1. Reduce or control maintenance costs
In today's competitive global environment, companies must constantly strive to reduce costs. For non-core activities, such as facilities maintenance, outsourcing can prove cost effective and provide a competitive advantage. Three reasons are generally attributable to realizing cost savings through outsourcing:
A) Cost Structure - lower cost structure an outside provider like GCM provides is created by serving multiple customers for the same need, resulting in better service at a lower cost.
B) Specialization - GCM focuses on a single core activity, facility maintenance. Applying those skills across multiple diverse clients, creates an ever growing knowledge base of tactics that can be applied to drive down costs.
C) Research and Development - GCM is focused on a single core competency, facilities maintenance. By partnering with GCM to provide your facility maintenance, your company can leverage GCM's significant investment in improved technology and field-specific advancements to remain at the cutting edge, without sacrificing your own internal resources. These improvements drive down costs for your company without significant investment or risk.
2. Improve company focus
Outsourcing lets your company focus on its core business. By having GCM provide your company with our expert operational facility maintenance, your company is freed from devoting energy to areas that are not in its expertise. Your company can focus all its resources on meeting your customers needs.
3. Gain access to GCM capabilities
GCM makes extensive investments in technology, methodologies, and people. We gain expertise by working with many clients facing similar challenges in this ever changing volatile financial climate. This combination of specialization and expertise gives us a competitive advantage and helps you avoid the cost of chasing technology and training and scheduling employees on their off time. GCM employs fully trained and state certified technicians who are always on-call to provide your company with around the clock service.
4. Free your internal resources for other purposes
Every company has limits on the resources available to it. Outsourcing permits an organization to redirect its resources, most often people resources, from non-core activities toward activities that serve the customer. The company can redirect these people, or at least the staff slots they represent, onto greater value-adding activities. People whose energies are currently focused internally can now be focused externally on the customer.
5. Resources not available internally
Companies outsource because they do not have access to the required resources within the company. Outsourcing is a viable alternative to building the needed capability from the ground or investing to expand a current capability.
6. Gain better management and control
By serving many clients in several different markets, GCM brings a depth of knowledge and experience which is difficult for companies to duplicate. Knowledge of industry best-practices, cost-saving and capital-preserving techniques, as well as how best to implement them, allow GCM to deliver results which are typically beyond what a company might be able to achieve alone. In addition, your company can set aggressive goals, knowing they have an expert partner to implement and achieve them.
7. Cost effectiveness
GCM services are the most cost effective way to provide your company with facility maintenance. Many articles have recently been published by a host of resources explaining the cost benefits of outsourcing your facility maintenance needs to an outside company. GCM is a local metropolitan Atlanta company and not a large national or multi-state company. Our costs are lower to operate because our overhead is lower and we pass those savings on to our customers. Nationally based facility maintenance providers usually have logistical problems with getting local technicians dispatched to your company in a timely fashion. These larger providers have huge overheads and quality control problems. GCM is hands on, in touch and local. GCM delivers its services for a fixed and budgetable price. In this arrangement, your company will know upfront what GCM charges and what to expect. Your company can then more accurately budget and predict its maintenance costs and free up capital reserves.
8. Navigate complex regulatory environment
Facilities professionals must understand multiple regulatory and compliance laws and stay abreast of frequent changes and new developments. GCM invests significant resources to train their employees and develop best-practice processes and procedures for navigating these issues. By outsourcing, your company places this responsibility in expert hands without sacrificing its own resources for training, technology or process development.
9. Improve flexibility
The economies of scale that arise from serving multiple clients for the same purpose create a broad skill set for GCM, which can be rapidly transferred between the clients it serves. By outsourcing facilities maintenance, a company immediately increases its flexibility by increasing its skill set and knowledge base. Tasks which were previously out-of-scope can be quickly assimilated and emergency situations can more rapidly be addressed.
10. Soft cost savings
In addition to the hard cost savings, companies that outsource typically realize additional soft cost savings beyond the direct impact to the facilities maintenance budget.
These include hiring costs, training costs and employee benefits. Additionally, administrative burden greatly decreases by removing several duties, such as processing work requests, generating and reconciling purchase orders for materials and several other administrative activities.
