Facilio has announced that it has on-boarded three new education institutions – Breck School and Purdue University Fort Wayne in the US and Acorn Early Years in the UK – to its growing education client portfolio. These institutions have chosen Facilio’s Connected CMMS suite to digitise and streamline their campus operations, gain real-time visibility and enhance the overall student and faculty experiences.

“Maintaining a high-quality on-campus facility is crucial for increasing student enrollment and retaining staff, but paper-based processes and outdated tools get in the way of facility management (FM) teams working to uphold the institution’s standards. Facilio’s Connected CMMS unifies all campus operations and maintenance in one place, offering more than just asset and record maintenance. Real-time insights help FM teams drive service excellence from day one and gain operational control and autonomy,” said Prabhu Ramachandran, the CEO of Facilio.

Facilio’s centralised cloud-based platform equips the institutions with:

  1. Unified asset management, to decrease asset downtime, gain operational control and automate maintenance schedules, improving staff and student experiences.

  2. Automated compliance management, with real-time incident reporting and proactive inspection to ensure campus health, safety and reputation.

  3. A self-serve staff portal for students and staff members to easily raise service requests, track work order progress and provide feedback in real-time.

Mike Thorson, the director of facilities at Breck School said, “Facilio consistently pushes the envelope in terms of innovation. 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 customisation and flexibility that allows us to tailor the system to our specific needs, ensuring that it can evolve with our FM requirements.”

Ashley Tash, the director of operations and maintenance at Purdue University Fort Wayne said, “We needed a reliable system in place to track, manage, plan and report FM related activities all in one place, which was hard to achieve with the tool we previously used- this is what led us to partner with Facilio. We have centralised control across campus, helping our FM teams to focus on more strategic initiatives.”

Facilio works with many other education institutions including Royal Grammar School Dubai and Fortes Education in Dubai, helping them to manage campus facilities, enhance student safety and maximise technology ROI by using the power of IoT.
