Count up the number of things you have to do to keep a building or an entire portfolio of buildings running on top of the number of people enter and exit a building in a single day, the total number of tasks adds up pretty quickly. Chief Product Officer, Dan O’Gorman, discusses the benefits adopting PropTech and why it’s important for both the occupier and building team.
Whether or not you’re running a single building or a large portfolio, it is vital that you have a smooth, efficient workflow of completing everyday tasks and ensuring a reliable thread of information is created along the way. With Locale’s seamless platform, gone are the days of paper trails, clusters of post-it notes and bursting email inboxes. Here’s how…
Save precious time and money by working smarter
When you adopt Locale, you can save over 100 hours per week of staff time which is the equivalent of £100,000 per year for a single building. That’s a lot of freed up time and money which can be dedicated towards buying new resources for a building and more opportunities for front-of-house teams to spend helping occupiers and addressing their needs and wants with greater attention and detail.
Keep up with new occupier expectations
With technology being an integral part of everyday life, occupiers now also expect access to information and services on-demand. Everyone can now get instant access to banking and stream videos whenever they want, so why should this be any different for your building? Tech needs to be weaved through every touchpoint in an occupier’s journey, providing personalised, relevant information. With Locale, everyone can get instant information using our Bookings module to secure meeting rooms or social areas. The Building and Events calendar can help occupiers plan their diaries around key activities and front-of-house staff can get real-time Data and Analytics using Locale’s module to better understand occupier behaviour and building performance.
Bring concierge services into a new era
Front-of-house teams sometimes stand at the centre of a building. With occupiers and concierge teams crossing paths multiple times in a single day, there’s lots to organise so operations can run smoothly. Our Visitor Management module allows touchless and smart access to your building with smartphone-enabled entry for visitors. With geolocated visitor passes with Apple Wallet and Google Pay integration, you can achieve greater security for everyone who passes through your door.
Make your occupier communication transparent and direct
Instant communication is a brilliant way to give your occupiers essential updates, such as when fire alarm tests will take place, any maintenance work is taking place and how long any potential disruptions may be and when parcels are ready for collection. When using Locale modules like Announcements, Community Groups and Polls, you can have a constant, relevant stream of information and updates between both building teams and occupiers.
