1. Master data

Master data forms the foundational elements within any IWMS (Integrated Workplace Management System), serving as the backbone for organizational operations and decision-making processes. It comprises essential information that remains relatively static and holds significant importance for the organization's day-to-day activities.

Master data serves as a reference point for various operational processes, enabling users to accurately identify, track, and manage assets, buildings, areas, and contacts across different functionalities within the software. By maintaining a centralized repository of master data, organizations can streamline processes, improve data integrity, and enhance decision-making capabilities.
