Custom facility management software, for operators without a CAFM suite.
Custom facility management software is a tool for tasks, rounds, inspections and records, built on the workflow of an operator with a few buildings, instead of a CAFM suite for corporations. I built such a tool, Decus, and it has run at a property operator since September 2026.
Who it is for.
Operators with five to fifty buildings, caretaker services, portfolio holders with their own technical team, management companies with contractors. All have the same processes: create a task, assign, complete, record, inspect. And all use paper, WhatsApp and Excel for it today because the CAFM suite is too big and too expensive.
What Decus does.
Tasks per building with deadline, owner and status. Rounds with checklist, photo and timestamp. Inspections with recurrence, fire safety or lifts for example. Records as a report for owners and insurers. Access by PIN, no passwords, no tracking of staff. Runs on the caretaker's phone and at the management's desk.
Custom means: only what you need.
Every tool starts with the two most frequent processes. Others are added by usage. No modules nobody opens, no licence per user. Hosting in the EU, daily backup, the code belongs to you.

Questions
- What does a custom facility management app cost?
- Fixed price for the first version by processes, monthly operation. Both in writing before the start. No licence per user.
- CAFM system or custom tool?
- CAFM fits large portfolios with their own IT and interfaces to building technology. A custom tool fits operators who work with paper and chat today and need something running within weeks.
- Does it work offline?
- Rounds and photos are stored on the phone and transferred at the next connection.
- Can contractors access it?
- Yes, with their own access limited to their orders, with proof and approval by the management.
