Self-employed Corporate Real Estate Consultant at Widmann Consulting
I tailor my consulting services to individual customer requirements through innovative approaches, with the aim of achieving sustainable optimization potential.
Consulting based on ready-made concepts and solutions, or a focus on short-term one-off effects, is not consistent with my approach to responsible and sustainable consulting.
An analysis of the current situation forms the basis for my consulting approach and specific recommendations for action. Together with you, I develop and define clear goals for the successful implementation of suitable measures for your individual situation. Ongoing reviews ensure that goals are achieved transparently and sustainably. The customer benefit is always at the center of my work.

About the technology
What CAFM covers
CAFM means computer-aided facility management. It connects buildings, assets, spaces, maintenance work and service information in one operational system. Companies use it to plan inspections, manage work orders, track occupancy and give teams reliable facility data.
Core use cases
CAFM supports property portfolios, corporate campuses, hospitals, universities, industrial sites and public facilities. Typical workflows include:
- Asset registers for equipment, rooms and building components
- Preventive maintenance, inspections and reactive work orders
- Space planning, moves, occupancy and lease-related information
- Service requests, contractor coordination and operational reporting
Ecosystem and tooling
CAFM connects with building information models, computer-aided design files, building management systems, enterprise resource planning and identity services. Common environments include Planon, Archibus and IWMS solutions, alongside mobile applications, geographic data and integration middleware. Strong specialists understand both the software configuration and the facility processes behind it.
When companies need specialists
External expertise is useful when a company replaces spreadsheets, consolidates facility data or rolls out one CAFM standard across several sites. It is also valuable during migrations, integrations, module launches and data clean-up. In Germany, projects often involve stakeholders across offices, plants and public buildings, so clear documentation and practical collaboration matter.
Project deliverables
A CAFM engagement may produce a configured application, a structured asset database or a repeatable maintenance process. Specialists can define roles, approval paths, service catalogues, dashboards and mobile workflows. They may also prepare migration rules, interface specifications, user guidance and acceptance tests for operations teams.
What strong professionals bring
The best professionals combine facility management knowledge with disciplined system work. They ask how teams actually request services, inspect assets and record completion before changing the configuration. Look for experience with data models, permissions, integrations, testing and adoption. Remote work is effective for analysis and configuration; site visits can be important for validating assets, spaces and local processes.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about CAFM, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
CAFM is used to manage facilities, buildings, spaces, assets and maintenance activities in a shared system. It helps teams plan preventive work, handle service requests, document inspections and report on operational performance.
CAFM focuses strongly on facility operations, work orders, assets and space-related processes. IWMS usually covers a broader real estate scope, while a building management system controls technical building equipment; companies often integrate these systems rather than treat them as direct substitutes.
A strong CAFM professional often brings facility management process knowledge, data migration, CAD or BIM understanding and integration experience. Skills with ERP interfaces, reporting, mobile workflows and change management are also useful when the system affects many operational teams.
Before configuring CAFM, the company should define its sites, assets, maintenance processes, roles, service categories and reporting needs. Clear ownership of master data and agreed acceptance criteria prevent the system from reproducing inconsistent or unused processes.
The right CAFM experience depends on the scope, data quality and number of connected systems, not on a fixed seniority label. A focused workflow change may need a configuration specialist, while a migration or multi-site rollout calls for someone who can lead discovery, integration, testing and adoption.
CAFM analysis, configuration, documentation and user training can often be handled remotely with German or English-speaking teams. On-site work remains useful for surveying spaces, checking asset records and validating how maintenance staff use the system in real facilities.
Ask a CAFM specialist to explain a comparable rollout from process discovery through testing and handover. Review how they handle asset data, permissions, integrations, exceptions and user feedback, rather than judging quality by configuration speed alone.
A CAFM professional may have worked with platforms such as Planon or Archibus, as well as broader IWMS products with facility management modules. The abbreviation is commonly expanded as computer-aided facility management, so searching for both terms can reveal relevant project experience.
