Visual Real Estate and Facilities Management

Ours is a visual world. Visual media and technology stream into our phones, our cars … even our refrigerators. Now we are approaching an age when these technologies converge. Now, we use mobile phones to see our cars on GPS maps to find the refrigerator store.

In the real estate and facilities management arenas, visual technology is nothing new. The ability to view floor plans in a facilities management context has been around for more than a decade. The past few years, however, have rendered amazing advancements when it comes to visualizing real estate and facilities assets. Bricsnet is on the forefront of these advancements, offering a broad range of visualization tools:

• Cutting Edge Maps: Combine Bricsnet’s powerful real estate and facilities management capabilities with a map application of your choice, including Google Earth, Google Maps or Microsoft Virtual Earth. View demographic reports directly on maps, drill into your facilities, perform powerful searches and conduct site selection with real time data.
• Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Push KPI dashboards to end user portals based on role; measure the “health” of your projects, portfolio, maintenance operations and contracts at a glance; configure favorite reports and create graphics in a wide range of formats (e.g., pie, bar, table).
• Stacking: Run stacking reports to see which organizations, people and assets are occupying space, what they are using it for, and how that contributes to costs, productivity and efficiency. Create color coded reports and view floor plans by organizational assignments, vacancies, costs centers and more.
• Document Management: Attach CAD drawings, photographs and other images to any record throughout the system. Apply version control, check-in/check-out and discussion threads to visual documents in a controlled environment. Collaborate at new levels through Internet Explorer without the need for expensive applications installed on end-user machine.
