Case Study: Yeovil College streamlines facilities management with Idox CAFM Explorer

Transforms its facilities management to an integrated digital platform with CAFM Explorer

Yeovil College, a tertiary college supporting around 5,000 students across 14 buildings, needed a more reliable way to manage facilities management across its campus. Its team was relying on spreadsheets, databases, and paper-based processes to track maintenance, repairs, compliance, and risk-related tasks, which was time consuming and prone to error. Idox provided CAFM Explorer to help the college replace its manual approach with a more efficient digital system.

With Idox’s CAFM Explorer, Yeovil College centralized maintenance documents, automated job generation, and enabled staff to log and track issues through an online, tablet-friendly platform. The college says the system improved reporting, helped it measure SLAs, reduced reliance on phone calls and handwritten tickets, and made it easier to manage work across the campus. Overall, Idox helped Yeovil College streamline FM operations, improve oversight, and save significant time.
