Discover how Gridbase is transforming commercial real estate management through our geospatial intelligence platform that integrates disconnected building systems.
Gridbase: The Why, The What

Gridbase emerged from a simple observation: despite advances in technology, assets and devices installed throughout commercial buildings remain highly fragmented, largely disconnected, and quite inefficient overall. This results in an environment that is very difficult to manage.

The Why

The problem is clear - commercial real estate management is plagued by disconnected systems, siloed data, and inefficient operations. Facility operators struggle with:

  • Fragmented building assets and devices
  • Disconnected management systems
  • Inefficient operational workflows
  • Limited visibility across their building portfolio

The What

Our single pane of glass enables our customers to centrally manage their portfolio of facilities using our geospatial intelligence platform purpose built for complex commercial real estate.

Gridbase provides facility operators 3D floorplans (supporting CAD, PDF, and/or Paper inputs); helps visualize and manage all critical assets from an intuitive interface; and, integrates distributed systems (e.g., access control, cctv, environmental sensors, etc.) into a single platform.

Beyond Observation

Beyond superb observability, and manual remote management of integrated devices, Gridbase's Smart Workflow feature brings conditional / policy-driven automation for automatically managing important recurring and ad-hoc operations.

Our platform transforms how facility managers operate their buildings by providing:

  • Comprehensive visibility of all building assets
  • Intuitive 3D visualization of facilities
  • Integrated management of distributed systems
  • Automation of critical operational workflows
