3 Institutions Digitize Campus Facility Operations

Property operations and maintenance software provider Facilio has onboarded three new education institutions, the company announced in a press release. Breck School in Minnesota, Purdue University Fort Wayne in Indiana, and Acorn Early Years in the United Kingdom will all implement Facilio's Connected CMMS suite "to digitize and streamline their campus operations, gain real-time visibility, and enhance the overall student and faculty experiences," the announcement said.

Facilio's cloud-based platform offers:

  • Unified asset management, to decrease asset downtime, gain operational control, and automate maintenance schedules;
  • Automated compliance management with real-time incident reporting and pre-scheduled audits; and
  • A self-service portal that enables students and staff members to submit service requests, track work order progress, and provide feedback.

"Maintaining a high-quality on-campus facility is crucial for increasing student enrollment and retaining staff. However, many operations and facility management teams face challenges in upholding these standards due to the limited workforce, heavy reliance on paper-based processes, and the use of outdated legacy tools for managing operations," said Facilio CEO Prabhu Ramachandran, in a statement. "Facilio's Connected CMMS unifies all campus operations and maintenance in one place, offering more than just asset and record maintenance. Its AI-driven automation and real-time insights help institutions drive service excellence from day one and help facility managers gain operational control and autonomy."

"Facilio consistently pushes the envelope in terms of innovation," commented Mike Thorson, Director of Facilities at Breck School. "Their commitment to continuous improvement and staying ahead of industry trends assured us that their Connected CMMS platform would be a future-proof choice. It offers a level of customization and flexibility that allows us to tailor the system to our specific needs, ensuring that it can evolve with our FM requirements. Besides, it's intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring that our team can easily navigate and utilize the system to its full potential without extensive training or support."
