Many companies struggle to optimize facilities management because their data is fragmented across locations and systems. This often leads to slow decisions, too many vendors, and lost margins.
This podcast, based on GEP’s bulletin Unified Facilities Management: How Procurement Can Drive Savings and Value in Decentralized Enterprises, highlights how procurement can discover hidden overspend and take the lead in driving efficiency. It focuses on what organizations must do now to move past fragmented operations and capture missed savings opportunities.
Instead of waiting for full visibility, procurement teams may use the information they already have, get suppliers involved early, and gradually establish a clearer view of how things work. This method enables faster execution, stronger engagement with suppliers, and measurable financial results, all while maintaining consistency across sites.
The conversation also shows how well-organized transition phases and outcome-based business models can help everyone work together and improve efficiency. Organizations can reduce costs while enhancing the quality and consistency of their services by standardizing processes and consolidating small purchases. Also, using a single model sets the stage for more advanced features such as predictive maintenance and data-driven planning.
