SFG20 Announces Digital Partner Programme

SFG20 Announces Digital Partner Programme
03 September 2024 | Updated 04 September 2024
 

SFG20’s new software solution Facilities-iQ can now be integrated with existing CAFM systems, to ensure users are working to the latest version of the SFG20 standard.

Through the Digital Partner Programme, SFG20 maintenance schedules can be accessed through CAFM, CMMS and IWMS systems, ensuring compliance with the scheme. This allows existing building and asset records to be linked to SFG20’s Pre-Planned Maintenance (PPM) programmes directly. The API ensures that all updates to SFG20 maintenance schedules are automatic, meaning clients will always be compliant.

Founding partners of the scheme include Opuz, Facilio, Tabs FM and BPD Zenith.

During the BESA Annual Conference in April 2024, a virtual poll from SFG20 revealed that almost half of FM professionals struggle with system integration, leading to out-of-date data and compliance challenges. This integration opportunity looks to address these pain points.

Speaking about the partnership, Prabhu Ramachandran, CEO of Facilio said: “We're excited to join forces with SFG20 to deliver a powerful solution that helps FM businesses stay compliant, audit-ready, and ahead of the curve. By integrating SFG20's comprehensive maintenance standards into our Connected CaFM platform, we're empowering our customers to streamline operations, reduce risks, and achieve operational excellence. For Integrated Facility management (IFM) service providers, an SFG20-integrated software solution becomes a key differentiator to win large enterprise clients and become the go-to-choice for tech-led IFM services.”
