Rick Unruh, Akana’s Group Manager for Asset Management Services, recently teamed up with Josh Lowe, Co-Founder and Chief Solutions Officer of AkitaBox to discuss the importance of facilities data management. Their collaborative whitepaper was published in Corporate Real Estate Journal. While the publication is geared towards commercial real estate, the content of the paper remains the same for business sectors such as governmental agencies, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing and utilities.

The paper presents a roadmap for improving facilities data management while covering some of the pitfalls. Spoiler alert: the biggest problem is poor quality data. Without quality assessment data, property management, capital planning and tenant satisfaction will suffer, leading to lower property values, loss of trust and reputation.

The article advocates for consolidating facilities data into a unified management platform, enabling better visibility and maintenance, which in turn fosters more informed decision-making, operational efficiency, and increased profitability.

Bottom line – bringing your data up to date and on a single platform can give you a more informed, efficient and profitable operation.
