Simplify Space and Event Management
The Facility Portal is a web application built on an open source framework that Novus Insight introduced in 2014. Regularly enhanced since then, its purpose is to eliminate the administrative chaos often associated with tenants and non-tenants reserving building resources like conference rooms.

“We’ve been searching for a system like this for over a year.”
– Facilities Director | Large Community Foundation
Novus originated as a nonprofit in a multi-tenant, shared resource facility. We developed the Facility Portal based on first-hand experience and feedback from other tenants. Today, the system has evolved into an indispensable tool for organizations wanting to manage spaces and building resources more effectively.
What type of organizations use this system?

We originally designed the Novus Facility Portal for budget-conscious nonprofit centers, yet it is well-suited for many types of office environments. Though the system is now an enterprise-quality application, it remains affordable for even small organizations that only have a few spaces to manage.
