Eptura expanded room booking hardware compatibility to include Android devices. Now users can reserve desks, lockers, and parking spots in 15-minute increments.

Data-led insights

• Real-time availability and occupancy information: New integrations with Freespace sensors and Fortinet switches provide enterprises with deeper insights and actionable information from sensor and Wi-Fi data, improving space efficiency through real-time visualization and analysis of seat availability and occupancy.
• Advanced asset data tools: Enterprises can centralize physical asset data in one accessible repository, with powerful reporting and dashboards to guide maintenance, operations, and capital improvement strategies.

Comprehensive built environment management

• Comprehensive building information modeling (BIM) data: Building on Archibus by Eptura’s BIM Viewer, this solution leverages 3D BIM technology and digital twins to enhance space reporting and occupancy management, offering a unified visualization of building systems and spaces for optimized planning and sustainability, without requiring Revit or 3D CAD training.

“At Eptura, we believe that seamless connectivity and insightful intelligence are the cornerstones of modern enterprise success. Yet, many leaders find themselves constrained by disjointed technologies and isolated data, hindering their ability to optimize real estate, elevate employee experiences, and maximize asset longevity,” said Fabrice Martin, Chief Product Officer at Eptura. “To address these challenges, we’re thrilled to introduce a suite of new capabilities across our product line, including a unified login, advanced AI, and a powerful data analytics offering, all designed to eliminate barriers and consolidate solutions.”
