FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
King’s School Canterbury, a leading independent school in the UK, has selected Idox’s CAFM Explorer® Cloud solution to support the modernisation of its facilities management operations across three sites.
King’s sought a user-friendly, mobile-enabled system to replace its legacy setup and better support its estates team, comprising both retained engineers and external contractors.

As part of the five-year agreement, the school will use CAFM Explorer® Cloud to:
- Centralise core FM processes across three sites, supporting both in-house engineers and external contractors
- Improve oversight of planned and reactive maintenance activities through a unified asset register
- Streamline compliance management, including asbestos tracking and document control
- Enhance space utilisation and coordination through integrated room booking and stock management tools
- Enable real-time mobile access for facilities teams, ensuring greater flexibility and responsiveness
Robin Falcon, Director of IT at King’s School Canterbury said: “We’re pleased to be working with Idox to modernise our approach to estates and facilities management. CAFM Explorer® Cloud gives us a practical, easy-to-use system that will help our Estates team stay responsive and better manage our estate across multiple locations.”
