Over the past decade, the facility management market worldwide – including Hungary – has gradually shifted onto a digital trajectory. In office buildings, shopping centers and residential properties, data-driven operation, real-time reporting and automation features that reduce administration and improve user experience have now become baseline expectations.
International trends show that the role of CAFM systems (Computer Aided Facility Management) has significantly increased. While earlier they were used mainly for error reporting and maintenance tracking, today they are tools of strategic operational management: they integrate data from IoT sensors, fire protection systems and energy management solutions, and they are increasingly connected to BI platforms as well.
New expectations are emerging in Hungary as well
In the Hungarian market, both tenants and property owners expect transparency and real-time information: how many tickets are open, how quickly issues are resolved, how much cost each process generates, and how the building’s performance is evolving. Facility management has become not only a supporting function but also a factor of value preservation and value creation.
In this environment, it is especially important that software does not merely react, but proactively supports decision-makers. This explains why new functions are appearing in CAFM systems, such as:
-
Power BI integration – for instant analysis of tickets, maintenance tasks and costs;
-
voice control and AI – to simplify on-site administration;
-
3D site mapping – for visual inspection and reporting;
-
digital access control – for cardless, secure access.
The Renewal of APFM-Systems AHD – Stable Foundations, New Dimensions
The AHD system of APFM-Systems has become one of the most widely used CAFM solutions in Budapest over the past 25 years, primarily due to its reliability and ease of use. While preserving its stability, a completely new era has now begun: in addition to the core functions, new digital extensions are being introduced that align with international trends and Hungarian user expectations.
The new AHD is not just a software update, but a digital platform capable of connecting every level of operations – from the maintenance technician to the property manager, from the tenant to the owner.
Where is the market heading?
Over the next few years, three areas may become decisive:
- Data-driven operations – decisions will rely less on intuition and increasingly on real-time reports.
- Well-being and user experience – facility management is not only cost control but also experience creation: a comfortable, healthy and inspiring work environment provides competitive advantage.
- AI and automation – artificial intelligence will not replace professionals, but it will help filter anomalies, prioritize tasks and reduce unnecessary administration.
The new AHD responds to these trends: while preserving its reliable foundations, it provides users with digital capabilities that enable truly efficient, transparent and user-friendly operations.
