Simplify Space and Event Management
The Facility Portal, introduced by Novus Insight in 2014, is a web application built on an open-source framework. Continuously enhanced since its inception, it aims to eliminate the administrative chaos often associated with reserving building resources, such as conference rooms, for both tenants and non-tenants.

“We’ve been searching for a system like this for over a year.”
