork Vision Cleaning helped them improve hygiene standards in their facility. [1]

Tork Vision Cleaning provides numerous benefits — from cost savings to improving the efficiency of your facility. Let’s break them down:
Enables higher cleaning standards at your facility
Tork Vision Cleaning lets your cleaning staff know exactly when and where they are needed, so you can focus on other business processes. For example, our facilities management software helps you ensure that hand sanitizer and soap dispensers are stocked 99% of the time. [2] This means you can more effectively meet hygiene standards and provide a better experience for every restroom user in your facility.
High-quality cleaning is essential for any business, as it enables a positive impression of your facility and can enhance the overall satisfaction of your visitors and employees. A survey by The Cintas Corporation found that 68% of Americans would have their opinion of a business negatively impacted by restrooms with empty hand soap, toilet paper, and paper towel dispensers. [3] This comes to show how vital it is for your business to keep a clean and hygienic environment.
