An interface to lease management for energy billing per rental unit is also available. Meter value overruns or underruns are automatically sent to the Service Line.

The module enables the management of the vehicle fleet. Inspections, MOT (TÜV) dates, as well as reservations and logbooks. Forms for processing damage are also available.

Via this module, a janitor service can be requested over the intranet. Browser and smart phone interfaces are available. In addition to technical processing, the system also supports commercial processing up to invoicing and the management of customer accounts.

The module can manage locking plans and display them graphically. Key issuance, return, and general administration (key cabinet, storage) can be carried out via the system. An interface to common key manufacturer programs enables the transfer of locking data.

Plannable activities are managed via the FaMe M+I program. The program includes VDMA activity texts by default. These can be supplemented individually. Maintenance and inspection plans can be generated with the program. Maintenance, systems, or units can be assigned via an interface to asset management. Due maintenance orders are reported automatically.

Both low-current and heavy-current cabling can be managed with the module. Measured values, such as the attenuation resistance, can be assigned to the cables. The program manages cable routes and their occupancy in relation to fire protection regulations. In the area of IT cabling, floor box assignments or patch panels can be managed. A CAD system or the Viewer can optionally be used for visualization. Patch panels and assignments are displayed graphically in the masks.

Information about parks or paved areas, paths and roads, and installations such as wastewater collection tanks are managed via this module. The objects can optionally be assigned to the building or the property.

Tenders can be generated via the AVA module. The tenders can refer to the component catalog of building technology, specially created catalogs, or freely entered texts. Optionally, service texts from GAEB can also be imported via an XML interface. The module has an e-commerce interface that enables direct processing of offers via the internet. Offer analysis functions are also available.

FaMe Relocation Management is one of the core functions. Exact operational planning of relocation processes is possible through the use of time series. Optionally, relocation requests can be started by customers via the self-service function. Individual orders for the move are automatically forwarded to internal or external departments via the interface to the Service Line and formulated as a concrete work order.

In addition to the possibility of creating fire and evacuation plans, the module includes checklists for checking buildings with regard to various security aspects such as fire protection, burglary, or property damage. Furthermore, there is the possibility of managing emergency plans, for which the execution is acknowledged and documented.

The Self Service module can be integrated into the customer's intranet/internet presence. Untrained users can request services from the facility management department via the internet using the Self Service module. From a relocation request to entering a fault report or booking a meeting room, all important functions are included in the module. An evaluation (SLA Service Level Agreement) and an overview function of the status of the commissioned services are also part of the program.

Warranty management can monitor the acceptance of services and products. Defects that occur during the warranty period can be registered via the module. The processing of these defects can also be monitored. An interface to the Service Line module enables the commissioning of defect rectification.

Parameters regarding disposal are managed via the module. Garbage, recycling, and the management of hazardous substances. The module provides characteristics for an eco-audit.

FaMe supports two room book functions. An execution room book, in which, based on a room type catalog, the requirements for the room in terms of equipment and technology are compared, checked, and recorded. The execution room book is the basis of the operator room book. Changes in the room configuration that occur during use are documented in the operator room book. In the event of reactivation or conversion measures, the operator room book is the basis for the new execution room book.

The Viewer displays floor plans or other representations created via a CAD system. Database queries are visualized graphically. Simple editing functions, such as moving a desk (relocation), can also be carried out in the Viewer.

Client management enables the separate administration of customer data. Master data can be kept centrally. Client management is useful for service providers who look after several customers in one database. Each client can be managed separately.
