Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) is an all-encompassing approach to managing and maintaining an organization’s physical assets, ensuring efficient operations and enhanced workplace experiences. It combines various services such as building maintenance, security, energy management, cleaning, and more, all under a single framework.
The scope for IFM is poised for significant growth, driven by the increasing demand for operational efficiency, sustainability, and cost optimization across industries. As businesses focus on core operations, outsourcing facility management has become a strategic choice.
In India, companies like UDS (Updater Services Limited) are major players in the IFM space, offering tailored solutions across sectors such as IT, manufacturing, healthcare, and retail. With a growing real estate market and technological advancements, the IFM industry in India is set to expand further.
