AUSTIN, Texas, July 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Accruent, the leading provider
of workplace and asset management solutions, today announced the launch of
Accruent Space Intelligence(TM) (ASI), its latest space optimization and planning
solution. ASI is designed to help organizations manage the complexities of the
current workplace landscape, which has experienced a substantial shift toward
underutilized office spaces since the pandemic-expected to surge to as much as
1 billion square feet by the end of this decade. Additionally, projected vacancy
rates are anticipated to be 55% higher than pre-pandemic levels.(i)
In response to the evolving workplace, where 87% of organizations have hybrid
work programs and 72% rely on data for space utilization planning(ii), ASI
overcomes key challenges such as fragmented data sources. The space intelligence
solution provides centralized insights from aggregated data that empower
companies to make informed, strategic decisions based on a comprehensive view of
their portfolio.
ASI reduces the time, resources and redundant systems that organizations and
educational institutions often rely on for gathering and analyzing space
utilization data, offering a standout solution in a market where many
organizations lack dedicated space management software or are seeking better
alternatives to their current systems.
The solution's primary module offers a single pane of glass analytics tool that
simplifies complex utilization data by transforming it into actionable insights.
This capability allows corporate real estate professionals to gain a holistic
understanding of their current space usage and to strategize effectively.
Complementing this is a forecasting capability that acts as a virtual testing
ground, enabling teams to simulate departmental restacking and scenario
comparisons, enhancing planning accuracy and foresight.
ASI's digital tools for scenario planning natively integrate with Accruent's
EMS® and FAMIS 360® products and with various other customer data streams,
including lease and badge data. This integration is key to facilitating
accurate, data-driven decision-making.
"Our goal is to enable our customers to take advantage of workplace data to
maximize their current spaces to better align with today's employee and student
needs. This is a key contributor to cost savings at a time when corporations and
universities are navigating budget constraints and optimizing their environments
to changing space needs," said Richard Leurig, Chief Product and Technology
Officer at Accruent.
Key features of ASI include:

  * A single pane of glass analytics tool that distills utilization data and
    reveals comprehensive insights.
  * A consolidated view of key data - including space usage, lease details, and

operational costs - across all sites, with the ability to dive into granular

    data at building and floor levels.
  * Dynamic dashboards and interactive floor plans for scenario planning,
    allowing for easy comparison, collaboration, and measurement of space
    utilization changes.

* A forecasting capability that offers a virtual testing ground in which teams can restack departments and spaces and plan for future capacity scenarios.
