Better Data. Smarter Decisions.

Data-Driven, Building-Centric Management: From Strategy to Operations

Organisations are re-thinking how they manage their buildings. Disconnected systems, inconsistent data, and reactive decision-making are no longer viable in environments demanding financial discipline, compliance and sustainability.
That’s where SPM Assets and Planon come in.
 
The combined Integrated Building Lifecycle Management (IBLM) solution gives asset-intensive organisations a single, connected way to manage every phase of the building lifecycle - starting with reliable component-level data. This unites planning, operations, and reporting into one building-centred ecosystem that complements and integrates with your current systems, including any Enterprise Resource Plan’s (ERP).

Why Asset-Intensive Organisations are Changing

 
Most building portfolios are managed through compromise: spreadsheets that don’t scale, systems and ERPs that aren’t built for property data, and teams that work in silos. Critical information about condition, risk, and cost sits in different systems - making it impossible to connect long-term strategy with day-to-day delivery.

The result:

  • Limited visibility of asset health and risk.
  • Fragmented processes between planning and operations.
  • Inefficient budgeting and reactive work.
  • Compliance reporting that drains time and confidence.
  • Duplication of data and missed opportunities for optimisation.

 

SPM Assets and Planon’s combined IBLM solution solves this by providing one source of trusted data - allowing every stakeholder to make decisions from the same foundation.

Data Confidence Starts with the Asset Register

 
Every reliable decision begins with strong, accurate data.

That’s why IBLM begins with creating a component-level asset register a detailed digital inventory that identifies, describes, and assesses every element of your buildings, from critical plant to internal finishes and external fabric.
 
This comprehensive asset register goes far beyond a traditional CMMS maintenance list.

It captures each unique component’s condition, age, replacement cost, and remaining life, producing a data set that reflects the true state of the built environment.

 

This foundation becomes the heart of the IBLM model:

  • A single, standardised data structure across sites and asset types.
  • A living source of truth that drives lifecycle forecasting and risk profiling.
  • The baseline for continuous improvement and ERP integration.

When organisations trust their data, they can plan long-term with confidence, prioritise investments accurately, and demonstrate accountability to stakeholders.

Better data builds better portfolios.

Breaking Down the Silos between Assets and Facilities

For decades, asset and facility managers have operated in separate worlds:

  • Asset managers focusing on long-term renewal and capital planning.
  • Facility managers focusing on maintenance and service delivery.

Each has insight; neither sees the full picture.

SPM Assets and Planon’s combined IBLM solution breaks these silos:

  • Asset managers understand how every maintenance action affects lifecycle cost. Facility managers see future renewal schedules and funding priorities.
  • Finance teams gain real-time, auditable reporting across the whole lifecycle.
  • Everyone works in the same environment, from the same trusted data.
That’s how organisations move from reactive fixes to proactive, portfolio-wide performance.

Extending the Value of Your Systems and ERPs

 

Most organisations already run robust systems and ERPs - for finance, procurement, and HR - yet those systems manage only financial assets, not the physical complexity of buildings.
 
SPM Assets and Planon’s combined IBLM solution supports your systems and ERPs with a building-centric layer that captures the condition and performance of every component and feeds that intelligence directly into financial and capital systems.
 
With standard integrations to platforms such as SAP, TechnologyOne, and Oracle, SPM Planon allows:
 

Seamless flow of budgets, valuations, and project data

 

Traceability between physical assets and financial accounts

Integration of lifecycle forecasts into enterprise planning and depreciation models
