Ep. 21: Outside-IN Podcast: Simplifying Partnership with IFM

Vendor management can be an uphill battle for any operation. Each contract represents a different service, with new processes and payment plans to manage while successfully operating a facility. The administrative burden can escalate quickly, dividing managers' time between leading their teams effectively and handling these essential support services. 

 

That's where Integrated Facilities Management comes in, consolidating numerous contracts into one single partnership. On Outside-IN, we speak with IST Operations Manager James Love about this service in action, how personalized technology plans reveal new cost-savings, and the return of a clear vision for clients.
