The Efficiency Myth in Facilities Management

The Efficiency Myth in Facilities Management

It usually begins with a demo. A confident sales rep shows off a shiny CAFM or CRM system. The dashboards look impressive, the presentation is convincing, and you are assured that this will change the way you work. But a few months later, the picture is very different. What seemed like a step forward turns into extra training, more admin, and higher costs. Instead of making life easier, the platform slows you down.

 

At Arez, we have taken a different approach. Efficiency should not be an empty slogan. It should be visible in saved hours, fewer mistakes, and stronger cash flow. That is why Arez is designed to deliver results in the field, not just in the sales pitch — and it does so at almost half the cost of the systems most firms are still paying for.

 

Results You Can See

 

True efficiency is not about a glossy report. it is about what happens on the ground. With Arez, firms have seen scheduling admin reduced by about a quarter, invoices issued several days sooner, and compliance errors cut by around a third. The majority of users report noticeable gains within their first three months. These are not vague claims; they are outcomes that operators can measure in day-to-day business.

 

The difference lies in the way Arez connects the moving parts. Jobs are matched to skills and availability in seconds, compliance checks are monitored in real-time, and completed workflows are sent directly into finance, allowing invoices to be sent the same day. Every shift is verified with geo-tagged proof of presence, removing disputes and ensuring that every hour is accounted for. It is a joined-up system that quietly removes the friction where time and money are usually lost.

 

Why Pay More for Less?

 

The irony is that many firms are still paying double for systems that overcomplicate everything while delivering very little. Arez flips that model on its head: simpler to use, more effective in practice, and far more cost-efficient. Take a mid-sized contractor billing £2 million annually. Before Arez, invoices were issued ten days after completion, leaving more than £50,000 tied up in unpaid work. With Arez, invoicing occurs on the same day, accelerating cash flow and strengthening margins. That one improvement alone pays for the system many times over.

 

Running efficiency on outdated systems is like racing with the handbrake on. You still move forward, but it costs more fuel, causes more stress, and results in more lost ground. With Arez, efficiency is no longer a promise; it is something you can measure. Hours are saved, errors are prevented, margins are protected, and money reaches the bank sooner.
